August 14, 2006 Awesome work!The first song on the single "Like a Love?" is okay. It's pretty nice but it's nothing special. Although, it was composed by the famous singer Ai Otsuka! The MV for this song is awesome. It's really cute and pretty. But, in my opinion, the b-side "sukoru ni nurete" (get wet in a squall/thunderstorm) is amazing, and it's much much better than Like a Love. It has an acoustic feel and uses many real band-type instruments which is a new element in an Ami Suzuki song. I love it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 A great concert!I bought this DVD back in December along with the Stadium Tour 2002 DVD and this one was my favorite of the two. The concert is like a musical, each song is perfectly choreographed and the first 5 songs or so have a continuing storyline (I better not spoil it :P)... All of the costumes are very beautiful and Ayu looks perfect in them. She even wears a beautiful red kimono for "I am..." and another asian outfir for "A Song for XX". Ayumi's vocals weren't the best in this concert but it's hardly noticable. Some of her performances were very strong. She also managed to sing "evolution" 100% perfectly, which I loved! What I like best about this concert is that it never gets boring - each performance really keeps your attention. The unplugged version and the bonus tracks are awesome too, Ayumi sings with classical instruments and her vocals just blow me away. Anyone who likes Ayu's concerts should DEFINATELY check out this dvd! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 I LOVE Dakishimeru!Dakishimeru is an AWESOME song. It's so catchy and awesome, definately one of BoA's best. I don't know what's up with the cd cover though. I think it doesn't suit the song at all. Nevertheless, Dakishimeru is an amazing song and I know that anyone would love it. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 I love this album!Before this album, I'd never listened to any Chinese music and mostly stuck with Japanese. I bought this album because I was mainly interested in seeing what Chinese music sounds like. Well, I was very very impressed! The first song really got me excited to hear the rest of the album. Dancing Diva is my favorite song. I also love #5 and "Mr. Q" and my favorite ballad is "Pretence". Even though I can't understand even a word of it, Jolin's voice and the music completely make up for that. I recommend this album to anyone who's interested in trying it out, because I know you won't be dissapointed! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Its really worth it!I think this is a really awesome single. Not only do you get three amazing songs from Memorial Address, "ourselves" "Greatful Days" and "HANABI ~Episode II~" but you also get the amazing "theme of a-nation '03" which can't be found anywhere else. The cover is also very nice. It's a good buy! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Um.I have to agree with some of the other reviewers, this "ayu-mi-x" just isn't as great as the others. There are a few songs that are really awesome, but most of them just don't cut it. I recommend the other "ayu-mi-x" series over this one. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Such an awesome collectionI love No way to say. It's an amazing ballad. I like the second track, "No way to say (Acoustic Version) much better though. Ayumi sings the song along with an acoustic guitar and it sounds so natural and beautiful, and you really get to hear how she puts so much power into the chorus. Next, you get 3 acoustic versions of 3 of Ayumi's best ballads. I love them all, they all go perfectly with the feeling of the single. This single is perfect for anyone who likes accoustic relaxing music. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Just.. AWESOME!Even though this is Ayu's smallest album, it definately stands out as one of her best. Each and every song is a different style of music, which makes this album like a musical alphabet soup. :P The songs are all so awesome. I don't think it's worth it to buy the CD without the DVD because you can go buy a full album with 17 songs for the same amount of money. However, if you buy the dvd with it, then its worth it. All the MVs are just as amazing as the songs themselves. Plus the cover is so beautiful. The whole package is all worth the purchase. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 I love Moments!Moments is an awesome song with amazing lyrics. I like the "Acoustic piano version" even more (track 2). It might not be a good idea to buy the CD+DVD since you will get the PV with MY STORY, but it's still worth the buy if you just want to have it. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 It's beautiful.First of all, look at that cover. It's so beautiful, don't you think? The song "CAROLS" is a really touching ballad, you need to go to an internet site and read the lyrics. Listening to the song is so relaxing, and the song is just so beautiful. Plus, we've got remixes here! I love the remixes. They're great! I wouldn't buy the CD+DVD version of this, because you'll get the MV/PV on MY STORY's DVD anyway. Even if you only want to buy this single because of its beautiful cover, do it. The song and the single is all worth it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 IT ROCKS!I think that this is one of Ayu's best albums yet! There is a variety in all the songs, each song is a different genre which makes every song stand out and shine. "Bold & Delicious" is just a song that you have to hear to understand. It's really awesome. "STEP you" is a VERY catchy pop song that anyone would love. "Ladies Night" is another pop song that sounds more "80's". "is this LOVE?" is a rock ballad type song, VERY rock. "(miss)understood" is an awesome rock song, the guitars sound wicked, and so does Ayu's singing. "alterna" is sort of a freakier rock song, but many people adore it. My friend's boyfriend HATES pop/j-pop but he loves this song with a passion. "In the corner" - I actually don't like this song very much but my friends all seem to. I guess its kind of catchy. It's not a rock song, its more like a mysterious song... "criminal" is one of my favorites, its an awesome ballad type song (but not too slow) that has lots of piano and violins! "Pride" is a nice ballad with a choir. "Will" is a Japanese traditional sounding song, I LOVE it! "HEAVEN" is the best ballad of the year, for sure. Next come the best pop songs of the album "fairyland" and "beautiful day"! Both of them sound very summery and awesome.. I just love them! Finally we have "rainy day", a sweet ballad that's perfect to end the album. Now, look at that DVD tracklist! How can you go wrong with that? It contains SO much! Go ahead and spoil yourself!

July 9, 2006 What a Bargain!This album is definately one of Ayu's best. You get a collection of 17 AWESOME songs. Alot of the songs are more rock than before, which is perfect for anyone who likes rock music, although they still keep the pop feel that everyone loves from Ayu. The ballads are really awesome too. My favorite songs are "About You" "Game" "my name's WOMEN" "Liar" "HAPPY ENDING" "Replace" and "Humming 7/4". And just look at that wicked price! You can't go wrong! It costs less that half of Ayu's singles, and you get so much more! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 I love it!This single is full of calm ballady songs. "Heaven" is just an amazing ballad, one of Ayu's best. The lyrics are so moving and the PV is very awesome. Then "Will" is even better, I think. Its a traditional Japanese sounding song, with lovely lyrics and great vocals, plus its co-composed by Ayu herself! Then the alterna orchestra version is very good, nothing spectacular but it's still great nonetheless. "Heaven Piano Version" is just awesome. You get to really hear Ayu's awesome vocals and the piano makes the whole song sound more natural. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 It's nice.Bold & Delicious is a really awesome song that's just makes you want to jump up and down! Pride is a nice ballad. Both songs have a choir in them. I think the songs are great but you should just buy the (miss)understood album instead because both the tracks are on it and both the PVs too. I'd only buy this is I was buying it for the remixes, or if I was a collector. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Great!"Startin'" is a cool pop-rock song that is very catchy and "Born to Be..." was an Olympic theme song (that should tell you something :P) and the song sounds really, well, Olympic-y. It's awesome. Then we get a nice little bonus, "Teens" ! The song was done for TRF's latest album and I guess Ayu decided to put the song on this single as a treat for those who buy the single. The tracklist says that its "accoustic version" but I think it sounds almost the EXACT same as the original. As for the DVD, I think Startin' is really fun and Ayumi looks very pretty in it. Born to Be's PV sucks, though. You'll know what I'm talking about. There are tons of lights that shine so bright you can't even see what's going on. It's annoying. But it's still worth getting it with the DVD because Startin' is great. All 3 songs of the single are really different from each other and each one is awesome in its own way. I recommend it!

July 9, 2006 Superb!I love this single. "Blue Bird" is a refreshing summer song while "Beautiful Fighters" is a really fun pop song. But to me, the gem of this single is "Ladies Night ~Another Night~". They took the song "Ladies Night" from her (miss)understood album and remade it into an AWESOME rock track. The DVD is pretty good too, finally we get a making-of on a single, although it will probably end up on the next album DVD anyway. I think that the covers of the single are really beautiful and colorful. It's awesome. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 My friend loves it!Since I heard so many great reviews about this album I thought to buy it for a friend as a gift because she likes classical music alot. She really loves it, and I do too! The songs are very beautiful. My favorite songs are "Moments" and "Winding Road". You have to keep in mind that this CD isn't just like an ayu-mi-x accoustic orchestra album, because the tracks are actually played by a full symphonic orchestra (the Lamoureux Orchestra from Paris). This CD is perfect as a gift or just as a treat for yourself, especially when you're in the mood to relax. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Hmmm...To start off, the tracklist sort of annoys me. It's stupid how every second song is a remix of "Around the World" .. I mean, it's fine and dandy if you like that song alot, but if you don't then half the album isn't going to be that great to you. I think that they should have made more remixes of other songs instead of making so many remixes of "Around the World". With that being said, I also think this might not be a good buy if you own most of last year's singles, because alot of the other songs on this album come from her other singles. However, if you're willing to put up with all the Around the World remixes and you don't own more than one or two singles from last year, plus you like trance music very much, then you will love this album. It has alot of great quality trance remixes. Any Ami fan or trance music lover would definalely enjoy it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 Summer!Wow. What a great way to bring in the summer from Ami! The song "Alright!" kind of reminds me of music from her days with Sony, but trust me, its much better. The arranger, HAL, kept just a tad of trancey feeling, but yet the song isn't dancey like last year's singles or Fantastic. The b-side, I don't know the name of it on the HK version but in Japanese it's called "hare moyou" and it's really good. It kind of sounds tropical/carribbean and its just soft and nice, but not too slow. As for the PV, its not that great. Ami just plays around with her friends on vacation. But its nice because its so easy to relate to and she does all the things people do during the summertime. Overall, this is a really nice single. Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 9, 2006 It's amazing!This is DEFINATELY one of Ayu's most complete and AWESOME concerts! She sings all her best singles and songs from throughout the years. The audience seems to be really into the performance, and its so fun! During "poker face, Trust, & Depend on You" Ayu is actually on a smaller stage on the side of the concert hall, she really works the audience with that. During "Dearest", she sits on a big circus rind and swings over the stage! For "M" she comes out in wedding dress with a gigantic veil that is the size of the whole length of the stadium! In "fly high" she surprises the audience by coming out of the side door and going onto a metal basket that lifts her above the audience and around the concert hall (while her fans practically pee themselves in astonishment)! It has everything you could want in a concert! Buy it as soon as possible! I know you'll love it! Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
