Bye-bye darling is boring for the chorus. I'd must rather listen to Sending mail. Hell, I'd rather listen to the whole Love songs album over LOVE again. I remember when Love songs was announce, everyone thought it'd be ballads, but it wasn't all ballads. This is how Love songs would have sounded if that were the case. (well on the other hand, I hated Sending mail's hectic chorus at start too)

All in all, LOVE again is the watered down, less "masterpiece" version of Love songs...

I'll let the album sink in, but Love songs as whole is clearly the stronger contender here. I kinda felt like Love songs had great verses and builds but less exciting choruses at first. But never-the-less, this is my first impression of LOVE again. Wake me up and Missing are the only TRUE "masterpieces".

damn that sucks for you (not in a mean way), I think it's amazing I feel the exact opposite of you, love songs was "boring" to me. and party queen was a mess. I'm very very pleased with this album. Her vocals are excellent in this album. However, I definitely agree that the verses in this album are better than the choruses. The choruses need a little work. Like the verse in sakura. It's beautiful but the chorus is a litte bland.

petal sounds like a mixture of Pride and alan's 悲しみは雪に眠る, as well as a hint of Marionette in there. Except I do not particularily enjoy Pride, and that Marionette and alan's song are both better than Petal.

If you haven't heard alan's song, take a listen:


It's hauntingly beautiful and tragically sad.

I would assume they are just paid advertisements.
meaning they pay another company to plaster their trucks with advertisements.
I'm actually kinda surprised more people dont do that in big cities in america...
you see tons of cars, but never any big trucks like in tokyo

only petal and Bye-bye darling have that "something"

the rest sound "just ballady". SAKURA is a yawnfest for me.

Love songs album over LOVE again
Hum love songs and Love again have pretty much nothing in common except the word "LOVE" in the title ! The style & the arrangements of the songs are completely different IMO don't understand the comapraison between both albums ? lol (I don't criticism your opinion just want to understand ^^)

This album became the best for me so far....

...perhaps passing the initial excitement he becomes somewhere on top 3.
