I just received Love Songs. Yes, customs kept it away from me so I had to wait for over a month. I was strong and didn't listen to any leaks. I really like it so far. I can see myself loving it soon. Except for MOON/blossom which for me are Ayus weakest songs and her weakest single ever. The album tracks are very nice, and it works with the cover, it feels like a light warm album, well put together. I prefer it over Rock'n'Roll Circus already - by miles, but I didn't really like Rock'n'Roll Circus that much so maybe that's not saying much.

I always hated MOON - I found it very anti-climatic. Very forced. But now on the album, I listened to it in full a few times and the intro is amazing. I like the arrangement and I love Ayu's voice but I feel her voice is too "simple" and "clean" for the power the instrumentation gives. But I have grown to like it a lot now. I have always loved blossom though!

I've actually come to like MOON less on the album because I find the other songs so much more amazing... I replace the original with the orchestra on my mp3 player.

After a few weeks of listening...I've got bored with the album, and haven't really listened to it since December really. I can still appreciate that there's good songs on there, but...nothing caught my attention really. It's a shame.

Well I only think I listened to MOON once in full before the album.

I really don't see how people aren't loving this album. I do get how people think it's mediocre but for me that was a very short phase. Compared to R'n'R this album is gold.

About November again, her voice is gorgeous yes but I think the arrangement is just so beautiful and would love an instrumental. Just to listen to the full arrangement minus Ayu's voice until the final climactic chorus at the end.

^ Really? I think Sweet Season is the most pop track of the album, besides blossom. It's just like a mellow, chill pop song.

Sweet Season is a good song to listen to while driving! It's like a traveling song. I think that's why I fell in love with it when I started listening to it because I was on a roadtrip.
