@Graves Are you going to do the haters/lovers thing for each album? I have a feeling I didn't make either for any album (well, maybe a bit of a hater for MA), but I have a feeling I'm going to be no. 2 lover for multiple albums in part 2 after Kyle.

Since you asked, I will put some together. I fear the #1 lover and #1 hater for each album will be the same throughout however.

Speaking of the debut, this single was immaculate. Definitely in my personal top 10.

29th Single「&
Track #5 on Memorial address

 

11 x 2: @UrMom & @blueberries

 

HIGH SCORE: 10 x 1 (Bad Decisions)

LOW SCORE: 5.8 x 1 (Meloetta Carey)

HOST SCORE: 8

 

No stranger to a sequel song, HANABI ~episode II~ is the aptly titled follow-up to RAINBOW's HANABI. It's kind of cute, right? That they both got single releases as part of their respective album's EP? Thematic contrast! I really like that they both make for the last song on their respective EPs too. episode II is like HANABI but after some time has passed. After the wounds have closed up a little bit and closure can finally come. If the original concerns Ayu's sadness and refusal to let go of her memories, then episode II is acceptance. It's the maturity needed to look back at the past and finally put it to rest. They make for great sister songs and listening to them together only makes me appreciate each one a little bit more!

 

Not only that, but episode II is such a perfect soundscape for those final nights of Summer. You know, when the bright times are coming to an end and you know there's nothing you can do to stop it. Those dreamy guitars and chanting choruses give an air of finality to things. Her Summertime EPs were really full of interesting tracklist quirks like this. I just know she was rubbing her hands together with glee when she signed off on the running order on them.

 

The video is really pretty. This entire era was just great for the Ayu looks. Fans of the Ayu bob may not have been getting fed, but she was giving style icon. You know what else she's giving in this video? Acting. When those sparks start flying at the end and she's a blubbering mess? That's commitment. She's all teary and snotty and unashamed of it. Give this woman an Emmy.

 

 

Suilen: a downgrade.

Kyle-x: The PV for this is so beautiful. This is actually a song that took a LONG time to grow on me and I've only started loving it in recent years. I might prefer the "HAL'S MIX 2003" to the original?

Invisibility: I've never been a big fan of those men chanting alongside her in the chorus, plus she kinda loses steam quick... which is a shame because I do love the idea of Ayu with a backdrop of dream pop guitars, but this sequel just doesn't live up. Good thing she did give us another dream pop-y stellar moment with "fated" later on!

Curaga: Love that mini explosion into the wall of sound from the intro. Now this one sounds like fireworks! Very sparkly and epic.

AMIT: the first episode is better imo.
