I'm refraining from downloading any others, considering it's only for mumo's app.

My initial reaction was it's quite repetitive (sorry to say haha). It's good, and very different for Ayu. There's a bit of talk-singing as well.
ALREADY?? wow..
And the album covers are still unreleased.

These are soo different from what I was expecting!! I did not expect the "girls just wanna have fun" in XOXO, but after the 3rd time listening to the preview it grew on me. Angel sounds even more western to me than XOXO, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it yet. I LOVE What is forever love, it's giving me Madonna Confessions on a Dance Floor vibes. NOW & 4EVA seems like it's definitely the rock track, the first song I thought of was identity. At first I thought Terminal would be rockish, but that sounds like it will pick up after the preview. Lelio sounds super cool, though I wish I knew what Lelio meant.

These sound so different from Pray and Hello new me, I wonder how she's going to arrange them on the album without interludes. I can't wait for it!! I hope the cover reflects the feel of the dance songs.

Lelio & What is forever love... I'd swear I heard Koda Kumi. There is something with that pitch... I dunno.
I don't hear a 'maintance of the ayumi hamasaki sound' at all. It's so different.

But, I like the previews, this is going to be a great album. It's so new and refreshing, can't stop loving it.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who was jarred at first, but who warmed up to them after a few listens.

It does feel a little bit like Next Level to me as well. Very Ayu songs mixed with very non-Ayu songs.

Now for the cover art...

Wasn't there a song that Ayu was working on with Urata a while ago post-ANother song?

Also, woah, everything sounds great. Some of the English though is a little out there.

the most impressive is XOXO, but it also sounds like the songs on my Spotify playlist. in fact these new previews sound like Calvin Harris and the like.. it's EDM, so what gives.

there's one song, What is forever love.. sounds so cheesy lol I'd probably enjoy it but it sounds like a N' SYNC song or something mixed with EDM sounds

I'm most impressed with her vocals though

I really like Terminal, and NOW & 4EVER sounds nice, very Ayu.

The rest were all kinda... annoying? Her voice was a bit shrill, they needed some grittiness to counter that. Might improve with the full versions and quality though. What is forever love does not need the random dude. It makes it sounds like a random boy band song.

It's definitely going to be an interesting album.

OMG I LISTENED ONE TIME AND I'M STILL HEARING IT IN MY HEAD. THE SONG IS HAUNTING. HI THAR NEW HIT. It's so catchy.

Btw I just noticed Naoya! OMG LOL nice he's back! He sounds good. Everything sounds good. I'm so happy.

So full songs are already purchasable via mu-mo (only for TA right?)
Maybe this is some sort of attempt at promotion?
uhm....
I'm dying to listen to them in full but i want to wait or I'll be already tired when the album comes out officially. I mean, i want to have a title at least.

Terminal seems the likeliest to get skipped over. It tends to be the more interesting tracks sadly that don't get performances.

It's so strange having these previews and no idea what the title of the album is.

Angel is the only preview that sounds absolutely terrible. I like NOW & 4EVA the best. What is forever love sounds like an AAA song and Naoya isn't helping lol. The vocals in Angel and whatever she is saying sounds awful.
