[thinkingoutloud89]

not listening to the singles is still my best tip for ya. Even if ou gotta wait 2 years.

Albums is pretty solid. Just really don't like Jtwya.

The album stayed at #6 on its 3rd day! If all goes well, "Remember you" should debut at #4.

I’m so in love with this album. The lyrics have this feeling of “reflections from a grown woman”, she sings about illusions, self-esteem, the flow of time, authenticity… there is no “I’m in love with this guy” song, so she sings about many shapes of love…
“Remember you” song, although the arrangement is not spectacular, the way she sings and the lyrics resonates with me deeply, I love it.

The more I listen to the album, the I love it! I'm really happy with this project <3

Wow thanks I was waiting for making videos

Finally listened to the album in full! Overall the album was FULL to me. None of the songs felt like filler songs I want to skip.

1. (NOT) Remember you - epic. Not a fan of it at CDL, but it grew on me.
2. Remember you - a sincere song. Didn't mind the melody of it. I wonder who is she trying to remember.
3. VIBEES - catchy tune. Love it! Lyrics seem interesting.
4. Just the way you are - Even though I get the message behind this song, first impression of PV was "pls tell me this is not real". But LOVE LOVE the song!
5. ray of truth and taskinson - perfection.
6. Nonfiction - Yohanne Simon remix - No idea why this song is in the album, and placed as track 13.

By the time the album is released on 25 Jan, we technically only have 3 new songs and 2 interludes to binge on. Seem short, but yes it is a very strong album IMO.

Re-arranged the tracks sequence for fun. Start with “(Not) Remember you” and end off with “Remember you”. Removed “Nonfiction - Yohanne Simon Remix” as I find it doesn’t belong in the album but the remix itself is great, imo. Spotify link as below.

Why are the dancers in the making off blurred? Did I miss anything?

[Katsuyuki012]

"Remember you" is #8 today. It would've remained at #6 but two new releases entered the top 5. Unfortunately, TXT came in with a massive 180K so Ayu's best shot is #5 now (making it her lowest placing studio album together with Colours).
I know the album was not promoted at all (+ how long she's been in the industry + the state of the Japanese music industry), so things like this are expected to happen at some point, but I still hope she manages to extend her streak of having all her studio albums place within the top 5. Especially since I consider this to be a rather important release.

Chart run so far: 3-6-6-8

He face looks so weird at 4:44, as if some program / filter was changing it in real time, am I the only one seeing it?

I mean the quality is terrible, so impossible to tell.

Aren't these the faces blurred of those who are (allegedly) involved the real estate scam? Also, I believe NOT remember you kinda referred to this drama. Anyone, please correct me if I am talking nonsense here.

But I wanna say that I am in love with the album. It sounds solid, good. I was never really fond of Ohia, other than it is a cute song for her baby. But dayum, it blends so well in the album, that I started to love it again.

agree with the remix but not a big fan of your tracklist. although I do get it, its always a bad idea to divide to album in upbeat and ballad and put all the ballads at the end.

Really cool album! I think One Night Carnival would have been a great last song for this album, after Just the way you are.

thank you for the link! the making-ofs have a narrator now and it feels (more) like a cohesive documentary.

and yeah, I noticed that the blurred faces aren't only the dancers' but also someone who appeared to be her assistant? this person is seen next to her (often holding her hand) in many scenes.

ayu must be really hurt by these scams.
