Not only the echo, but also the sound effects (like when the camera came out of the door/slit), and what sounded like a whale when her shoe came out :0 <-- not very good at describing things. The preview sounds kinda weak, compared to the CM, which sounds much better :3

And with Walking Proud's CM version, it seems that her voice was sharper and clearer, and in the preview her voice is getting drowned out by the acoustics and such.

i love you, newboy/girl. o_o





-humming 7/4 sounds like independant meets because of you. o_o everybody go! everybody jump!

-my name's women sounded so much better in teh cm!

-wonderland does not go with teh flow of the cd imo. in the middle of fast songs is a little melodic xylophone beat? ummm.

-about you's chorus doesnt seem to fit the verse from the preview

-catcher in the light sounds like an intro to me.

-replace, liar, hope and pain, and happy ending sound great!

imo, overall the album was much "pop"-er than usual. the whole first chunk of the album is extremely good, but the last 5 or so songs arent sparking anything. maybe ill have to listen to the whole album. i can not wait!!!!

[amiamimon]

[kristen]

Yeah, I noticed that too. To me, the first 1/3 of the album reminds me more of I Am, then Duty in the middle, and Rainbow for the last 1/3. A nice combination I think.

I can't listen to the songs!! (T_T) I guess something is missing here...

They need to be played using Windows Media Player I believe. (or something else that can play .asx files.)

[ll moments ll]

these sound promising!

thanks!

[FancySN]

some of those songs sound kind of bland, but I'm sure I'll get used to them and start to like them. I'm so excited about these previews!

[JinHamasaki]

I can't listen....I can't listen.

I just fell into temptation.

[Ayu_desu]

there aren't many ballads... she should include ken shima to arrange some orchestral songs...

umm one of the songs sounds just like trauma (or one of the songs she does dancing to in concerts) ....

humming 7/4 sounds like indepentend .. thanks to jerms for pointing that out ...

what crap fillers ... that's all I can think at this moment in time :S

Does not! I think it sounds like flower garden

[ayuchanfan]

holy ****, is this real. i feel liek crying

[Catzi]

These are good. I thought "humming" would be a slow song or something, guess I was wrong.

[hanabiwings]

Very pretty songs. I like LIAR, HAPPY ENDING, and About You very much. But they all sound very different from her normal stuff. I am so excited as this seems like a new direction for the artist. It sounds like someone totally different, which is what I think will keep Ayu vital and in the public eye. No one likes the same thing over and over again. Only artists that reinvent themselves stay strong (Amuro, hitomi, etc.)

"what crap fillers ... that's all I can think at this moment in time"

Don't know what you're talking about. Sure some songs are better than others, but I don't think anything I've heard is crap.

Me too. I think by the previews I liked all songs except the humming one. Kaleidoscope as I had imagined, is a typical H/\L with H/\LNA song ahahah I knew it would sound like that.
About the CMs stuff, nah, the previews sound much much better than the CMs, and in my name's WOMEN I actually didn't find any tempo difference
Catcher In The Light sounds pretty different from a typical ayu song...I wonder if she got some lessons with "hitomi" LOL
I really loved Liar! I can't wait to listen to this album as a whole. about some of the songs being fillers: I honestly haven't seem one JPOP artist who has not put fillers in their album this year: ELT, Ayaka Hirahara, BoA, Koda Kumi, hitomi, tokyo jihen, ai otsuka...all made albums full of fillers and forgettable songs. I actually think MY STORY has a lot of different/unique songs.
