Memorial Address

Excellent mini album from Ayu. The songs and videos showcase the different styles she has made her own up to this point and really creates a solid transition between studio albums. With two more songs on this it could’ve been a studio album itself, highly recommend to all fans of Ayu and J-pop/J-rock. Favorites: Angel’s Song, Because of You, Hanabi Ep. 2

From reviewing this product, Ayu's mini-album doesn't seem so mini to me! This album...the moment I pressed play, no words could describe the emotions I felt when listening to this masterpiece. It makes you think that even though there isn't as much songs as you would of liked, it definately stands out as one of Ayu's best. Within this album, each track had its own indidivual story, its different style of music, and its own impact within the listeners' hearts. Personally, I just loved the effort she put into this album. You can tell she put her heart and soul into it, which makes the work more enjoyable if you ask me. There isn't a single song I dislike, but the ones that impacted me the most were: "Angel's Song" "Because of You" "Ourselves" "Greatful Days" and finally "No Way To Say". I love this album very much. I can't find myself skipping a single track, the quality of it is extremely high from start to finish. An absolute MUST for any Ayu fan! (*⌒―⌒*)

This is Ayumi Hamasaki's 6th album, it's 2nd one I purchased. CD: 1.Angel's song:A song full of energy, and Ayumi's voice goes well along with the song 10/10 2.Greatful Days:At first for some reason I didn't like this song, but it ended up growing on me, and I found it very catchy 9/10 3.Because of you:The only time I usally hear J-Rock is from Zone, and Do As Infinity, But Ayu does a good job of making a addictive J-Rock song 10/10 4.Ourselves:Every CD I listen to has a flaw, and this is no exception. This is the only song I don't really like. 6/10 5.Hanabi episode 2:I only herd like half of the first one, and I liked it, this is a good sequal, but unfortunatly not a Godfather Pt 2 8/10 6.No way to say:This brings back great rememinises of Dearest. A very calm song, with an emotional hook 10/10 7.Forgivness:Seems like a sad song, and I love this song. The only thing was, I didn't know she was singing in english at the end, untill I read a board with the lyrics 9/10 8.Memorial Address take 2:This is a pretty good song. Nice tune and such and such. 9/10 DVD: 1.Angel's song:This has to be the wierdest thing I've ever seen! Ayu turns into a ware-wolf and kicks bootie all over the place. Hey, Michael Jackson meets Keeanu Reves. It's too wierd, I wanna see Ayu not a wolf. 4/10 2.Greatful Days:Reminds me quite a bit of what I see in America, but it definitly shows a happy side 8/10 3.Because of you:Typical rock video, I like it from time o time, but it's a litle wierd 7/10 4.Ourselves:One wierd video, Ayu inn a car getting attacked by an angry mob, and her album covers being ripped and stuff, what the fudge? 5/10 5.Hannabi:I only get to see a minute of this video cuz my friend put a bad scratch on it. I like it, but I wanna beat the heck outta my friend for making me miss out on the next part of the video 8/10 6.No way to say:Nice seeting for the video. Winterland in the streets of Japan, and this great-going song. 10/10 7.Forgivness:This is a nice video, Ayumi as a ferrie/Angel in a very nice song. Very suitable video 10/10 8.Preview of 30th single collection live museum:Boy after seeing just a sample of this, I know I want the rest of that cake no just a for-jorkin piece of the icing 10/10 It's a mini album with good songs, and a dose of some weird and nice videos. Anyone who likes Ayu should add this to their collection. Anyone who's just getting into Ayumni Hamasaki, should first start off with I am. Peace

This EP was released on December 17, 2003 to commemorate the release of Ayumi's 30th single and to coincide with the "memorial" celebration (A-Museum 30th Collection Live) that Ayumi and Avex held in Japan. While the album is (sadly) mostly comprised of tracks previously released and available as singles (mainly from the "&" and "Forgiveness" singles as well as their own respective), there are a few new tracks here... three to be exact: "Angel's Song," "Because of You," and "Memorial Address". All of the songs included on this compilation are great, however I don't feel that it was fair of Ayumi to do this to her fans. Most of them purchase and collect every piece of memorabilia of hers in existance, so they've most likely already got these songs. Three new tracks isn't much to brag about. However, the first pressing of this album (and version available here at Amazon) was a limited edition version with a bonus DVD (Region 2 and sadly not playable on American DVD players) which included the music videos for 7 out of 8 of the tracks on the album, and a bonus video track of footage from her Japanese Arena tour. All in all, this is a worthwhile buy if you are a diehard Ayumi fan and want the DVD, or a casual fan who doesn't own any of the songs available on this compilation. There are places other than Amazon you can get this same CD/DVD package for much, much cheaper however. Track list- 1. Angel's Song 2. Grateful Days 3. Because of You 4. Ourselves 5. Hanabi (Episode II) 6. No Way To Say 7. Forgiveness 8. Memorial Address (Take 2 Version) DVD includes music videos for tracks 1-7, and the bonus track of live footage.

メモリアドレスが入っているアルバムが欲しくて購入しました。 アルバム全体が良い作品で良かったです！ 注文してから届くのも早くて良かったです(^o^)v

中古でしたが、外側の綺麗でもちろん中身も綺麗でした＾＾ Memorial addressが聴きたくなって購入しました。 やはり良い曲です。 あゆ世代としては無性に聴きたくなる時があります。 当時は購入できなかったものも、今になって購入して聴いたり・・・ 良い買い物でした。。。

ayuコレクションの１つにしております。(*^^*) デザインがあまり好まなかったので☆減にしました。

商品も梱包もキレイで満足です

エンジェルソング目当てで購入しましたが。 どの曲も良くて。 あゆ中毒はしばらく続きそうです
