I think nowadays people, especially in fashion industry, tend to use real hair. I believe those lip hair styles are all hair extension. If the lip hair is actually from the model, then she must have really long hair (like... hair down to the knees at least?), and not to mention the heaviness..

These are all wigs/hairpieces. Usually hair shows are the ones that actually style the client's/model's hair as opposed to using wigs, I think.

So Slt is really a swing pop number

At first I was wtf? **** it's awful!

But then when it proceeded it realy started to sound good! (and really catchy) I'm glad ayu could turn a modern groovy style right!

The previews sound promising so far.

None of these songs really sound like anything else Ayu's done before.

They really sound different from her other songs.. all I can really tell you is her voice is very high pitched/cute sounding in SLT (think HONEY vocals, that's what they reminded me of)

Sexy little things imo is "greater than the sum of its parts"... individually, any of the pieces of the song would normally be weird, but when they're all brought together, it just works.

honestly if no one can compare them... that's a bit scary and exciting LOL

hrmmm in terms of the interlude question-

so far on the album we have...
2 upbeat happy songs - Slt and Sunrise
6(7) ballads - Sunset, BALLAD, You were..., and Last Links im pretty sure cause it follows BALLAD and for me i say Dlb is one but some disagree, then RED LINE
2 rock tracks - Microphone and Lady Dynamite
rock tracks - Lady Dynamite
so she has 2 rock, 2 happy, and 7, SEVEN, 7 ballads. the fock? LOL even if you debate and insist one or two ballads aren't ballads still then that 5 - 2 ratio is a bit shocking! makes me really think the intro can't possibly have it's own lyrics

from montage, Jump!, and meaning of Love, as much as I'd like meaning of Love to be a full song I think Jump! is the best candidate for full song potential atm

omg, count down is a full song! I'm really liking it. The vibe reminds me of a (miss)understood/It was or Memorial Address type song, but executed in a completly different way. The jarring guitars in the chorus add such a nice touch. Do I hear DJ scratching in the song? Something I thought I'd never hear from her.

Sexy little things is nothing like I expected! I don't even know how to describe it. Its just.. different. And so good. It still has an electro vibe like I thought it would, but its not a dance song at all. Just a lot of fun. Like the "energize" or "honey" of the album. But once again, so totally different from anything else she's done. I can't imagine a PV to this song! Its going to be really interesting, really theatrical I think.

Lady Dynamite, like the PV hints, is electropop sounding with some nice guitar riffage. But it has this pop gleam over it that NEXT LEVEL's electro songs didn't have. I can't judge much else because I think this is the worst rip of the three.

--------
I'm so totally surprised at how different her sound is from these three songs. This is a complete 180 on what I thought this album would sound like. I have no idea what to expect anymore, but I can't wait to find out.

Won't listen to the samples anymore, once is enough, otherwise you ruin the songs with horrible bad quality-ness.

So how many interludes does this album have now? Without count down being one, I'm leaning towards only 3 now (THE introduction, montage or jump and meaning of love)

I truly hope what you say is correct . Through the comments I've already pictured Sexy little things as a "Ladies Night~another nite~ meets Shiina Ringo" song (someone mentioned ayu sounds like shiina ringo in this song rite?). I just can't place her voice in Honey (not the song, the vocal she used) into Slt pv.

This is getting my nerve... I would love to hear the preview, but I know that waiting till release is a lot more fun. So I'll wait. It's just three more weeks, and I can listen to the album from the beginning to the end.

Found the preview of Sexy little things on Youtube. Though it seems to be missing the sound.

Three letters: WOW!!
countdown: sounds good yet a bit boring, hope it's not a (miss)understood/It was.../GUILTY part 154247!
Lady awesomeness: a bit repetitive but god it sounds so good!!
Sexy little song: I can't believe what I've just heard! *****ng *****!! It is so... GOOD!

Quote:
SLT reminds me of Pink Panther or some cartoons XDD
I know!!! When I listened to it it made me think of Scooby doo (dunno why haha)! Sounds so vintage in a good way!
She also sounds a bit like Shiina Ringo as someone said earlier! So great!
I really don't want to have more faith in this album than in the last 3 ones which turned out to be really disappointing and quite unoriginal, so I won't be that bitter this time... But oh jesus! It seems that I finally got an album which can stand up next to (m)u!!
