Obviously the score listed for winding road is wrong. I'll fix it.

 

See when you do 100+ graphics at the same time... :suburban:

This one gives me such an airy-celestial feeling. Love the violin-like horns in the background. Gives me road song too :gaycat4:
Is her typical happy song and those are my fave ayu songs :celestial4:

These banners are honestly stunning, and I love how you did something for the numbers too. They're all harmonious to look at together :smitten:

Track #13 on A Song for ××

 

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 2 (Curaga, blueberries, Maresia)

LOW SCORE: 4 x 1 (me lmao)

HOST SCORE: 4

 

I have a bone to pick with this song. Just when I start to get into the album, after a run of surprisingly good tracks, this little irritant pops up and reminds me of all of the things I dislike about the debut. SIGNAL is a dated mess of a song that even an ill-timed guitar solo cannot fix for me. I also just think the chorus melody is rather grating. Some of the remixes do a little bit of work on the production, but I fear there's just no saving the chorus for me. I'm sorry girls!

 

SIGNAL is, surprisingly, one of the debut album tracks that gets semi-regular outings on tour for Ayu. One of the few early songs that she has performed since the turn of the century. To which I have to wonder... why? I thought it might be one of those cases where it's just an interpolation during a medley or something? But no! She's fully giving this song a full five minute performance on tours as recent as 2021! An enigma, mama.

 

 

Suilen: it sounds too loud to me now that I'm old (c) AMIT; I think I liked it more in the past, but it was never my favorite singal within j-pop, which is Kalafina's.

Kyle-x: A cute little uplifting bop. The "Y & CO. TASTE" remix is the best version imo.

Invisibility: I'd stan this one a bitsy because it's giving Carmen Sandiego-level detective theme song, but they needn't make Ayu sing that high/shrill in the chorus.

Meloetta Carey: the vocals really hold it back.

and doing them quick enough that we had next-day reveals :clap3: I took the lazy way out in Kalos and pre-prepared them so I didn't have to add the scores and placements to the graphics them selves :suburban: You're doing it the real and proper way, so cheers to you, mama. 

I'm really stunned by the consistency of the fonts matching the album font/design, like howwwwwwww

Cute song, but it is one of those times where I'm not here for the vocal delivery.

The instrumental gives me vintage japanese videogame or vintage japanese game tv show.

I dont know what is this genre called but i live for those retro japanese dance instrumentals :gaycat4: they have something very nostalgic and this album is filled with them

So many find them dated. I find them very unique and cute. Maybe cause im a 90s baby and i remember that feeling of livin in the world pre-2000 and they just bring me back a bit to those strange times of the past.

All these debut tracks dropping but not the one I want. I already prepared a list of the songs with the same title better than it.

Yesssss, same for me. SIGNAL just sounds like such a classic J-pop song to me, like Sailor Moon era for some reason.

 

The vocal doesn't bug me in the least, so I'm surprised to see others complain about it because I feel like I'm usually the first one to complain about imperfect vocals nnn
