Me toooooooo! You know, I think watching all these PVs and listening to all these leaks won't spoil my appetite for this album because I'm still so incredibly hungry for it

I just watched Lady Dynamite - I like it! It's a lot better than I thought it would be when I heard the preview <3

One thing though, didn't the dancers wear those same outfits/similar ones in my name's WOMEN & Rule? XD

I don't understand how so many people can hate "Sunrise" as a song. It's almost undoubtedly one of her most advanced and futuristic yet upbeat happy songs ever.

It's production is PERFECT.
I don't get all the hate. Everyone loves Sparkle but hates this.

Sparkle's electronic and amazing, with a neat PV to accompany it. Sunrise has none of those..to me it sounds like it's been done before, recycled if you will. Generally speaking though, all "winter" and "summer" sounding songs are too similar and unoriginal.

I guess they are different xD..same in concept though.

Wow...Sexy little things PV is great....I like it for what it is....something weird and artistic...and very different for Ayu. It's not my taste though but at least she's really branching out here. The song is ok...not what I expected but then again...so wasn't the PV. I can see where the Gaga comparisons come from but honestly Ayu's been doing these weird PVs since a long way back in her career. Yeah the opening kinda freaked me out. Lady Dynamite....you know...still another great PV. I just don't like the song again....Microphone, SLT, and Lady Dynamite all had the best Ayu PV's I think in a while....but the songs aren't that....powerful? They're not bad....they just feel quickly made maybe....like unfinished. I don't know. I do think Don't Look Back judging only by the preview (havent seen the full)....Mixed feelings overall. Perhaps some obscure album track will become my favorite.

I think DLB is the "Sparkle" of this album in the sense that "I can't believe how amazing this song is wtf!" But I find DLB better than Sparkle in creativity and PV concept.

I find Ayu's best and most original songs to be her album tracks, as this album proves so perfectly.

I think Sunrise is just too long and the arrangement is all wrong for my taste. I also really hate the drums in it. I do like the song overall but I just wish it was on NEXT LEVEL instead of R'n'R Circus.

For some reason, half this album gives me NEXT LEVEL vibes and the other half gives me ASFXX vibes which is really... strange.

I was just able to see DLB, SLT and LD now.

I liked the SLT PV for the most part. The song is very catchy, somewhat different, and the PV was cute-creepy.

DLB was very powerful. I loved every bit of it, and now I'm starting to wonder if Ayu really has breakdowns like that about her past?

So, Kazuyoshi did LD? I'm extremely disappointed in the PV. I wish she would have removed Kazuyoshi completely from any of the 4 PVs that we've seen, or atleast had him not direct LD. I loved the song name and was hoping for a PV that was... well, dynamite.

Anyway, so far so good for the most part. I'm still super annoyed the LD wasn't good. It was... horrible. Like SS said, it was poorly put together. When I listen to LD without seeing the PV, I like the song alot. When I turn to the PV, I'm a mixture of:

(edited to change things around)

I'm weird because I actually love Sunrise and don't like Sparkle. I can barely stand Sunset though.

Maybe this album takes samples from each song from each era in her career?! That would explain the vibes you feel.

You're not weird, baby. Just the brains of this outfit LOL.

I like both. I especially fell in love with Sunrise after seeing her perform it! So much energy

tbh, I like Sunrise more then Sparkle myself actually, you're not alone

I'm one of the VERY few people who didn't really see anything special in Sparkle.

The LD PV isn't as good as the others - but it's still not a Curtain call PV XD

I'm being a little lazy, but the most obvious...?

Micro - GUILTY
SLT - NL?
DLB - Duty
I hear Last Links is acoustic so I'm thinking MY STORY?


I dunno any ideas on the rest?

Ah! Love me some CC PV!!!!
LOL I'd say, it's not as good as the others, but it isn't a PV from ASFXX.

~Era/song/"feeling" sampling~

Feel free to fill in the blanks.

Curtain call's PV is pretty. IMO, it's a nice and simple PV that doesn't do what MW did, haha.

Didn't you say you wouldn't like it if it were too gay? Not to attack you, but it's REALLY gay, you've been warned LOL. Sorry if I'm mistaken.
