I'm so in love with the song "Remember you". The violin at the back has some "japanese vibe" and the way she sings it really pleases me. Ok nothing new here but I think it's a quite good mid tempo ballad. Like "Today".

I didn't expect to like this album as much as I did! Really solid comeback from Ayu
Btw, did anyone catch the "Behind The Mask" sample on "MASK"?
I didn't notice at first (as if the nod on the title wasn't so obvious lol), but then I listened to the verses a couple of times and something clicked in my head. It's a YMO sample!

"Remember you" (the song) is sooo good. I am listening to it non stop. I am pretty sure she's really hurt by the recent betrayals from some "friends or dancers". I hope Ayu can move on from it soon.

She looked extremely cute during the live stream. I love drama, so the stream did deliver in that sense, haha.

I did not expected much from this album but it's surprisingly amazing! (NOT)Remember you and Remember you are my fav from the album. This one becomes my fav album after 'Love songs' (yes, it means I don't like any of her album for 13 years).

im so excited, i didnt know that my love towards her is still so big. i fell in love with that album even though i do not really follow herstuff from 2020 onwards.

here is my rating

nonfiction 7/10 it grew a lot on me. I think her tv performances helped me a lot to get used to its unusual ayu song.

not remember you 5/10 i admire songs like these but i dont think it turned about really good. it doesnt bother me though

dreamed a dream 7/10 i truely believe this is a song in the category amazing in live. it reminds me on feel the love a lot actually.

23rd monster 10/10 wow - i think this is what ayu can do best - this song is just perfect for me

summer again 9.5/10 - i love that she used the sample of this popular song i forgot the name. i reallllly enjoy it.

ray of truth - its so sad that this isnt a song. the title is so deep.

remember you 10/10 - my absolut favorite. i immediately fell in love with that song. its not a power ballad but it is a dark and meaningfull ballad that wont get boring. thats also a perfect song and shows the second side of ayu which i think she masters perfectly. 23rd monster and remember you are for me, who is a fan since 2009 types of songs that she does the best.

ohia no ki 7/10 - deep meaning and i love that. it gets still a little bit boring but it does fit the vibe.

haru yo koi 10/10 - i loved it, the vibe of it, the visuals - everything. mas-ter-piece

taskinsion -

mask 8/10 very unusual upbeat song - sometimes i feel the song and other days i feel like wow this is too much. lol

vibees ?/10 vvveeeryy unusual sound- i like it but i have to get used to it. id assume itll get a 7,8 dependent on how it will grow on me

just the way you are - 6/10 its a ballad. not more


i reallly love this release. its great.

I am obsessed with (NOT) Remember you. The evil twin of EnergizE is so good, really want to see more live performances of it.

I loved the new album, the new tracks are amazing. Btw, it was like a huge throwback when the interludes start playing, I really missed how they divide the album in sections.

Btw, these pictures are absolutely DOPE. That outfit and her pose is marvelous. Album covers worthy. Also, I don't know if it's because of the colors or the background, but it gives me retro vibes at the same time.

I think it's a masterpiece. Don't know why, maybe because of my personal situation right now, but this song makes me cry.

The lyrics are just... mature, it tells me so much about my personal life.

This is the ayu I love the most.

I think if the album had come out all at once like she did with M(A)DE IN JAPAN, it would be considered one of her best albums.

Unfortunately, we've had too much time to go through each song and too little anticipation. But looking at the album as a whole, it's a very cohesive and solid piece of work.

"Remember you" is one of her best songs. It's a very strong album & I can't wait to share my thoughts soon. I don't care too much about the amount of singles (it's common in JPop, esp with digital singles + I'm a Hikki fan sooo), at the end of the day, the 4 new tracks + 2 interludes are very good and the album works great as a whole.
