Ddd I hate y'all, this is hands down my most-played GUILTY song; bittersweet bop. This bop is so happy, but something about her delivery makes me feel a bit of sadness when listening to it, like smiling through the tears; melancholy bop. She's so good at that though: having happy songs with a tinge of sorrow. Maybe it's just because the rest of the record is so dark, but this is a bit of relief and fresh air when I listen to it. And Ayu loves it too, considering how often she uses it for tour encores. I can't imagine what the PV would've looked like but I imagine something sweet.

eliminathan clocks my life, "I don't hate it but it also doesn't go anywhere." My bed is very cozy thank you. TABOO has tour fatigue, "I’ve seen this song as an encore staple, and because of that, I’m not a big fan of the studio version. The lyrics are genuinely quite lovely, but it lacks the energy it has when performed live." Her lives had their impact on EachSmallStep as well, "Better live, but an uplifting tune nonetheless." It doesn't do a whole lot for otenkiame, "Not bad, but fades into the background, especially when she's done so much better tracks in a similar vein. Still...it's inoffensive and makes for a nice listen anyway." It does just enough for evilsin, "I love me some long ass choruses. A cute and laid back track." Thankfully vague is here to serve our 10 the love it deserves, "such a sweet song; probably my fave non-single from the album. the chorus is so good."

Oh my god, not Toilet no Kami-sama!!!

Until That Day deserved better!

I love the Days PV (even though that ring she picks out is ghastly!). It's all about the end where she's walking away crying but it's fine because her friends pop out and are going to take her to the pub!

Everything leaving now is a great song.

Why do you want to kill me??? What did I ever do to you???

I don't hate it but it also doesn't go anywhere.

Exactly how I feel about MY ALL, it's so dull after the rest of the album, I tend to skip it.

Not that hard when the album is mostly uninspired trash.

And, based on the low scores that people have been giving, I did tank Marionette a bitsy oops

If we really had to cut another Love songs song (we didn't), I guess blossom would be the right pick. It's so glaringly obvious that she changed direction for the album after releasing this and MOON as a single, but they're solid in their own right. blossom is pretty heartbreaking, just watch the PV and you can gain a better grasp of the lyrics. I love that this and MOON are rockier, but they still contain that blueprint sound that would be present for the rest of Love songs. Like, it's rock... but gentler? She's just softer, you can hear it in her voice.

TABOO starts, "I loved this song dearly when it initially came out. It seems my passion for blossom has since dwindled," just like Jaejoong's health, huh sis? "The lyrics are gorgeous, however." It's fine, as otenkiame describes it, "Nice contrast between verses and chorus to give some omph to this ballad(?). I mean, it's definitely a been-there-done-that kinda song, but it's likeable anyway." evilsin salivates over the PV eye candy, "Ah, Jaejoong, my love, thank you for gracing the PV for this with your presence. The song stands out to me and the middle 8 lift it up even further." eliminathan pleads, "Don't die Jaejoong zaddy." I got bad news for you sis...

vikeyeol gets back-handed with ha commentary, "This feels like Ayu on autopilot yet it's one of my favs from the album ddd," and vague was knocked off ha feet for one shining moment, "was not expecting that amazing guitar solo, waow." Ayu and guitar solos, name a more iconic couple. How about me and RUNAWAY stanning Love songs? "This song is perfect in any form. The orchestra version on the crossroad single was incredible, as was the performance at Power of Music."

Notice how I planned the Love songs elimination after the remaining songs rundown because I know how your hating asses work. Don't fuckin' call for more Love songs tracks to go

Look at us agreeing on something for once!
No, look, blossom is fine ... it's just ... fine. There's just not much to say about it ... oh, I do like the "Clockwork yellow remix" from the crossroad single though.
