Barely after the celebration of the 10th year anniversary of her debut, Ayumi Hamasaki is out with a new album. Original elements are added into the lyrics, singing style, arrangement and the melody, these all signify her maturation over the last 10 years and her readiness for this new stage of her life.
The CD comes with a total of 13 tracks and the DVD contains 6 of the most beautifully designed music videos, besides the product, the making-of processes are included as well.
Best Ayu Album Ever!!!! Having been disappointed by Ayu’s last album Guilty I was very anxious about her new album, but having heard it I have one thing to say …. this album is possibly Ayu’s best work! Now I know that’s a bold thing to say considering the fantastic collection of songs she has already released but this album truly shows us Another Level to Ayu’s talent. Aside from a few ballads most songs are 80s electro pop, foot stompers, head bangers, speaker blowing anthems!!!! This is really a completely new direction for Ayu and if you like her remix/ trance albums you are really going to love this one! In addition the music videos are some of the best I’ve seen! From the 40s China look in GREEN to the fetish/ 80s pop chart look (yes fetish AND 80s pop chart) in Sparkle each video shows us another wonderful side to this already multi-talent artist! If this is the future, the Next Level of Ayu’s work I say BRING IT ON AYU “sing forever, Dala, Dala, Dala, Dala” !!!!!
