Yes please! Rock Ayu = Best Ayu.

Complaints about quantity are annoying because there's no logic involved... It's as if Avex and Ayu have this unlimited budget to shell out on an artist way past her peak AND in a shitty sales climate. Has it occurred to anyone that there aren't many new songs because SOMEBODY is paying 5 WORLD-RENOWNED producers for material that, unless there is a huge shift in the opinion of Ayu for the general public, will "flop" anyway by Ayu standards? The ROI on this release probably won't be huge if it sells less than or as
much as LOVE again... yet people still expect her to release maxi-singles and these grand releases as if she still pushes tons of units.

EDIT: and on a side note, I'm wondering if Avex was pinching serious pennies with LOVE again... Everything from the PV's to the arrangements and cheap programming/mixing. I really think there were budgeting issues that quarter, rather than a deliberate intent by the team to make songs that sound like they were created in a Fruity Loops sample library.

^ LOL your post is so accurate. "sound like they were created in a Fruity Loops sample library" That is very true. Great melodies, shitty sound.

But do you really need BIG PRODUCERS for good music? I don't know about that... Some of Ayu's best songs were composed by herself, and even my video game composer who is a student can make better sounding tracks than LOVE again lol.

Oh, that's where he/she gets it from. I wouldn't consider Pray and Hello new me "new tracks" as they are officially released before the album... but I guess so are the other songs... albeit only for TA. Confusing release. Whatever. WHATEVER is a great song. *goes off to listens*

I wish Ayu would promote new album on TV, at least one appearance on Music Station would be nice.

There are lot of her songs I would love to hear with real rock arrangements. And I still hope she will do a lot of kickass songs for a future release, but, I don't think it will please the majority of her fans, then I doubt she will.

Last time I heard a kickass song it was with Love songs, sending mail.
She said we would have a rock song on the new album but there is none.
I really miss her "rock" kickass songs, even though she never do real rock, her "own rock style" is fierce, strong, full of punch.



I'm quite disappointed for the ten tracks thing. I explain, I do not like Feel the love, What is..., Hello..., I don't care for Pray, nor Terminal, I find NOW & 4EVA kinda meh, Merry go round is listenable times to times I guess. So it let me with XOXO, Lelio and Angel. Yet Angel isn't the song I would go on repeat without shouting "shut up"...

I wish the tracklist could be longer and get more songs to listen but yeah.... well I didn't feel her releases since FIVE and for the first time since, I'm curious about her current tour, the PVs, really like some songs, etc... so I think all is good in the end?!

Ayu releases LOVE again (her usual love themed music), everybody hated it. "It's too long, too boring"

Ayu releases COLOURS (kinda different for Ayu release), everybody hated it. "It's too short, too generic" :I

It's like you people can't be pleased huh?

I love this album, and Imma play it non-stop till' the next album~

Of course not all fans are pleased with any release because WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PREFERENCES. It goes to show that ayu appeals to diverse people for different reasons. So GROUP A won't like X release, but GROUP B will. GROUP B will like Y release, and GROUP A won't. That's how it goes.

i think I'm the only one who 'dislike' this album it's too hard to say "dislike" because I always end up liking everything. But well, to be honest I don't think I will be listening to it. I will wait for another one XD

I just think there's a difference between stating you dislike something and repeating how much you dislike something everytime on every thread...

I know how you can feel bad and want to react when you read negative comments about what you like. In that case, just close your eyes and take a deep breath to lighten your mind because the most important is what you feel when you listen to a song and not the view of others.

I'm not fond of this album too. Though I won't say that I dislike it from A to Z as it would be wrong. There are songs I like but I really think it's her weakest album. And it's weird that I'm not eager about the release or that I don't listen to the songs again and again, day after day as I usually do.
I understand your feeling about the "dislike" thing because for the first time (and I never thought that it could happen), there is a song I can't listen to. I forced myself but it just hurt my ears, I can't.
