New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [VII]

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

OK, this could be completely off, but from the do it again preview:

It sort of has a sad undertone...I thought it was going to be an upbeat dance track. Maybe this song is about the pressure ayu feels from fans and avex ... think about it. over and over: dance dance dance, do it again, sing sing sing, do it again!

hm....

[Tasked]

Although right now I can't say: whoah here's my new favourite song, this album is of quite high quality! Just like rock'n'roll circus, Ayu has really put some effort in the album tracks, and that's really good.

Sending mail - sounds repetative, but that's probably just the chorus. STRONG high-quality song, definitely
Insomnia - say YES to a great screen-video song for the AT11!
Like a doll - definitely new kind of style. I don't know how to describe this song yet, it has something familiar. For me, it maybe reminds me of a 'story-telling' celtic song. It's new, and I think it sounds VERY promising
Aria - YES, classical. Gotta love that in her albums.
Thank you- HORRIBLE, haha. It's so simple. But it's nice to have a simple replace-like song in concerts.
overture- FRICKING FANTASTIC!!!! I LOOOVEE this interlude. Classical, beautiful, very amazing
Do it again- Repetative. However, it sounds like this song has A LOT more to offer in the full version. I have a feeling this song is going to be THE hit of this album.
November- Hmm. yea.. Classical influences, rock influences, upbeat and ballad. Very very good!

Gosh.. I was SO right. 'love song', apart from the awesome lyrics, is not really my type of song. But this album is SO fantastic! The only thing I'm missing is a hard-rock type of song like Microphone, 1 LOVE or decision. Sending mail is too upbeat for that.

that's exactly what I love about it!

I never thought about it that way.. very interesting if it turns out to be that way.

I'm sorry but MOON and blossom ARE NOT rock in the least bit.
Love song is, but it's very light.

i feel exactly the same. I imagine her like a puppet in a pv. But i know it will not happen ;_; cause she was twice a puppet/marionette in PV xD And a "product" in alterna.

^^If I'm right...that would be crazy! sing sing sing, do it again...sing sing sing, do it again...

You know? This album comes out as a very sad-vibe one i think. Even 'sending mail' sound more aggresive than "upbeat happy song". Thank U also sound... just nostalgic. That's why i think SS don't fit the album. BUT! even a SS is not a "happy song" lol

[ALPHY]

Thank U sounds great, but I have a feeling that it's an interlude...

They aren't rock, but they have rock influences obviously as they are both guitar driven plus the way the drums are played in MOON. I didn't say they are real rock songs, just rockish

I'm not listening to any of the previews. lol A while ago my computer and firefox both "updated" and since then I can't open up those types of files. my wmp opens up but it just gives me an error message. oh thank you aderianu! you uploaded them in mp3, now i can listen to them. wee

[pepper]

^ they're in download section in mp3

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

do it again makes me want to cry.
i kinda hope i'm wrong about the songs meaning... it would be too sad...

[pepper]

^ it makes me sad aswell. She sings sooo... out of feelings. So out-of-feelings so it feels like she want to scream lol.

I think it might be most personal and dark Ayu album, even if the songs are not based on guitars.

[Ayumiko]

I'm seriously not liking do it again...I like the music but the lyrics are so annoying! Hopefully the full version will be better and 'epic' like the mixer said.

I quite like the interludes...even though I prefer less than 3. I'm looking forward to sending mail, like a doll, and november.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^^I think it's because we expected it to be something it's not.

Thank god Thank U has lyrics ... lol that preview seriously makes it sound like an interlude.

[emi♡]

I think I really like them...

I mean...they're just, interesting lol

I dont really like sending mail though...I cant deal with repeating compositions like that lol Maybe the full will be better though.

I think insomnia is cool too, but I hope it changes more.

Her english in do it again...is really on the brink of ruining it for me...but the song might save it, cause it seems epic.

I think I will really like November too.


Anyway, I'm excited now that these sound like songs I might actually put on my playlist and listen to lol Must have album right now!

[Neko★munication]

I've avoided previews from every album since Secret . I always tend to appreciate the songs more hearing them full for the first time on the physical album. I'll be doing the same for Love songs!

[truehappiness]

There's probably a point to do it again's lyrics. Ayu isn't one to do that sort of thing, haha.

EVERYTHING IS SO AMAZING UGH~

And as expected, Thank U sounds like gorgeousness.

[pepper]

do it again = criminal

anyone? but i think it's just a similarity from the short preview, cause (AND I HOPE) it will fasten up or just change the lyrics

[njanjayrp]

Thank U is pure love (the preview) the melody reminds me of HONEY for some reason (but it doesn't sound the same or anything xD), the song seems so sweeeet~
