The version without the rap is in the downloads section

[AyuGAME]

very strong performance, imo....Be Strong is not an easy song with such a very difficult dynamic...

[TeamAyu2004]

i really love that song!

[Mai82Go]

Hello. Very OT, but maybe you guys can help me? Do you guys have any idea how to create the effect of Kanas hair on the Love Place Cover (going from dark blonde to light blonde?)? I saw the picture and knew I have to recreate that with my hair. I'm just not sure how to do it and my hairdresser is incompetent. ;_;

[Minttulatte]

That Be Strong live was awesome <3

it's called a 'tie and dye' (or ombre hair), any hairdresser should be able to do it as it's been pretty much 'in' for about 2 years now. Check youtube and google, you'll probably find a few tips and maybe tutorials to get that effect

[Mai82Go]

^Thanks so much. Yes, I know that it's been popular for a while. But my hairdresser won't get it, they are pretty stupid and always do the simplest cuts wrong. The colours from Kanas hair here are exactly what I was looking for. Great.

Be Strong at music station



i'm still thinking that Be Strong is a very hard song to sing...fast, dynamic, two times overtune...she did a very good job

[TeamAyu2004]

^ wow, she is promoting the crap out of that song.. lol.

[ayu_ready?]

I can't say the album is bad but I like it the least of her all albums and tracks don't grow at me at all, I already have forgotten many of them, for me SAKURA is still the best song there.

I think for me the album leaves a 'blank' feeling

also, did anyone noticed Kana's image shift from cute aka Popteen type to some MODE (mature classy) style?

[TeamAyu2004]

^ that just means you havent listen to it enough! lol...

I think I have listened to this album... for ages... lol. Every time I go to Starbucks and work on my script or book, I plug this bad boy in and go to town...
Some of the ballads are just amazing. (Watashitachi, Be Strong, Tatoe Donna ni...)
The faster fun tracks are really nice and bopabile (Day 7, Go for it! Fantast and is this love?)
The interlude and outtro are epic..
the only song that doesnt float well with me is Honey... blah.

[TeamAyu2004]

I was just looking at the sales of the album..
I think it's already around 104K... does anyone think it will clear the 200K mark by the end of the week?

[bondingo]

That's one intense key change between the verses and the chorus. She pulls it off really well. I'm always pleasantly surprised by her live vocals. I cancelled my preorder of Love Place, but I'm considering ordering it again because the songs I've heard all seem to be better than I had expected.

[ayu_ready?]

@TeamAyu2004 I have listened to it for 5 times and I've had enough, don't really feel inspired to listen to more, I think

I hope it reaches 200k this week,we need this!

↑
If you don't like the album don't force yourself to listen to it...how lame. And, if you guys don't like her songs...your opinion isn't needed. Thank you!

[TeamAyu2004]

That's a little overkill we are meant to debate and discuss the issues on why you do or dont like the album. I think everything eould be dull if everyone was just like: this abound is amazing, nice takk nice talk, lol.

Love Day 7, FANTASY, is this love?, and Honey! First time hearing SAKURA, I love you? and i like that one too. Funny how my favorites switch so much with Kana. Honey is the one that gets stuck in my head the most so even when I want to listen to another I'm like "well this one is in my head I have to listen to it!"

I don't like the ballads - Watashi-tachi, Be Strong, Tatoe Donna ni...; I feel they are rather boring and annoying most of the time. I get bored of them for some reason?

[Kouyou]

I agree with TeamAyu2004. I didn't find anything ayu_ready? said to be overtly offensive. I like discussing our opinions on here when it's done civilly. It's kind of the point of the site.

I noticed it and I can't lie, I actually kinda like it. She still looks gorgeous to me.

Man! that sucks!
I feel like the ballads is what makes this album so great!
I dont know why, but I think it's just her voice... it fits so well with the slow, beautifully constructed music..
