Thoughts on GUILTY

[Bad Wolf]

Oh yeah, my only complaint is that I wish Mirror was LONGERRRR...I LOOOOOVEEEEEE ITTTTT.....

Mirror would make a REALLY great remixed song, I think. I'm just imagining it like, 5 or 6 minutes long and being as epic as some of her Trance songs. *_*

I have to agree with that one, after all her rocks has the same type kinda, but still love it thou.
I wish she release more poppy songs next year, but still continue experiments with rock but not too much

I agree, too. I mean--I love Ayu's rock sound, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to hear more from her of a "pop" variety, or even experimenting with a more electronic-pop sound, something like KOTOKO or heck, the English act Portishead. I think such a sound would serve Ayu really well.

Fated. It's good. But to me it's problem is that I know next song is TW... which I usually want to hear more than fated so it's easy to skip. Fated is a song to listen when alone, outside, in a grey wheather, when feeling sad. Then it suits the mood perfectly with the soft piano, vocals and drums. It's beautiful song, but it hasn't really found it's place in GUILTY for me yet.

I think with fated you have to kinda look at it as a part 1 to Together When.... granted, glitter/fated go hand in hand together, but in terms of positioning on the album I think fated/Together When... are intended to be linked to each other content-wise as well as message. I dunno if that'll help at all!

InoriNoUta great review

Thank you!

Yeah I know... The lyrics are quite similiar too "I wanted to say I love you" and "If only I had loved you as many as the times I said I loved you". But to me it sounds kinda weird [come to think of, should I start a new topic since this is kind of off-topic? XD; Well anyway] that if she has said to this someone "I love you" (without meaning it though) and then she wishes she could have said "I love you"? Either the lyrics are about different persons, or in TW she means she wanted to truthfully say I love you and thank you. Who knows?
Yes, I can't really think any other place for fated than where it's positioned on GUILTY now or some other song to replace it either. It's an important part of GUILTY as an album, but I don't know whats with it. Whenever I listen to it I get a rather bothersome feeling. Maybe I was going trough such feelings in summer when I listened to it more, which are now left behind, so I personally don't anymore like that much of it's athmosphere when I'm overall happier. Fated is dark in a different way than other songs in GUILTY, because it's more like looking back behind wishing to have done something differently, while others are more reflecting present or future. TW... in that point of view too goes well with Fated. Maybe when I'll listen to GUILTY more I'll get to like Fated again too.
