Ayumi Hamasaki Love songs

CDCD+DVD
USB+SD CARD+PB

Love songs is the 12th full album of Ayumi Hamasaki. The covers are really simple & the colours remind me of summer although the album was released in December. They’re really cute even if it’s not the most creative & beautiful covers of her discography.

01-Love song is the first track. It wear the same title that the album. It’s a pop song. The first time I listen to it I find that the different part of the song was really different & there is not note that play the intermediate role. So the full song sounds a bit rambling. However, it’s the power of this song because it’s not repetitive & it each part surprises me. Moreover the lyrics are really beautiful. She turned the pv in LA & Manuel Schwarz (virgin road pv) starring again on it. It seems that they’re really friends. It’s good.
02. Crossroad comes from her 49th single. It’s one of the most beautiful songs of this album. I listened to it at least 100x since the single is out & I don’t grow tired about it. The arrangement, Ayu’s voice, all is perfect. I know I said that I’ll make a pv interpretation when I write about crossroad single. I’ll try to make it after my exams.
03. MOON is a beautiful & powerful ballad that comes from her 48th single. This ballad is one of my favourite ballads of Ayu.
04. sending mail is the first new song of Love Songs. It’s a beautiful rock song. Personally I love how she put her feelings in the song. I really hope we’ll have a live of that song.
05. Last angel comes from her 50th single L. It’s a trance song similar to connected. I really like the intro that starts as a ballad. The lyrics are really mysterious.
06. insomnia is the first interlude of Love songs album. I’m not a big fan of that. The instrumental part is ok. I don’t really like the ‘ah’ part singing by Ayu.
07.Like a doll is the new song that disappointed me. The rhythm is good but at the end is so repetitive. When I listened to the preview I had a good feeling however.
08.Aria is the second interlude & my favourite of that album. The violin reminds me Emiri Miyamoto playing for Nodame Cantabile anime. That kind of interlude is really fresh & sweet.
09. blossom comes from her 48th single. Even if it was release in summer I never thought that song is really a summer-ish song as Blue Bird or Inspire. For me that kind of song sounds the end of summer. I always love the mixing between happiness & sadness, she successes to combine in a same song.
10.Thank U is a happy song that are made for the end of concert with the La La La where everyone sings. Personnally I really like this song more than RED Line or MY ALL because the instrumental part is more meticulousness. In the two others there is the usual guitar part. In Thank U there is sounds who make me think about water. The lyrics really is simple but It’s Ayu’s words. That words she always says us.
11.Sweet Season comes from the 50th single. It’s a ballad that makes everyone sing Kira Kira Kira. It’s not one of my favourite LS songs.
12. overture is the last interlude. It’s really similar to Aria without the violin. Some sounds are similar to November for me. It’s my second favourite interlude of this album.
13. do it again is a pop song. It’s a good song with good sounds & rhythm but there is a negative point: she repets Dance Dance Dance Do it again & Sing Sing Sing Do it again too much time. I never appreciate that kind of repetition.
14.November is the most beautiful new song of that album. The arrangement & the sound are really meticulousness. It sounds really different from what we already heard in her discography. I can’t understand people who don’t like them.
15.Virgin Road comes from her 50th single. It’s one of my favourite songs too. It’s a beautiful ballad worthy of Dearest or HEAVEN.
[bonus track]
16.SEVEN DAYS WAR (Live at Yoyogi on Oct.11.2010): I like it because it’s full of emotion. ^^

For the pv: Virgin Road, Last Angel & Love song form a trilogy. The story is turned as an american movie. Personally I really like it. Do it again is a mystery for me. I really can’t say anything but it’s really aesthetic.
