How can you say that? I think Ayu's rock songs are some of, if not the best JROCK music (definately the best by a female) out there. I would never call,
GAME,
About You,
Because of You, or
is this LOVE? pathetic. They are some of her best works!
I don't think Kumi's voice goes well with this song at all, and the melody of the lyrics doesn't get me - they don't seem rock enough and seems like it could use more emotion - Ayu's rock songs (actually all of her songs) always have emotion oozing out of them. I think Kumi may be able to pull of a good rock tune with some practice and given more than a few weeks.
I'll Be There: 9.5/10
I love, Love, LOVE this song! It seems many people don't like it but considering I also love Someday, WIND, and my favorite of the 12 singles - feel (people are comparing this song to these other songs), I love it. I think it is the best song on this single.
JUICY: 4/10
I was expecting alot more of this track. I loved D.D.D. and grew to crave Candy, but this track seems unfinished. It seems it is missing a few beats and could have been an even better song if given a little more time. The sounds and beginning remind me of Namie and her songs on Queen of Hip Pop - if I didn't know this was Ku, I would think it was Namie at first.
With Your Smile: 7/10
I do like this song with it's happy and upbeat chorus but I think it had the potential to be something even better. Not as good as Koi No Tsubomi but fun none-the-less
Covers: 1/10
I did not like any of the covers Ku chose for her 12 single project but adored the covers to Koi No Tsubomi. I was hoping for something even better - hot and steamy. Maybe Ku in a sexy and fashionable bikini being engulfed by a huge wave with the hot sun hanging in the corner... These pictures don't do anything for me and aren't Hot at all... Needless to say I am dissapointed by the MAROC photobook cover...
Overall: 4/10
I was expecting something more, but as mentioned above, this is meant to expand her fanbase with a variety of song styles while still keeping true to what her current fans came to love about her. Not really a HUGE hit on this single IMO, but 2 of the songs are fun even though they all seem they could have been better given a little more time and production.
