sorry, I'm a bit behind the news, are the 3 main songs on L

01. Last angel (Original mix)
02. Virgin Road (Original mix)
03. Sweet Season (Original mix)

are they all ayu original songs? or are any of them covers? or what...I know seven days war is not her own song, but what about these 3?

thanks!

I have to say I really love crossroad as a song! It's much better than any of her last releases for me, much better than Moon/blossom for sure. The PV preview also looks nice, similar to (boring) Moon PV, but she's looking gorgeous this time and the scenery more interesting.
Could do without the blossom PV though, probably won't even watch it in full.

Still waiting for L having at least one upbeat song...

You'll probably have to wait for the next album for anything upbeat.

Max Matsuura mentioned something about the packaging. He said it was large and luxurious, I think?
Quote:
さっき50枚目の「L」の完パケが届いた。すごい豪華で期待大。。
Also... Kome just mentioned who the composer of Sweet Season is. It's Makihara Noriyuki! That's a new one. I think he composed a famous song called Donnatoki mo? Oh woah, he's the composer of SMAP's Sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana.

浜崎あゆみ、9/29発売の50thシングル『 L 』収録の新曲「Sweet Season」は槇原敬之さん作曲! もちろん初タッグです!

Yay for ayu :3 cant wait for L

I found this on tokyohive as a comment about the preview of blossom
which i think shows that using jaejoon has helped ayu in general

wow.~! seems like a cute pV>~!

It’s been a long time eversince I last listened to Ayumi, I think I’ll try and listen to more of her songs these days~

Im so happy people are starting to get back into ayu!

And i also found this one

I’m not a fan of Ayumi, but maybe I should listened more of her music, because I like this song and It fit perfectly to the “minidrama

and theres so many more like this out there!
Omg its so exciting go ayu!!!

This is a bit extreme, I wouldn't call it a nightmare and it would never test my fandom.

However, I do agree with you because all of these ballads are kinda driving me crazy. I had such high hopes for a truly diverse Triple A-side. I mean.. look at all of her other "1 character multi A-side" singles!!

A
A nostalgic song, 2 upbeat songs and a ballad.

H
One very cheerful song, one nostalgic summer song and a ballad

&
A rock/urban-ish song (don't really know how to describe "ourselves" ), an upbeat summer song and a ballad

L
3 medium ballads

Well, okay we don't know what she'll be doing with Last Angel, but it's pretty much certain it's also a medium ballad.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING, we just had MOON, Crossroad and SEVEN DAYS WAR, move on please.

I had such high hopes for L. Rock, electro, trance, anything but this. Maybe Last Angel will still surprise me! *prays*

i'm praying right there with you Keiichi_JPU! give me something that isn't a ballad!

more specifically, give me something that isn't a MEDIUM ballad. ugh.

i wonder why she's decided to release so many medium ballads at once?

That's good news! ^_^ Even better since it's blossom hehe.

I'm praying along with you guys! Virgin Road and Sweet Season both sound good BUT I really REALLY like NEED Last Angel to be upbeat. I credit Ayu with showing me that pop ballads can actually be good and interesting but still I'm mostly an upbeat/rock/pop chick so it would be nice to have one of those on this single. ^^;

Seriously. Does virgin ballad sound like a "medium ballad"??? I think songs like Sweet Season which are on the border of being a uptempo and a ballad should be considered a medium ballad. I dunno, my idea of a medium ballad is that of Sweet Season. Virgin Road sounds tooo heavy to be a medium ballad..zz. This term is being abused. It's as though every ballad now is like that.

i think people shud just be prepared for a triple ballad. anything else would just be awesome. It's reaching fall, ballads suit the mood best.

I agree that it'd be reli dry & boring if all 3 songs on L ended up to be ballads. I don't know though, will there ever be a chance that the final version of Sweet Season might end up more upbeat than the one we heard in the sweet cm?

Btw this reminds me that from the cm, we've only heard roughly 15s of sweet season, of which 80% is inaudible... there is a chance that Sweet Season might just be an adorable mid-tempo song~

...she just released an album that had rock tinged songs.
the previous album had electronic/dance themed songs.
the album before that also had rock themed songs.

i mean, she really hasn't been ballad-heavy in a long time.
and of the ballad singles she's released recently, they get a lot of slack for not being "up to par" with her previous works. (although, that tends to be for anything she releases now...)




Oh and btw, Mezamashi TV previewed Sweet Season's PV this morning. Unfortunately I was sleeping .
