Duty Customer Reviews
Ayumi Hamasaki
Un tres bon album contenant des bombes Comme SURREAL, SCAR et KEY. Il y a d'autres bonnes chansons. Je comprends pourquoi cet album est un BEST SELLER.Un album indispensable!
Great album very strong sound great hit, surreal, real me, vogue... It will be never an old sound ! perfect equilibrium between electro and rock Essential in a collection
This is a great album by ayumi Hamasaki. I can see why it still is considered one of her best even after all these years. There are songs on here that will never grow old like the tital track Duty, and the songs Vogue, Far Away, Seasons, surreal, Key and Teddy Bear. This album I think is influential because for the first time you can see alot of her later styles from albums like Secret, Guilty and My Story emerging here. Duty starts out with a set of heavy sometimes rock influenced songs then gradually sinks into the love ballads in the bottom half before rising up again and ending it with the upbeat pop tune Girlish. almost all her best albums do that and as far as I know that trend started right here. I really like how all the songs have steady rock roots but still keep th eurobeat effect. A great buy well worth the money you spend on it. Plus the booklet is adorable featuring ayu as an Anime cat girl. ^-^
A must at every Ayu-fan's home!The coer is perfect, lyrics are very very deep and hte music is terrific!I had heard this album before but it's not the same when you own an original!
I did not know a lot of songs from this album before buying it... except the one from her singles,and I loved songs like Duty, Scars or Teddy Bear. I remembered Teddy Bear from one of her live, but found it boring at that time. On the contrary, when I listen to it in my Mp3, I think it's a really cite song. Nice album, which is to be owned in your Cd-library.
I loved Ayu's LOVEPPEARS album, which was a breath of fresh air by the way. DUTY is somewhat different, a great deal of emotion linger around on this album, but her trademark trance tunes are still there; and that's what I love about her. A definite for any Ayu fan or someone new to the JPOP scene!
When having two great albums, a lot of pressure is always put on the third to see whether or not it can surpass it's predecessors or just simply be as good as them. No worries there, 'Duty' is not only as good, it's far more ambitious as well! The songwriting has become more classy and serious. The title track is a great opening. Other favourites include vogue, End of the World, SCAR, Far away, SURREAL and SEASONS. With the lack of fun songs, Ayumi's voice has grown even more through the emotions she puts in all of the songs. An ambitious and emotional album!
Just another favorite album from Ayu.... I can not stop buying all her ablums.. I love owning ever single one...
For sometime this was my favorite album, and still is one of them! All the songs are so passionate and balanced out. I cant help but surely recomend this to anyoen who is an Ayu fan! Also, the cover is so Vogue! It was said that Ayu came up with the Cat-ish character herself, and the famous "trilogy" is one this album. Itcontains so many great hits! such as SURREAL, vogue, far away, seasons, duty, and scar! PLZ get this one, u wont regret it!
