in the official website, it is listed as my name's WOMEN

and i think happy ending will be a pop song, a bit like gretful days..

as for honey...i just hope it has no resemblance to mariah carey's honey song

*excited* ^_^ Although I must say some of these styles are more like a style any other jpop singer would use, I love ALL the songs! because I know the lyrics will rock! =D

Sorry to say, but from the samples, it sounds really bad. The only reason I'm buying it is to get Moments and CAROLS, and buying the album (OS CD only) is cheaper than buying the two singles...

If I had to rate it with just the sample album tracks I'd give it maybe a 5/10 at the highest...

Catcher in the Light and Kaleidoscope, both interludes, were the only decent sounding songs. My name's WOMAN (WOMEN, who cares?) sounded better in the CM than in the sample...

Better than RAINBOW as well as the songs on Memorial Address ^.^;; I think all the songs on MY STORY are solid

I also poorly conducted my way through all of the previews... all songs so far except for Kaleidoscope and Humming 7/4 are in 4/4 time. Kaleidoscope seems to be in 3/4 time, and Humming 7/4 starts off into a very fast 4/4 time but when it goes into the heavy rock part it changes time to... I don't know what! But it breaks from 4/4! Sorry, I have very very basic conducting skills

From the previews, the only thing I'm feeling is.
> RAINBOW (The preview for 'Real me' and 'Heartplace' sounded REALLY bad. XP)
< Memorial Address

None of the songs make me go "I can't wait for the full version of this song!". Which is sad.

One thing that irritates me deeply are the previews for About You. I don't think the chorus is all that exceptional but there is this guitar that always starts playing the moment the song is cut and I keep on wondering how that part will sound but they ALWAYS cut it when that part will begin. LOL Now I'm eager to listen to the whole song just to listen to that part.

Overall, it sounds good. I thought towards the end the tracks seemed weak, and then the last two tracks were better. I'm not sure about the first track, will wait to hear the full version before I decide about that one, and the one track I know I don't like is Honey - it sounds worse than Greatful days, INSPIRE and Angel's Song.

I really like this album! The songs are really nice! I think it IS better than RAINBOW (which I really liked)...

01. Catcher In The Light - a nice intro, just like "everlasting dream" on RAINBOW

02. About You - nice song, i am really looking forward this one, the preview has a part of the verse that was not included in the CM and that's good

03. GAME - no comment needed, the song is well known.

04. my name's WOMEN - great, just great! I think it's my fav in this album! Sound so much better than in the CM! And the intro in the preview is just super! I'm REALLY looking forward this one!

05. WONDERLAND - i don't like the first interlude... CREA's back... but is it such a good thing? Besides that I don't like it and can't find it matching the whole album... it would be better if this track was not included...

06. Liar - really good. From the new songs that we have not heard before in any CMs this one is my fav.

07. HOPE or PAIN - a nice ballad (?) with sad lyrics - I want it!

08. HAPPY ENDING - ballad! ballad! i just can't wait to hear this song in full version while hugging my boyfriend... such a nice song...

09. Moments - I still like it so much! A great song!

10. walking proud - another song that I really want to hear in full version! My boyfriend says it's his fav in this album!

11. CAROLS - known from the single

12. Kaleidoscope - beautiful interlude! very ayuish!

13. INSPIRE - I'm a fan of this song from when it was released. I don't understand why most people dislike it. My not-ayu-fans friends say it's really nice and that they like it

14. HONEY - what can I say? ANGEL'S SONG meets Greatful days... might be fun, the only thing that bothers me is the "my honey" part at the beggining

15. Replace - don't know why but it reminds me of WE WISH that I really like! Very nice, happy, popish song!

16. winding road - nice melody... a ballad? a popish song? I don't really know

17. Humming 7/4 - worst song in my opinion.... really sounds to much like "+" from RAINBOW... I don't like it.... and the "everybody jump, everybody go" part... it reminds me of TRF which I dislike....

Yeah, I'm alot more excited by the verses and think I'll be satisfied much more by those. I find alot of her recent songs have better verses than choruses nowadays. =/

The line in 'About you' right before the chorus starts sounds pretty good to me too.

i think most of the titles are NOT good i.e Catcher In The Light, Liar, HOPE or PAIN, HAPPY ENDING, HONEY, Replace, winding road


ayu should think again before releasing song titles
i hope the songs are better than their names
