'LOVE' mini album out November 8th, 1st of five 15th anniversary releases [III]

[Benikari47]

I haven't wholeheartedly "loved" a video of Ayu's since BALLAD, everything since then have been either mediocre or just okay. However i really appreciate the Song 4 U PV.. idk why, it just does it for me. I don't love it but it was a nice little surprise, the concept is nice and she looks amazing.

The Missing PV was pretty boring though. Ayu looked stunning! especially in the last scene when she stopped singing, but overall it was the same thing through the whole video. I ain't mad though, considering the songs are FLAWLESS.

All I need now is a *new* PV that could get a twist (even a little, like Ayu in feathers in Moments or a "death" in BRILLANTE) or a costume changes (and backround, like Lady Dynamite, GREEN etc) . Cause they share the same schematic all over, - one good stylisation aaaand that's it. She stands there. Sometime sits.

As far I don't like the cheesy You & Me PV story, I appreciate it have both of it (scenery/costume change + a little twist in the end)

I knew that Melody will grow on a lot of people eventually, it's too beautiful not to.

Well, a lot of ayu's recent PV compromise commercial (interest) for art.

I pray there is an acoustic version of melody on again!!!

[lightningrod]

The only thing that bugs me is the insufficient length of "Song 4 u". Someone please make an extended version!

[inthezone]

She needs to work with Joseph Khan, or some other high budget director.

YES it Should be in the next release, please Ayu!

i didnt regret having faith in this song from beginning,even though many said that Melody is boring and easily forget from the first preview

[inspire_rmx]

personally i'm soo in love with all 3 tracks but my personal fav is definitely Melody. the song is stunning in every way. especially the ending when Ayu sing in her upper range.. such a pretty way to end the song. I can definitely see Melody as a concert staple last song
I'm SOOOO in love with Ayu again with this new release -happiness-

This would be amazing

Song 4 U and Missing have grown on me after seeing the PVs, especially S4U. I'm starting to really like all 3 new songs, maybe I'll fall in love with them after a few more listens.

I would say anything would be better then the original version, but then i heard that remix. lol

[Beauty4123]

i think "LOVE" is such a good mini album! "Melody" is lovely & "Missing" and "Song 4 u" are amazing, as well. now i look forward to "again" and to the other releases from this anniversary project!

[jyujiw]

I hope that we could get another high budget and produced video for this year. Ayu usually does one in the even years xD

2010 - Virgin Road
2008 - GREEN
2006 - Jewel

Hypothesis, hypothesis, don't take it so seriously

[ayumisrael]

Song 4 u was composed by HINATAspring & Yuta Nakano. Is it HINATAspring's first time with ayu? (I think it is?) Song 4 u is also #1 on the real time ranking of uta-net it was #17 weekly at the debut last week (most popular lyrics website in japan lol). Not that it says anything sales wise.

[love in music]

Ugh, the videos are so boring. So disappointed. She looks good, but the videos are so stupid.

[BlackSilence]

^ they are...simple and may be borring, but what's so stupid about them exactly?

[microphone]

People need to see action and stunts to be impressed, nowadays. I personally loved both PV's.

[Delicious n Bold]

Has the CD started to ship for anyone yet?

[TeamAyu2004]

Not me.. sadness.. I want my copy, yesterday. lol

I don't want to see action and stunts tbh, I agree her PVs aren't horrible or anything but I wish there were interesting things happening in them. But the problem is also that she's working SO MUCH with Masahi Muto it's getting really boring. I like his style, he's got a lot of great ideas, but in the end his videos are really similar recently.
Glad some people like them though !

[isthisLOL?]

This entire EP is just one big disappointment. The songs, the videos. Some of the remixes are decent I guess, Song 4 U has potential given a rearrangement and Missing is great when you ignore how rehashed it is, but as one of her special 15th anniversary releases this is just...lazy.
