From the previews, I can't really tell. I really like what I've heard of "do it again" but the album is ballad heavy. It would be awesome if someone at Avex was like "hey, let's include DREAM ON"

Love song - it surprised me when I first heard it; it seemed so un-ayu but now that I've heard it full I've come to the conclusion that it couldn't be more ayu
![]() crossroad - not much of a fan of crossroad tbh. Its grown on me a lot but still just a little vanilla about it MOON - it bored me in the beginning but now I love it ![]() sending mail - I can tell already from just 30 seconds that I'm gonna love this song to death!! It's just so J-pop. Its actually something I would more expect from an idol group like AKB48 or something but damn its fantastic!! Last angel - I thought it could be Sparkle ~episode II~ but its no where near that standard I think, although I do think it is a great track insomnia - interlude ok, really mysterious interlude. Sounds like its been extracted from like a spy movie or something. I like it Like a doll - I was sort of hoping that this was gonna be a really gothic rock song like Marionette but I don't mind this really but it sounds too melo, it needs some rock lol ARiA - it basically is just an aria, nothing to shout about anyway blossom - I loved it in the beginning but its started to wear down now Thank U - Lalalala. Ok nothing loving it right now but it might change when I heard it live or something Sweet Season - its ok but again nothing to get excited over overture - like ARiA, does what it says on the tin do it again - this surprised me!! I was so expecting like an upbeat, poppy number but a ballad?! This could be very interesting. If it picks up a bit this could be an amazingly epic song November - again not the style I was expecting. It sounds quite nice I guess. The bit at the end reminds me of the Cloister of Trails from Final Fantasy X lol Virgin Road - really awesome ballad. Love it! SEVEN DAYS WAR - meh, at best Overall - I think ayu is trying to experiment with different styles but hasn't quite pulled it off to the greatest effect. So far the album is giving me a RAINBOW feeling, but I like RAINBOW so its all good ![]()

November: Ok.. but nothing spezial. Sound very old for me.
Love Song: I love it. A good song Sending Mail: No.... I don't like it so far. Like a doll: I like it. Thank you: Sounds like a Interlude for me. Do it again: Is it the first "only english" Ayu-Song? Sounds like a interlude for me to, from the part I heard. So... I think, to judge to the songs really.. I need to listen to it full. And I never care for interludes. Well, so see, if the full Version-Tracks will chance my opinion. |

sending mail - it reminds me so much of the chorus of "Mirrorcle World" but I know in full it will sound nothing like that song.. but so far I'm liking it!
insomnia - creepy sounding, but I love it. Like a doll - this is instant love for me. it sounds like no other ayu song.. very fresh! this is the full song I'll be looking forward to the most. Aria - this sounds so beautiful/peaceful! I love it so much. it would actually be perfect as an interlude before the acoustic orchestra version of blossom instead of the original mix Thank U - I think the chorus is going to wind up being stronger than the verses (from what I heard of one of the verses from the lq chaku uta recording).. but the chorus is just beautiful.. it reminds me of bridge to the sky overture - so beautiful. if she's going to have ballad-y interludes this is how they should be done. no generic HAL interludes! do it again - I think this preview is the intro to the song and it'll wind up being more upbeat, but I'm liking how it sounds so far. it definitely sounds like it'll build up and just be epic. November - her voice really touches me here. she's kind of screaming, yeah? but she sounds so sad. I get the feeling she really put her heart into this and is screaming out her emotions like she does in a lot of my favorite ballads from her (still alone, I am..., You were..., Key ~eternal tie ver.~, etc). I love her ballads like that. the ending part to this preview makes me excited too, because it's a sound you wouldn't really expect in her ballads. |

Wahhh I'm so pleasantly surprised by the previews. I just hope it's not a letdown. The songs sound reallyyyyyyy repetitive. Mm, but I'm glad they're not all sappy slow ballads. Smart move, on her part.
Musically, from the new songs, Do It Again sounds the strongest. I just hope isn't fully in English with a bunch of repetitive phrases or something XD Her voice sounds really nice in that song. The interludes bore me, to be honest... but there isn't a single full-song preview that I can say I "hate." They all sound pretty interesting. Can't wait to hear the entire album. I think I'll like it more than Rock'n'Roll Circus. I hope so, anyways, I was really disappointed with that album. |

Love song (8/10) - BY FAAAR THE BEST NEW SONG. if tk did this it is the gem amongst his shietty songs. what a good song, (y) the new microphone
crossroad (6.5/10)- the chorus is so ugly LOL but along with good instrumentation and some really nice verses it comes together nicely MOON (9.5/10)- THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM. ranks with a song like Moments for me. just as impressed as i was when hearing the lq chaku uta preview sending mail (4/10) - ugh... her voice sounds so low. and wth is this the bg music. i get the signal vibe, but it's like the worse version. hopefully the whole thing changes my mind Last angel (6/10)- pretty epic, but again without many listens the chorus is annoying insomnia (7/10)- i liiiike, phew finally another new song that catches my ear. i like the vibe Like a doll (3.5/10)- ... should have set my standards lower. i can't even remember how it sounds ARiA (6/10)- ughhh it's from a video game i think LOL. they should have invested in some video game tie in. blossom (7/10)- it's alright, still a nice song (y) Thank U (4.5/10)- ummmm wtfffff man LOL this song is so bs i smell tk all over this garbage and i LOVE honey so that's not why Sweet Season (7.5/10)- i liiiiike! overture (5.5/10)- why is the violen sounds so choppy. sounds 8-bit when it's not supposed to be or something '-____- do it again (5/10)- ya it surprised me but it just sounds so boring right now ughhhh November (4/10)- boring x2 why does at the end it have custy video game sound effects Virgin Road (6.5/10)- again, good song, bad chorus SEVEN DAYS WAR (7/10)- I LIKE. LOL the original was better but w/eee MY VERDICT: from the previews i'm so disappointed. i'm not rtrying to hate it. but it's so easy to hate. everything sounds so poorly produced thank god MOON and Love song are on it. ughhh even if the full songs end up nice these ugly choruses have tk written all over them. and if it's not him, shame on whoever did them i know it seems everyone hates every album, but ever since my fanship i've loved every album in some way, and i was stoooked for RnRC. but.... this is so disappointing ugh Last edited by Max_ZZZ; 9th December 2010 at 05:33 PM. |

Love song - Already love it from the earlier preview
sending mail - Whoa, not what I expected from the title, nor what other people where saying about ![]() insomnia - Ooo, has an air of mystery! Like a doll - Hmm, I like the piano in the background Aria - Pretty Thank U - La la la la la overture - Pretty, although it sounds like it's from a video game do it again - English! I think this song as potential to be epic November - I think is is my favorite preview (other than Love song)

Sending Mail
The arrangement sounds incredibly repetitive. The 'rock' aspect of it sounds lame. Those 30 seconds alone would put me off listening to the song again. Too over the top. Insomnia (Interlude 1) Sounds as if Dream On is the next song to play? But its not. I don't really understand the point of this interlude. I just don't see how it fits with the song before and after it. Like A Doll I assume we are hearing the chorus part of the song. This song might be alright (its hard to tell) Aria (Interlude 2) Sounds very sweet. I like it. And I rarely like Ayu's interludes. When I listen to this interlude I feel like I'm in some kind of French Renaissance garden party. Thank U I like. I like. I like it despite the fact that the only thing we've heard so far for the entire 30 seconds is La La La...LALAlaaaa. I have high hopes for this song! Overture (Interlude No...lost count) What is this? I liked Aria but is Ayu now making music for Disney princess movies now? Did I miss something??? Do It Again Arrangement is pretty cool...my only indiscretion is the repetitive lyrics. Ayu I know you're like 30 now but thats no excuse to be lazy lol. Once again, its hard to call this once, just hope for more lyrics and less engrish. November I think this will be another loved B-side by Ayu fans. As a whole, sounds like a promising album. ![]() Last edited by tinka69; 10th December 2010 at 07:15 AM. |

Agree. Quick! All you twitter people start spamming/tweeting ayu and max profiles! (It worked for the remix album.)

^lol pretty certain that's not possible at this point since all the major retailers will be getting their copies next week to prepare for shipment. Everything at this point is finalized unless they push back the release date. Plus dream ON isn't Ayu's single it's that AAA guy's... xD
Love song: Instant love. It sounds so Ayu-ish yet refreshing and brand new. So far, it's my favorite. sending mail: I standby my BODY FEELS EXIT/Just Communication impression. ![]() insomnia: Creepy, mysterious, haunting.. gawd, I love it sfm. ![]() Like a doll: Definitely getting Loveappears album vibes, the only part I'm not feeling is the 'Like a doll' bits but the rest sounds great. Aria: Very pretty and inspiring... kind of uplifting, it just puts me in a good mood. Thank U: Going against the majority here, I actually like the 'la, la's' here. ![]() overture: This is my least favorite of the interludes but still pretty good. do it again: Totally unexpected. The way she sings "sing, sing, sing do it again" just clenches my heart. It's catchy but moving... I just know it's going to a very memorable song for us... possibly a 'new' Ayu classic like Days. November: This admittedly leaves the least impression on me out of all the new tracks but when I'm listening to it, I really like it. Songs that do that to me usually end up being my favorites in the end lol so it isn't a bad thing. ![]() Overall, I just need this album in my life now. XD

You know, overture, towards the end, reminds me strongly of the Stargate SG-1 theme song. XD

I can't judge songs based on such small samples, but I'm liking what I'm hearing. I like the feel of this album, I like the lesser rock influence on this album. While all the tracks are simple, they all feel so fresh and... different? I don't know. I'd definitely take a whole album of simple sounding fresh tracks like Love Song over a whole album of dramatic "big" songs like Microphone. Or maybe she'll hit that magical middle ground that makes classic Ayu songs. Know what I mean? I can't explain it.

Just wondering, what makes it seem simple to you? if I was going to describe something as dramatic and "big" I'd say that about Love Song, not Microphone, haha.
