[Official Message] LOVE CLASSICS in stores 2015.01.28 - Page 10

Just finished listening to the album.

This version of winding road just might be my favorite version of the song. Same goes for SEASONS. I also liked Voyage and Virgin Road, though the chorus sounds a bit flat in the latter.

Those four songs were pretty much all I liked. Didn't really care for much else.

2. A real orchestra with much less synth

Definitely. I know some people were against the re-recorded vocals, but I think with her tone now they could have gone down a couple octaves and made the tracks sound a lot fuller. From how she/they described the album, it did its job well: the tracks are light/easy listening, the mashup is there, and it certainly twisted both her tracks and the classical pieces for everyone to enjoy.

But yes, a deeper re-recording, fuller orchestra, and dropping it an octave or two would have definitely "wow"ed me a lot more. They had a chance with her later releases (Days and Virgin Road), but it wasn't as impactful as it could have been.

HONEY was also pretty good! I didn't think it was bad at all, and it certainly exceeded my expectations.

anyone has the MP3 version of the album?

brener · #**185** 28th January 2015, 01:18 PM

^ you can download it on iTunes =)

by the way, did she record all the vocals for this album?

truehappiness · #**186** 29th January 2015, 08:08 AM

I think they are all the old vocals with new backing instrumentals.

Gorgeous album and awesome concept.

revolution9292 · #**187** 29th January 2015, 09:13 AM

YES! It would be a progression from what she started with POWER of MUSIC.

Also, does anyone know who did the arrangements for these songs? Was it Nobita-kun?

greggerz189 · #**189** 29th January 2015, 10:41 AM

Also, I think the arrangement of TO BE on this album is pretty baller.

Anyone who ordered their copy from mu-mo shop had it ship yet? Probably the first time I've not had an order ship the day of, or even the day before, the release!

I hope it arrives before the 4th as I need to consolidate my happy box and another purchase by then

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #**191** 29th January 2015, 03:25 PM

yeah tenso just finally received mine today. took a while for some reason.

krtman2002 · #**192** 29th January 2015, 08:23 PM

The concept of this album was scary but we have to admit that it's a great album. It's a shame she didn't re-recorded the songs, but I'm really happy with the final product.

As always, Dearest is flawless... I know we've had a lot of "slow" versions, but this one is beautiful!

Chibi-Chan · #**193** 29th January 2015, 10:28 PM

I can't stand wrong tags... lol so what are the correct tags for this release?

The back cover says: Voyage [Johann Pachelbel: Canon in D major]
The obi, official website and youtube account says: Voyage [パッヘルベルのカノン]
iTunes says: Voyage [LOVE CLASSICS Ver.]

I'm going crazy right now... xD

Yep. Though I wish she used her 10th anniversary vocals from TO BE, You and Who

brener · #**195** 30th January 2015, 03:55 AM

By the way Voyage was the most downloaded track on the release day =)

I didn't listen to any preview so I wouldn't spoil anything, and I gotta say it's a bit a let down for me. Yes, the songs are good, maybe except for HONEY, bit there was no song that made me WOW like You & Me or Love song from A CLASSICAL (and even kanariya from the last ayu-mi-x). Maybe that's cause they were all mash-ups, but I'm just not feeling a great aura in them...

perfectodub · #**198** 30th January 2015, 10:21 PM

when i listened the album for the first time, i really loved the concept and the songs
today i listened it for the 2° time, and it was really bouring XD i can't stand 2 minutes of each song. to be honest is like any other acoustic orchestra album to me.

labello · #**199** 31st January 2015, 12:14 AM

I'm not a huge fan of Dearest in general; the original arrangement kind of bores me. It is pretty but slightly to monotonous for me. This version however is really pretty and keeps me interest throughout the whole song.
The album had an interesting concept. I wasn't sure what to expect but I think it all worked out quite nicely. The songs sound really nice and not even the older songs with her old vocals sound bad

Embleu · #**200** 31st January 2015, 04:18 AM

I thought Honey was going to be a mess, but it turned out to be one of the best on the album! I am impressed.

And I love what they did with Seasons.
