The reason why alan's songs sound like Ayu's is because she has Ayu's old composer (Kazuhito Kikuchi) as a writer AND musical producer and many of her songs are written by him completely. And also, Yuta Nakano and tasuku (both Ayu arrangers) work with her quite often as well.

I believe alan has written about one or two songs on her own and none of them are really all that Ayuish. If something sounds like Ayu, it's the work of Kikuchi/Nakano/tasuku/etc....

I'm glad there's no engrish in her song titles, step you, are you wake up, or heartplace. I find THE introduction funny. It better live up to it's song title and actually be the introduction. cause I have a feeling they're telling us it's the best intro she has yet. hah

first thing i thought of with "montage" was that video for reBIRTH with all the pics of her singles from her asia tour in 2008

and i will admit although i don't like redline, it is a good closing song. if it was anywhere on the album besides the last track, it probably wouldn't fit. I have a feeling this will be the closing song during her concert and they're all gonna sway back and forth holding hands or something. haha if anything i think it would be weird if she didn't perform this song at her concert near the end, if not the last song.

I have a feeling she did that because she already has a song called introduction, and couldn't think of another title!

Reminds me of what happens with Koda Kumi sometimes. With a discography as huge as both Kumi and Ayu I'm not surprised they have similar titles every now and then.

and i just realised that is no title track lol. i know i am slow. so this is another case of MY STORY.

Her having a title track seemed highly unlikely to me given the fact it's called "Rock 'n' Roll Circus." Same with MY STORY.

[Tony G]

I agree, if a song was titled that, be kinda lame.

[waterballoon]

the MY STORY vibes this album is giving me is just making me SO excited~

I got a feeling like since YW/B that the old awesome Ayu is back

I thought that single was so weak (imo). Amazing covers though.

I'd say Ayu has always been awesome, never left, and most people just failed to see that because there was this weird curtain over her gloriousness for 2 years... haha.

[kagami]

I don't think Ayu has ever gone, she's just changed and done different things.

To me she's always been the exciting Ayu.

[y_nathz]

@th : Ayu's style lately *let's say S/S or NL covers maybe* just didn't really get me like what this album did
Anyway I got a feeling I'll be so in love with her this year

[inspire_rmx]

I'm surprise sunset and BALLAD is so early in e album. kind of expected it to be with You were at the end of album. but loving the change =) I'm hoping for just 3 interludes, 1 interlude with lycris, and 11 full songs *finger crossed* hoping that Jump is a full song

[y_nathz]

^ Yeah she broke the "put the ballads as last songs" curse XD YAY ~

@all.night.raver : It was one of the best thing last year though *beside Rule/Sparkle*

[PinkShinigami]

Lady Dynamite? Sound.. interesting

I like this tracklist!

but.. THE Introduction.. that sucks so bad xD

[xLuna&1LOVE]

The titles are amazing!

[Max_ZZZ]

hrmmm she said back to basics right?

so introduction -> becomes THE introduction

i actually like it, it's a nice tie in.

now i believe the whole thing how it might not have lyrics, just some part of the chorus repeated.
so a whole 7(technically 8 lol) new songs, SIIIICK!

[mi|kshake]

Like the names - esp Last Links - but The Introduction is so uninspired and naff.

mi|kshake~
