Great! Ayu still is #1 and the CD-only version is going up.

It's kind of noteworthy that there's been something weird going on with the last three albums.

(miss)understood used Sweetbox songs.
Secret was originally supposed to be a mini-album, but then some songs were rushed and/or recycled and it was BAM! a full album.
GUILTY has (only?) 10 full songs and 4 interludes.

It's like album tracks are left to the sidelines or whatever.

GEO of sweetbox compositions you mean, and there were just 6 and not 16 =P
ayu liked the compositions so she wanted to use them in her own songs, I don't see anything bad about it. It's still enough original since she used her own lyrics and even renamed 2 and she found them fit into the album.

[elepop]

Those GEO songs were so bad.

^They are not...you have to get use to them. This is coming from a person who use to disliked them too!

[jon_the_d]

no they were not....

big love.

16 [total songs] - 6 [Sweetbox] - 2 [interludes] = 8 songs.
That just screams, "OMG I NEED SONGS. *listens to random no-name CD* AH, THIS WILL DO, I SUPPOSE. NOW I NEED THEM TO GIVE THE SONGS TO ME! ME~! MEEEE!!"

Pride is an example for me. Though rainy day and Ladies Night have been awesome since the first listen.

[stickyrice]

I loved the GEO songs just because it was different for ayu. The only song I couldn't tolerate was Beautiful Day... that song was so lame. but the rest were <3 Ladies Night, rainy day, Pride, even Bold & Delicious!

Agreed on Beautiful Day That and In The Corner, though slightly listenable, were

Spoiler:

Ummm, no, ayu wrote lyrics for them, they have different arrangements as well, that's a lot of work as it is =P

[*Petit*]

Yes, a couple of them are listenable, but IMO it doesen't change the fact that it's a very different move for ayu musically. Her versions weren't that much different musically and the sweetbox album was released almost simultaneously.

I do agree that (m) u and Secret were different in their own manner, no matter if the songs are "good" or not. Lots of confusion going on with Secret.

[Luv ~Venus~]

Sweetbox's Bold And Delicious was good but it was missing and that something was found in Ayumi's Bold&Delicious. Ayu's version was more lively and catchy. I do perfer Sweetbox's Pride over Ayumi's Pride. Ayumi's version for that song made me go, "Errr....!"

[UHPlus]

'In the corner' is one of my favorite song in (miss)understood !! >_<

No offense, but that sounds really rude. We're in a ayu forum. If you want to say sth bad about her, please go to an anti-ayu forum.
And about the songs, i think she made an amazing work. If we were to count how many artists have made covers we wouldn't finish. And they aren't even covers, cause she wrote lyrics for them and the arrangement is different
