1. Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
Ayu and summer tracks have been happening a lot lately and once again releases another one. I can tell this is a little different than her previous efforts with obvious differences. There’s a lot of deep synths throughout the verses and then it changes into a pop/rock kind of track through the chorus. The BKGD yelling didn’t really help out much, but the song does have a great arrangement in the verses more than the choruses.
2. Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~
Now this would be more to what I was expecting for a summer track. Since Ayu’s track record with summer tracks have been somewhat ballad-like. Already I can tell this is a better ballad than the ones found back on “NEXT LEVEL”. Though it does run in my mind that it isn’t as memorable to her bigger ballads. The orchestration helped this song out greatly and this was the better track IMO.
3. “fairyland-glitter-BLUE BIRD-Greatful days-July 1st” Mega-Mash-Up-Mix
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen megamixes from Ayu…Actually this could be the first one found on a single. If you’ve noticed by the selection of tracks chosen here, they are all summer tracks and fits the mood of the single pretty nicely. Sadly, the problem is that all of the tracks sound more or less too much like each other. At least it’s easy to tell when the melody changes with each track and they flow pretty nicely within one another. I’m surprised “NEXT LEVEL” wasn’t on here because I thought that was just as summery as these tracks.
So Ayu begins a new era with a summerfied single? I guess so, but she has a lot of these kind of tracks as stated in the megamix. The problem I had with the single was that neither tracks made much of an impact on me (that’s probably because I’m still infatuated with last era’s releases). Sunrise was a nice cheery and upbeat track, though the two ideas of synth and pop/rock was odd. Sunset though was a pretty ballad, but others cover it up easily. The mega-mix was a nice treat and was a pretty good idea overall. Ok start to an era, hope she kicks it up with the next one.
