New singles crossroad 9/22 and 「L」 9/29 [VII]

[pepper]

The main thing i am waiting for it's the tracklist. I can see tracklist and curiosly imagine which one is a ballad, and what type are the rest...

That's what really killed R'n'R for me - was making assumptions/predictions/expectations regarding the songs based off of their titles (and PV pics from ViVi).

Sexy little things - Ladies Night meets 1 LOVE
Lady Dynamite - my name's WOMEN meets Sparkle

That's why I really was disappointed.

I see what you mean, didn't someone have the bright idea of saying "Hey! I think all of the lower cased songs on rnrc are interludes." countdown, montage, and meaning of love. when really only montage ended up being the interlude.

Having a triple a side single, with only 2 of the 3 songs getting pvs kind of makes me think of her old days. no song on A got pvs, no song on H got pvs, nor did never ever, audience, or unite. Unless she stated that the 3rd song is getting one but not on the single. When was the last time an a-side didn't get a pv?

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I was totally convinced that countdown was an interlude..

[emi♡]

so glad it wasnt~


@allnightraver: I would have been disappointed too if that's what I wanted! Those sound awesome lol

yes you are totally right! it's just because if she named 2 songs something like "lady dynamite" or "sexy little thing" i could think that they will at least be not ballads or something like crossroad.

Sparkle? But then we got it on Next Level. And of course blossom is getting its own on crossroad but the last ones to never get a PV were the A-sides from}{.

Edit:
So all together there's independent, July 1st, HANABI, A song is born, Unite!, Never Ever, Audience, and all of A.

ASFXX has its generic songs, but the ones that stand out are those that don't sound like typical pop tunes. They're strange, they're interesting -- and each album to follow after that has a slight twist to the typical poptart formula. She dabbles in nearly everything and doesn't really settle for one style or sound. Even her rock tracks can vary.

Why oh WHY anyone would ever want Ayu to dumb herself down to that formula is beyond me. You knew what you were getting into from day one with Ayu, and she's only proven that fact more and more, with different evidence and different ways, with each album she releases.

Thank you so much! Finally someone points it out!!!

They're hardly PVs though. Never Ever was a commercial spot and Unite! was just concert footage.

And that's why I was really happy when the Slt turned out to be something not "Ladies Night meets 1 LOVE" . I'm lucky tho cuz I usually dun have any imaginations of what the songs sound like when I look at the tracklist. I only get assumptions when people say the song sound like -insert one old ayu song-. I wasn't really thrilled when people said Slt sounded like HONEY. HONEY is not a bad song, but it's too cute for my taste. I was so glad that Slt had stronger "personality".

I agree on Unite!, because it was concert footage for like 10 seconds. But NEVER EVER had quite a long one, like 1 minute if I'm right, and it's shot in a studio and all. It leaves quite a strong image, you can't think of NEVER EVER without seeing muddy Ayu singing her lungs out. I consider it a PV.

Omg not me! Lol. HONEY is really poppy and fun. For me it's a stronger song. Sexy little things - the chorus is too awkard. It sounds more like a jingle for a commercial than an actual song. To each their own, but yeah I've since learned to NOT make assumptions (or have I?) Lol.

[truehappiness]

Wow, so I asked Masashi Muto if he was working with Ayu on the new PV and he said yes.

So does this mean we're getting two Masashi Muto PVs and a Takahide Ishii one for crossroad and L?

[Mirrorcle Monster]

That means 4 PVs??.

Well, if you include blossom's, I guess...?

[Picaflor 7/4]

I dislike Honey. too cute, but the classical version is really really good! I'd rather have that version on my story than the original. it beats the original by 100%

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I totally love the original version...i think is lovely.

[Zeke.]

I enjoy it a lot more than some of her more recent album tracks.

[Kazeyomi]

Lol I used to love HONEY when MY STORY comes out. But I do find HONEY just a really cute song now, and yes the Classical version is really good
