new album "A ONE" 2015.04.08 in stores V

[Ryusei]

Grrr my package was stuck at customs for a day so I'll only get it tomorrow in other news A ONE is currently #2 on iTunes

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Weird that it's number 2 on iTunes album, yet Warning is at #182 and No Future is at #198 in singles? And as far as I saw the other songs weren't in the top 200...

[chocopockymaster]

...because people are buying the entire album and not just a few tracks?

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

But wouldn't that put all the songs in for total downloads anyway? ^

[!Lawi!]

I must admit I am completely convinced. Au has two types of albums: catchy ones that you forget easily, and albums that take time to get into. A ONE is definitely the latter, but I have to say this is pure Jpop gold. It's even more Jpop than most of her previous works. I love the sweet & sour atmosphere of the whole thing and for once I'm not even bothered by the ballads (maybe except Zutto...). Amazing Ayu, keep going

[Ryusei]

^^ isn't that just on recochoku?

[Surreal17]

I wonder when we'll get Tell All ~2015 mix~

Someone uploaded A ONE FLAC 48.0kHz/24bit from mora.jp to Jpopsuki. I'm dying right now.

Omg, so true!!! I still find her poppy albums memorable, but some of the ones that I don't immediately love at first, I find that they grow on me and I grow to LOVE them!!!

A ONE is definitely one of those albums for me. I have to say though, I do like a lot of the tracks off the bat though!!! A ONE is a lot better than Colours in my opinion.

[!Lawi!]

They are so different that I wouldn't dare comparing them! I loved Colours at the time because I always thought she needed something like Lelio in her discography. I have been in love with Angel for a long, long time and oh my god, I didn't know it before the album but I needed Terminal in my life! The album doesn't bore me now but I would listened to it all at once like I like to do with ther other albums. It's more like I'll randomly listen to one of the songs.

The only songs I dislike on A ONE are Zutto and TSMGO. I love it's verses but the chorus sounds so... Rough, screechy, I don't know how to describe it!

[femtrooper]

I feel like I need to re-listen to Colours from start to finish and just see how I feel about it now. It's been a little while since I've given it a true thorough listen. I love poppy Ayu though, and that was definitely on Colours.

My favourite style of Ayu song is her rock style songs like WARNING. Oh man, I am in LOVE with WARNING!!!

[Ryusei]

I'm soooo curious about oricon tomorrow and Recochoku, the good iTunes position is giving me more good vibes.. any number predictions?

[NintendoHTF1242]

This album is basic, but it's "Ayu basic;" and I like Ayu basic. The only tracks I didn't like were The GIFT, NO FUTURE, and The Show Must Go On. Basic ass songs lol.

thanks~ wonder why files so small ) A CLASSICAL was 140-200Mb per song

I didn't even realise I was looking at the luxury packaging in those photos as it's just the Party Queen & CDL 11/12 slip case/box thing.

[Delicious n Bold]

Ayuma is such a friggen diva. Every time I order her CDs, she never comes when she says she's out for delivery. She lies but then comes the NEXT day. Then she decides to come to my house when I'm not there and then I have to go pick her up because I missed her. It's always about when SHE wants to come over, not when I want her to.
Whatever, I love ha so it's ok.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Holy crap, A Bell is amazingly gorgeous. I actually think the stark contrast between it and WARNING is awesome.

I'm trying to like WARNING better this time. (Haha, I'm writing this while listening to the whole album for the 1st time. I am SO FUCKIN pumped for this CD!!)

[femtrooper]

Can't wait to go home and listen to it in full!!! From what I have heard though, it is pretty damn awesome. I hope I like more songs than dislike.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

The albums as a whole are very different in terms of sound and everything, but I can already tell that I'm going to have a very similar relationship with this album as I did with Colours where I didn't actually love all of the songs individually and yet loved listening to the whole thing.

Tee-hee.

I find that happens a lot, where I can't seem to pick a favourite (or atleast have several favourites), but I just LOVE listening to the whole thing!!!
