But yes, Sending Mail just reminded me of SINGAL. It's the first thing that popped into my head. I can't help it!

Am I the only one who hasn't even heard any of the singles? ^__^ [Just remix versions of Crossroad and Blossom + SDW] I'm not going to listen any, untill I get the album! It's much more interesting that way~ [I succeeded with RNC last March~ When I heard the full album and all of the songs were totally new to me [expect Sunrise/Sunset] it was so amazing, and totally worth of the waiting~]

It actually doesn't surprise me that there are 3 interludes total. It's the basic number I guess :3 And when I read those previews, the album sounds super so far!

Can't wait~

The previews are enough to make me feel like crying. God, why's this album so sad???

Aside from THANK U, everything else (even the single songs and interludes) just has this really sad undervibe to it, and the lyrics seriously don't help. I feel that's why this album feels so cohesive.

I miss that feeling!

I didn't follow Ayumi between 2003-2007 (I've been a fan of her since '03, but Idk. I guess I was just too busy doing other stuff, and I couldn't find a way to listen to the albums: No money, no computer, no nothing really!) and when I listened to GUILTY (the album) My reaction was: This is amazing, it's a masterpiece! And with all other albums too. Especially Secret. Let me tell you something, without having listened to any of the singles prior to the album's release, that album was like...God-like to me. I listened to it so damn much, haha. Anyways with NEXT LEVEL, when I finally had the album, I'd listened so much to the previews, the leaks, the single tracks...I wasn't excited after 3 listens. I guess this preview/leak thing really ruins stuff for me, so now I've decided I'm just not going to listen to the new songs Chaku-utas or the leaks.

I've listened to the single tracks, and that's it! Anyways, I admire your strength If I hadn't listened to the single tracks, I'd be even more excited for the album than I already am.

Oh yeah, better previews of all songs!

sending mail - I love, love, love this preview! Fresh and somehow nostalgic, don't know why.
insomnia - Dark and heavy, but sadly just an interlude.
Lika a doll - Hm, don't what to think and don't know if I'll like it. It sounds so weird. o.O
Aria - Really baroque sounding.
Thank U - Horrible. Curious about the full song though, but I'm afraid that's one of the songs I'll skip. Just too cutesy and sweet.
overture - Similar to Aria. Reminds me of some game soundtracks.
do it again - Interesting. Really interesting. Like it, but I do hope that it gets faster in some parts. Potential to be epic.
November - Sounds really nice, but I don't like the last part of the preview, sounds so...girly? Hope it's just that bit of the song.

Overall I love how dark and cohesive these previews sound, that's exactly what I want. With the full songs we already have it does remind me of LOVEppears. Yay!
This album is already thousand times better than RnRC, thank god.

Reading the other opinions it shapes up more and more as I do have another taste than 90% of the Ayu fans. ._.

[ren'ai]

Omg I died a little inside <3

The interludes sound gorgeous. So I don't care there's three.
Love song is fantastic and amazing. sending mail is awesome.
Like a doll sounds really nice! I hate the way she says like a doll though lol
Thank U sounds sweet... but not my cup of tea.
If do it again didnt have so much repetition, it could be so epic. It's sounds so sad.. the music is gorgeous.
November also sounds GORGEOUS. Reminds me of Virgin Road a lot though

And I already love all three singles on this album. This is shaping to be one of her best albums and I didn't think she'd be able to top R'n'RC so soon

SIGNAL was the first thing I thought of too.

[Kingdom]

The previews are unimpressive, and I was SO excited.

I never care for interludes. ARIA would have made a great song, though.

THANK U and do it again previews are so horrible, like, to the point of grating on my nerves. Ayu should stay away from the english repeats and LALALALA-LAs.

Like a doll, November and Love song are good, but nothing compared to the single tracks.

SIGNAL is one of my favorite JPop songs ever so that sounds like a win for me <3

[kendelle]

These songs sound hella catchy xD

[majrakun]

Just wondering, since I won't be listening to the previews, which of the interludes have vocals and maybe lyrics?

insomnia might have some vocals.

[pepper]

OMG i got a dream again before realese -.- I might have more xD
I dreamed about PV. There was only a caps from it in AHS. Like 5-6 screencaps.
The bacround was like in the NEXT LEVEL cover but more darker. Ayu got the fancy wig (Like she was perfoming Sparkle at some Countdown or sth.) and it was "main" Ayu - singing one - but there was two more Ayu's - twins. One of hair like in Sparkle and one with current (Dream ON) hair and they were arguing or something. It was crazy, weird colorful pv ;_; Too bad it won't be true. Bawww.

[AyuWorld]

omg why this album is so sad?

sending mail sounds like a ending theme for anime but yes a bit like Signal and i like it.

Aria is very beautiful! <3333

do it again,omg i cant figure out what is saying >.<

cant wait for this album sounds great so far

[Tasked]

You know.. just maaaaybe, 'do it again' is SUCH a good song, that she'll make a re-cut single out of it and release it with the CDL, which has the same title ^__^

[jbrat2219]

Sad Ayu makes the best music?
