Ayu's album tracks are usually better in general in my opinion. But unlike usual for me, I am hopelessly in love with the crossroad and L singles so I hope the album tracks can measure up! From all the reviews I think they do.

90% chance they will only be poorly upscaled, anyways.

There was CREA, Tetsuya Yukumi, and GEO before, I think. Only CREA actually came close to this sort of domination though.

This might be late for me to say, but...

I kinda feel weird not having a overly happy summer pop wowwowwow/yeahyeahyeah/lalala track (ala glitter/blue bird/sunrise) to listen to for an ayu album!

Didn't Hoshino do like, almost all of A song for xx?

^ Thank U?

Second day of listening to this album and I already love all songs

It's really a strong, cohesive album with interesting tune.

Well, I knew I'm going to say this since... Ayu's music never disappointed me. I'm weird aren't I? There have been some very weak singles in my opinion but it's a different thing about albums. Her albums are always excellent. And even though I'd say that Secret is my least favorite and I don't like it as others, it's still far from being bad and I wished some of my other favorite artists would make as good album.

I don't know where I'll rank Love songs. It's hard to rank every Ayu album

^oh yeah. there's another reason I'm happy to add to the reasons why I love this album. no winter ballads, no summer tunes.

Yeah I agree with you. I ranked Love Songs as my 3rd favorite album =D. My favorite is (miss)understood and my 2nd favorite is Duty =D

I don't think that's weird. Not sure why it would be... IMO it's weirder to say that Ayu disappoints you more often than not, haha.

^then I'm weird. but only because I'll never give up my dream for more ferry corsten, trance, remix type of music. It's hard for me to accept the fact that she'll never give up ballads, even for one album.

lol it's pretty unrealistic to expect any female J-pop artist to not have at least a few ballads in an original album

Lol, I'm telling you right now, she's not gonna do a trance album. Nobody in Asia likes it.

While I think it's a bit unrealistic to think Ayu will ever do an album with no ballads. I'm just... so OVER them... u____u

that's my dream too....


but alas, the remix golden age is long gone, and it's just, not popular anymore there.

But you know what is popular? Sappy ballads and all these medium tempo love pop songs.

Ayu seems very trendy at times...and then other times...she seems way out of the loop...

if they're like MOON, Virgin Road, November, or crossroad I'm not over them. I'm kinda over No way to say/momentum/Days type ballads though. I like ballads I can listen to at anytime, not just winter.

Since the album was release in december I'm guess the tour will start earlier than normal next year.

People were whining for more ballads just about a year ago... haha.

Yeah and now that she gave them ballads, there's a problem. There's always a problem.

So true, complain is the official sport for ayu fans...
