...What's edgy about an album of the usual commercial ballads and a couple 90s anime songs? Serious question: do you know what "edgy" means?

"Edgy" isn't a word you can apply to an album of commercial crowd-pleaser ballads, period.

I was wondering what you meant by "edgy" too. I mean, WARNING could be described that way...somewhat. But that's it.

Right, and WARNING is still stretching it since it's pretty much business as usual as far as Ayu rock songs go lol

What does "edgy" mean anyway? Some of us aren't native english speakers so we might throw words we don't perfectly know the meaning of.

"Edgy" isn't a subjective quality. I mean, it is to a small extent, but that's just it: it's a small extent, NOT one that stretches to calling something as commercial as an album full of crowd-pleasing ballads "edgy." Words have definitions and meanings for a reason. You can't just pick a random word out of a hat and apply it to whatever you want and then claim "that's just because it's my opinion!" That'd be like saying the sky is purple because you're color blind and can't tell the difference.

The album isn't edgy by any legitimate meaning of the word.

come on ! This album has 4 ballads out of 10 songs stop to call it "a full of crowd-pleasing ballads"... We know you like Western commercial music but what you call 90's anime songs is much more edgier than Terminal, Lelio or anything related.
However, I agree "Edgier" was not the good word to describe this album !

Discussion is good, jumping on anything people say to tear it to pieces isn't. If someone wants to correct someone else's use of a word, take it to PM... keep this thread about the new album, not dissecting someone's English usage.

I don't think A ONE sounds edgy so far neither, lyrically wise it's strong tho. But complaining about too many ballads on an Ayu album? Lmao seriously.

Uh...

I'm sorry, Koumori, but that's just a little draconian of you lmao. This isn't even remotely off topic. The discussion of whether the album is edgy or not is still discussion about the album. The definition of the word had to be brought up since some members here don't know it, and one even asked. It's not about dissecting someone's English usage just to be an ass, it's about explaining why the album isn't edgy. If we aren't allowed to discuss that in public, then that's pretty fucking sad.

I don't have big expectations about the covers: it will be just her face (like on many covers before).

PS. If someone is looking for EDGY album than go and try last Kuu album which just comes out.

A ONE isn't really 'edgy' but it's not 'safe'?

It's like a kitty with fangs. It has a bite to it. It's certainly edgier than a LOVE again or Love songs, but I'd say Colours or Rock'n'Roll Circus were less fluffy than A ONE will end up being due to the ballads.

If A ONE have a strong concept it would be nice a box as big as PQ's

I'm gonna have to agree to disagree with you about the 4 ballad thing, because Last minute and Out of control fall on the ballad scale for me. That puts it at 6 out of 10.

I never brought up Colours, but in terms of Japanese pop, sadly it is "edgier" than A ONE is.
