top 3 Worst and best tracks on "My Story"

Worst
1. Humming 7/4 (what the heck!? It's mostly cheering, it's a "girlish" wannabe)
2. WONDERLAND (it's just scary noises and toy noise, very annoying)
3. Replace (just boring...)

Best
1. walking proud (haven't gotten sick of it yet, simply beautiful, nice tune)
2. my name's WOMEN (catchy and fun, remindes me of Egypt for some reason)
3. winding road V.S About you (it's hard to decide, About you is so catchy and different, and winding road is a great contribution on Ayu's part, tis pretty)

humming 7/4

Moments

Worst:
INSPIRE
GAME
HONEY

I rather liked humming 7/4 in a 80's glam rock kinda way, Moments was just really good, and Catcher in the Light is ever so pretty. I had Liar and winding road for runner ups in best though. Everything else was mediocre. Not HORRIBLE though.

Well I'm not going to say best or worst...but so far after only listening to the album once through...

Favourite:
About You
Moments
Happy Ending
Walking Proud
My name's WOMEN
Carols

Least Favourite:
Humming 7/4
Inspire
Honey (this one's ok...but sounds made for an anime or CM)

I'm actually really liking the variety on this album...I think she's done a great job...I'll have to read the translations for the lyrics to fully make up my mind...but either way they all sound good (bar those few that just don't click)!

Best:
(non-singles)
Liar - Perfectly conducted and composed, her voice flows well with the melody and creates a truly emotional aura. A more meloncholic versioni of M, musically at least.

Replace - Fresh, uplifting, and pleasant. The kind of song that gives the listening a very warm feeling. Also very nostalgic in the sense that this song and Ayu's vocal style is slightly reminiscent of younger days. I feel this should have been released in place of Humming 7/4, as it has a Christmas-sy sound. Simply fabulous and delightful interludes as well.

My name's WOMEN - Despite what anyone says, this would have made a great single. It's better than Real Me, which it slightly resembles. The sound effects leave something to be desired, but an awesome chorus makes up for this. This is definitely Ayu's style.

Moments, About You, Carols, Game, Inspire go into this list for me. I personally don't understand what everyone seems to have against Inspire. I think it's a great, catchy song.

Worst:

Humming 7/4 - Better fitting verses and guitar riffs could have saved this song. While the chorus is catchy, everything else is atonal and just clashes. Besides being a ripoff of Independent/More Than..., it's the least polished song on the album, and in a bad way. The ending of this song (sans the verses) is the only bearable part for me.

Wonderland -"WTF" comes to mind. I can appreciate the freakish factor of this piece, but it just doesn't fit the album, and the music doesn't fit the title. You don't call an arrangement like that "Wonderland". Additionally, I can anticipate that after a couple listens, fans will tire of hearing this track.

HONEY - Cute, but just doesn't fit. While the chorus is sweet enough to bring a smile to your face, the song just doesn't measure up to the overall feeling of this album and this point in Ayu's career. Enjoyable, but shallow.

1. Walking Proud ( I cannot stop listening to this song! It's got the Dearest feel in it)
2. About You ( This one has a rockish feel in it. It is like the improvement of Ourselves and Game)
3. Moments ( This song is just beautiful. I'm a sucker for ballads )

Worst

Liar
Inspire
My Name's Woman

Actually I liked them all.. but those were the ones I don't listen that much to.
