GUILTY Previews, did you liked them?

[Cloud]

apparently ta members don't get albums before others do.
and i myself ain't a ta member.

[terra]

Well, one think that made me disappointed is that it has 4 interludes for 14 tracked album!!!

I like those interludes though..but it will be better if she done 16 tracks album then

Or she made it like this so that she could easily arrange the Asia Tour 2008 tracklist to be mixed with her old ones???

[truehappiness]

I don't get why Cloud_Honey believed that TeamAyu members get a sneak peek at the album [or even leaks] because mostly TA is just a place to get Ayu blogs, news and newsletters. That's about all a TeamAyu membership gets you.

Cloud probably had his ways of getting it, so let's just wait until it actually does leak for real, instead of questioning him about why he isn't. We'll get it sooner or later.

asongforxx, I didn't mean that you said the interludes were like that, it's just a comment to all the people who are like "WTF OMG 4 INTERLUDES WHY SO MANYEZZZ?" and said those things..

I am not talking about leaks of mp3 or something. I think you know they receive their albums before the release (one week or some days). That's why I saw in AYUNITE, when I was there.

One good exemple is that TA member who received Secret one week before the official release and did photos of the album.

I don't think that was TeamAyu as much as it was the fact that the person got it from the Hong Kong "black market" thing...

Usually the stores keep the goods in the "back room" and aren't allowed to sell until XX.XX.XX, but some stores charge a little more and allow people to buy these releases in advance. I've never heard of a fanclub shipping copies of an album earlier than they're supposed to.. o_o

[tenshi no hane]

I loved the previews ^^ especially (don't) Leave me alone, GUILTY and Mirror.
untitled -for her- doesn't sound very special to me but maybe the full version will convince me or translated lyrics

[cloud♥honey]

But he/she payed for having the album.

Exactly. You have to pay in order to get the stuff early. TeamAyu doesn't offer "early membership albums" as far as I know. It's probably just a coincidence that the person in question is also a TeamAyu member [although I don't know how they would be unless they have a connection in Japan..]

[cloud♥honey]

It sounds strange to me. Well, I will look at old topics about Secret photos in AYUNITE (oops XD) for see it.

[truehappiness]

All the Secret threads got deleted from there. Anything from November onward is gone [December is fine]~

We lost the complete Secret interview translations too! :<

[ll moments ll]

i definitely like how personal this album's going to be. i'm gonna go crazy-Freud over this album, for sure. as for the previews themselves, i guess they're okay. i was more crazy about Secret's previews since we kinda didn't know what Ayu was going to give us. but i think i'll love Marionette & GUILTY the best.

[freedreamer]

As i have said i was VERY VERY hyped for this album, its sounding pretty good for now...the songs have this new sound, which is surprising...

Mirror: WOW! its really unique!! the marching feel and the beats....o mannnn..i too wished it were a full song.....damnn

(don't) Leave me alone: VERY GD! lovin it already....

GUILTY: i cant really feel this one...and yea, it feels (m)u-ish...but thats ok...i just hope that it might end off rather differently later....

Marionette -prelude-: spooky!!! its niceeee

Marionette: LOVE IT!!! its DIFFERENT...and pretty cool atually...do i hear orchestra rock again??? hehe

The Judgement Day: well...ok...though...i really tot it would be a full song :S

MY ALL: REFRESHING OMG...i love this song!!!!

reBiRTH: very Kaleidoscope/LABYRINTH...its ok....

untitled ~for her~: nice ballad...the chorus reminds me of Secret somehow...the opening didnt sound very sad..in fact, i tot for once Ayu is going to end the album off with an uplifting ballad...but the chorus turned out rather...sad..

[dayumi]

I love the album tracks so far!! but why there are 4 interludes? btw the interludes are not bad actually, it really good!
Mirror is really amazing!! I love love it!

[Seishou]

IT'S JUST PERFECT.

I loved it all it's wonderful, ayu is GREAT ;D. But better now!!!

[Huaka]

All of them sound great, much better than Secret. I'm so excited! Can't wait for the album to release and my boyfriends gets back from Japan with it. Musn't listen to the album when it leaks or watch the PVs... >.<.

[freedreamer]

her rock songs just keep getting wilder and cooler for me....

GAME (some syth voice) =>
About You (very fast chorus) =>
alterna (new feel) =>
1 LOVE (the part at the end of the chorus..the bridge interlude) =>
kiss o' kill (the organ) =>
talkin' 2 myself/decision (the orchestra+rock) =>
(don't) Leave me alone (some very cool beats here, really makes me wanna move)

thats why i look forward to her rock...

you forgot one "Because of You"
that's the start of all the whole "dark ayu"
I love ayu's rock

[Seishou]

Now I can say...
.Mirror is good. Specially the instrumental.
.The second((don't) Leave me alone )'s intrumental is perfect...GREAT ;D 5/5
.GUILTY is quite awesome...something is strange...just a preview...Ill wait for more...I like her vocal! 4/5
.Marionette's prelude is great. This time I liked preludes. The song looks awesome. I love heavy songs. If its the truth that they tell... 4/5
.Judgement's day is scary. The instrumental reminds me of apocalypse... 3/5
.Glitter...Ya know! 5/5
.MY ALL reminds me of summer"ish" songs... 4/5
.rebirth is good...anotha prelude!!!
.Untitled is great even if it has no title ;D I loved 5/5

Overall: Loved instrumentals, preludes are ok, very nice album, 4/5 ;D

[[taskin.ayu]]

Even though many found that glitter is out of place, and I thought it would be too, it seems to be.. quite in place to me. XDD It's like the gloom and doom at the start of the album, and then at the end of the tunnel comes the happiness again. "I still believe in love."

[truehappiness]

Yeah, kinda like that.

"Boo, I hate life!"

and then she realizes that she doesn't and that's where her glitter and "her ALL" comes from. This triggers a sort of "rebirth" in her so then she rethinks things and reflects on why she was the way she is in the "dedication ballad [as it seems to be..]" at the end.
