It seems like the new songs that will have singing are "rainy day," "Beautiful Day," "Criminal," "Ladies Night," "(miss) understood," and "In The Corner."
- "Beautiful Day" is a song that asks you what you think is a "magnificent day" and a "beautiful day" and such...and whether you've found it or not.
- "Criminal" is not about the crimes committed that violate the law. She's referring to the minute "crimes" that people make everyday in their own lives...and it's a song about facing them.
- "rainy day" is a pretty and cute song. Her singing style in this song is "as if I'm singing in a voice that only the most important person in my life can hear." There's a GEO of SWEETBOX style to it. Also, when you hear it, you'll think "it's over already? that was the chorus?"
- "Ladies Night" is a song that will get people lively in concerts.

Cute ballad???...Nah, doubt so...It's a game song...I think the song will be quite short so maybe there IS a secret track...

Thanks for the info...Hope someone can give a more detailed wan thou...*waits anxiously*

Rainy Day can't be a song like HONEY. I think it will be like Who... or sum touching song.

[ruixiong89]

Yup ... but we won't know till the song is released! Still yup, rainy day better be a ballad!

Depend on You was for a game. It wasn't a ballad, but it was quite cute.

I hope Criminal sounds like Pride!

[ImpactBreaker]

Guys this is just a translation, I think you're getting the term "cute" way too serious, specially because if you take the context of the rest of the text, it sounds more like she meant it will be a "beautiful ballad", probably something like HEAVEN or walking proud. I doubt it will be like HONEY, the description doesn't even sound like it. Plus a title "rainy day' doesn't even suit with the term "cute" as if it were to be an all cutesy thing. If the title had been Umbrella or Parasol, but it isn't LOL
And please, I really hope there will only be one Pride in all of ayu's discography, I liked the song as a whole (preferred the verses though) but no one deserves a chorus like that again LOL

[Rebirthia]

thank you to all who contributed in the translations ^^

i hope there's no HONEY nor PEANUT BUTTER in (miss)understood album ...hahaha

i think rainy day will be like an easy ballad..

Startin' might be the hidden track...??

[Paper Bear]

I don't think there will be a hidden track. If there were, I think they would mention something about it. I might be wrong though.

[evolution105]

A hidden track is ment to be hidden and for us to not know about it. I don't see why they would mention it.

note: don't read this like "i'm right and you're wrong" kinda thing.

well then it wouldn't be hidden, lol.

i dunno though, would they put a song called "startin'" as the last track on a cd? that'd be funny.

It's sort of like Namie's song No, right after it ended Pt.2 of it started and that's the only way you'll know if startin's a hidden track is if you listen to the whole song rainy day and wait a while after it, and if the cd stops obviously startin's not on there.

[MedJohn]

Some CDs have hidden tracks at the beginning
when ur CD player starts at track 1, u can reverse to before track 1

[alterna]

Thanks for the translations everyone! Sounds like this album is gonna be sweet!

Whoa... what's with all of the "HONEY" haters?? Do you guys really not like that song? I think it's nice... it's not her best by far, but no way is it bad. I wouldn't mind seeing another song like it.

[AyuGAME]

IMO there shoulden't have been any "GEO" in ayu's discography. Pride is ok, pretty nice, but If she's continuing down the road of gospel and "funk", I don't think I'll continue buying her albums.

I wonder what type of songs that will be dominating this album. Memorial address had "everything", while MY STORY was dominated by semislow pop/rock balladsy stuff.

[Ryoko]

I think on this album GEO of SWEETBOX only composed Pride and Bold&Delicious. Everything else is by someone else.

The title of "rainy day" completely eliminates any thought of it sounding cute like "HONEY" And you have to remember, Ayu said she threw HONEY together at the last moment, and she also said she was embarassed by it! It doesn't sound like rainy day would be an embarassing song for Ayu.

And I agree with Impact, there should only be one Pride in all of her discography. I certainly hope that criminal does not sound like it. I hope criminal is a dark song. Like from the I am... era or something.

I doubt she will continue down the road of gospel and funk. You have to remember, Ayu's doing what she wants to do now.

I think this album will have a lot of variety, thought probably more rock songs than anything.

[elepop]

I think we can guess if the song is gonna be a ballad, rock or up-best by where it's place in the album's tracklist:

【CD】

01. Bold&Delicious (up-beat)
02. STEP you (up-beat)
03. Ladies Night (then, probably up-beat)
04. is this LOVE? (rock)
05. (miss)understood (then, probably rock)
06. alterna (rock)
07. In The Corner (then, probably rock)
08. tasking (interlude)
09. criminal (then, probably a ballad)
10. Pride (ballad)
11. Will (ballad)
12. HEAVEN (ballad)
13. Are You Wake Up? (interlude)
14. fairyland (up-beat)
15. Beautiful Day (then, probably up-beat)
16. rainy day (then, probably a ballad)
