Actually, funny thing, but the earliest previews i heard of "my name's WOMEN" i didn't like, but then when i heard the full song I loved it.

I listen a little part from the preview, and i can say Lady Dynamite rocks. i am so curious witch songs will be interludes. I think maybe montage, but i hope that would be a full song, the title soundes so cool.

Oh my gosh....
I apologize, I've got to write a mini-review for this, it's my first time being on AHS for an album release/following an Ayu album until release!
Count Down:
I really LOVE it. The slow, yet persistent rock... like a rock ballad. Same sort of style as criminal... the half ballad half rock song. Not BALLAD enough to put me to sleep, but just great stuff. Her vibrato is a very deep tone here, but not overused.
Lady Dynamite:
Picking up from where NEXT LEVEL left off... wow part electro, part rock. I actually really like it! The chorus/guitar riffs are great...
It's not my favorite, but it'll definitely grow on me. I like it enough to put on repeat.
Sexy Little Things:
Upon first listen, I was thinking "oh God, what's this...?" because it was so unexpected!
But it's definitely different. Electro Swing Pop is the right name for it... charming. The chorus is catchy and cute. I like it.
Bottom Line:
Microphone reigns Queen, but I love all four tracks so far! It has a very diverse style, but I but when I hear it all together it'll have great transitions. This album is so promising...

Give me a break. She is creative. She may not be some ground-breaking, revolutionary muse, but even the things that have "been done before", she pulls off in her own way.

HE'S COPYING EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS PREVIOUSLY USED A GUITAR! OMG BOY BANDS ARE COPYING THE BEATLES! OMG LADY GAGA IS COPYING MADONNA/DAVID BOWIE BECAUSE SHE'S NOT COPYING EVERYONE ELSE, AND ANYONE WHO IS DIFFERENT IS OBVIOUSLY CHANNELING MADONNA. OMG AYUMI IS COPYING LADY GAGA BECAUSE SHE INCORPORATED ALEXANDER MCQUEEN IN HER PV!

THIS. One-hundred percent dead-on.

[ILoveGeniuses]

oh, are there any pictures out yet of the R'N'RC first press posters or Draw prizes yet?

[amorphose]

I think Lady Dynamite sounds like a NEXT LEVEL track, done right though. haha It's really becoming a favorite already too! It's official~ I love all the new songs except Sexy little things, which I'm still undecided on. But it's PV looks freaking great.

[relmy]

I love the sexy little things clip!

Am I the only one who thinks well... this is meant to be sarcastic? As in... she's mimicking on purpose, because people like Gaga are selling a sexual image...Even her facial expressions are very "I know I look ridiculous, but it's sexy yeah?"

[zellyx]

I know I had that long review on the last page, but I think count down is going to be a favorite of mine... (:
That's my favorite from the previews, although I applaud the uniqueness of the others!

[love in music]

I think people will either love SLT or hate it because it's so weird lol. It's probably the weirdest song I've heard since Ai otsuka's "pon pon". So far I'm a lover of it though, it's so addicting.

[Keiichi_JPU]

Microphone makes me want to hide in a corner, shiver with fear while crying tears of pure ecstasy. I want to marry this song. I want to marry it and make babies right now.

This.

Microphone's definitely the best of all the new songs. Best Ayu song in quite a while if you ask me.

[zellyx]

@SoldierofSilence
Thanks!! Ayu's I am... photoshoot/cover/mag scans are pretty sexy if you ask me. :p

@identity
I agree... "pon pon" by Ai was so.... odd. But likeable at the same time. I can see that happening with Ayu's SLT. (: Is it weird that SLT reminds me of BLT? I'm craving one right now...

@Keiichi
well that was totally quotable.
I want to request someone to make me a set with that quote... @_@

[ayufan-]

hey, i hav ebow a signature, can you see it or not. and not, what must i do? I also think microphone is one of the best tracks. And it will maybe the song she will preform live on tv Ithink.

Agreed.
Although one of her best songs for me was Rule, and that really wasn't that long ago...

[Chessur]

Anyway, we are not having an argument. It's a discussion taking place within a discussion board. It's actually a decently healthy discussion as well; no profanities and adequately objective. WE MUST LEARN TO DEBATE IN ORDER TO PRESERVE AN OPEN MIND! *university university university*

100% agreed. Just because opinions differ, does not mean that it's an argument that needs to be avoided, locked, or abolished. Healthy debate and discussion is a good thing. A lot better than mindless posts.

It's not good if the focus is bashing of other artistes though. Not saying it's you, but I'm sure you know most of the posts in the past few pages have been bashy in nature.

Anyway, Microphone is awesome yes. Like what Keiichii said... wanna make love to it and have babies. xD

[truehappiness]

Just to chime in on the GaGa thing (again):
It looks like GaGa-ish because GaGa has worn a lot of outfits from the same collections that Ayu has in Sexy little things. It's not a bad thing imo, but it just means that Ayu and GaGa have similar fashion tastes. (same collections/different pieces, but some are the same.)

For example, the lip shaped hair and hair coats have been worn by GaGa at some point in Bad Romance and around the promotional period of Bad Romance. GaGa wore the original Gareth Pugh MEGATRON ARMS black outfit during a performance on the X Factor which Ayu has an interpretation/remake of in the Sexy little things PV. GaGa also wore outfits from McQueen's Horn of Plenty show from Fall 2009 which Ayu has outfits from in Sexy little things as well.

This is not Ayu copying GaGa, but Ayu embracing English fashion that just so happens to also have been worn by GaGa. I don't know why people seem to be so defensive about GaGa comparisons being made because it's basically FACT that some of these things have been used by GaGa. It's not really that bad imo since GaGa is a pretty fierce -bleep-.... haha.

That's exactly what I've been thinking. It seems overdone and insincere to the point of being humorous.
