new album "A ONE" 2015.04.08 in stores IV

[Delicious n Bold]

I mean wasn't there only one ballad on love songs? The rest were just midtempos...

[Tom Punks]

wow lol. not gonna listen to the preview but rolling over AHS hating it. my hopes are a little crushed now tbh. last thing this album needed was a third Walk.

@delicious n bold: nah, midtempo is more like, fuck I can't think of an example lmao. but crossroad, MOON, November etc. are most definitely ballads.

During the chorus I had the feeling that I was actually listening to another version of "Walk". It's not bad, just a little disappointing.

The build up kinda similar and the whole 'Boku wa' strengthen the another Walk feeling

[aliceshields]

Urghhhh~ I'm gonna save this song for last, until I got my physical copy...... @@

[!Lawi!]

The chorus sounds like Walk, it's true, but GOD. It's the first time in a long long time that I enjoy a classical Ayu ballad from the first play. The instrumentation is wonderful, and those verses, mmmmmh. I was disappointed it was a ballad for the first quarter of a second, then I started loving it.
My, the last classical ballad I liked so much was Together When.

[Ayumi Romania]

I think Anything for you it's ok but I want to hear the full version. 7 minutes seems interesting

[primavera♥]

I don't really care if it's uptempo since I expected a ballad anyway. I actually really like it. Probably because it's similar to Walk. I just hope it actually impresses me like Walk did. Otherwise, it's kind of lame.

[koumori]

I'm usually not the biggest fan of ballads, but I actually really liked the preview for Anything For You. Just something nice about it.

[Chibi-Chan]

I really like the preview of Anything for you. But A ONE has the same problem as LOVE again. It's full of ballads and midtempo songs, what makes it as an album boring as hell.
I mean, if an album is full of ballads and midtempo songs, the songs need to have VERY different and creative arrangements like those on Love songs. I love to listen to the songs on LOVE again seperately, because they are great, but it's not a great album. Same goes for A ONE which has The GIFT, Story, Zutto..., Walk and Anything for you which are way too similar to be on the same album.

[lastminute]

I resisted and haven't listened to any previews (I did listen to the previews from the promo events, once, so I don't remember how each song sounded like lol). I only listened to WARNING and The GIFT because of the PVs and that's all. I am terribly anxious, I hope it leaks soon!
As for "Anything for You", even though I have yet to listen to it, from what you guys say, I can see how it may be disappointing but I'm a sucker for ballads. GIVE ME THEM BALLADS, GIRL.
And, if it resembles Walk somehow, I can see myself loving it.

[Kazeyomi]

I wasn't expecting too much after reading Anything for you was a ballad. But after listening to the preview, I'm expecting a lot now.
It's totally a TK ballad, but there's something interesting on it. Both Ayu's voice and arrangement sounds clear and lovely. It doesn't sound cheesy like some other ballads so far.
Cannot wait to listen to the full version.

[Yukitora]

I love it. it's a beautiful happy version of walk. Love love love.

[Aderianu]

Uh... bad reviews. I'll wait for full version, maybe it will have something interesting in the end.. like "ikiteruyo"

[BlackSilence]

it's nice...the chorus however..the melody was so lovely until it hit the chorus, than tone....sounds really negative......I prefer walk from what i've heard in this one.

now i just though of what would like to hear from Ayu that she really doesn't have, an upbeat acoustic guitar track, or something like Rie Fu does, with acoustic stuff.. Like just her vocals and just the guitar. i think that would sound really fresh for her.

And um i have a feeling Step by Step is gonna be an other ballad lol

[andycruize]

To be honest this is her best album for me, all the songs are great. If u said her fucking ballads is boring, for me it is not.

[SKYia]

There's no such thing as too many ballads with Ayu, when Anything for You began I thought it will be the weakest song on the album but then I started to like it around 1:30 and by 2:30 I was already crying T__T I really like the twist at 1:30, though her voice could be less chipmunk, I seriously hope this will get a live performance, I want all songs to be performed from this album, it's so freaking awesome T_____T

Your comment made me wonder if this song could be the TK song she said that had high notes still she didn't want to lower the song key? Does any from the other songs could fit in this description? (I haven't listened to any so far)

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Gave it a couple more listens. It's crazy how quickly it grew on me.

[SpiceSquad!]

Anything for You

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE



cant ask for more..
