^^ MTE.

When I heard it yesterday I thought she was pulling a Rebecca Black on us by going;

Friday nite <Japanese language> comes after thursday
Saturday nite <Japanese language> comes after friday

etc. I still find it kinda tacky and awkward though, especially how she pronounces the English words (and how they wrote "night" as "nite"). It sounds so forced. I wonder if Timmy helped her pronunciation. :/ Though her vocals still sound superb nevertheless. :)

I don't mind the English much since honestly ayu's english usually just doesn't sound the best in her songs since she started using it in RAINBOW. So I think I'm good with the awkward sound.

totally agree.... sounded very dated, even with all the arrangements. It feels something is wrong with this song, they should edit and do away all her vibratos at the end of the phrases. I love trance but the trance in this song is terrible.

I think this one is not bad at all, I love it :)

LOVE IT. So much. More of this kinda music please, Ayu. :yes

not baddd... now.. just DONT disappoint us with cheessy video, give us something wild! creative! and big budget video! :thud

Considering how most of Ayu's material from the past 3 years has been pretty much repetitive and forgetable, this track is at least catchy enough to stuck in an average listener's head and stay there for a while, which is exactly what they're aiming for before releasing a 'best' album. Sounds indeed like signature TK arrangement, the lyrics are simple and catchy, accurate for summer, vanilla kind of pop.

It's not a WOW song but it's not TERRIBLE either. It's catchy. Sounds good. No complaints

I don't like the song (music) - it's too western, it's very popular trance in US (Rihanna much)doesn't fit for her vocal and I just don't like that music. It reminds me of "We found love" which I like when they play the song on the club or sth, but I don't listen to that music at home. Without the "western music" it may be just another Glitter/BLUE BIRD song which I never was fan of tbh. I started to like them after very long time from realese. AND I HATE THE english parts. She just can't sound nothing but FUNNY. She sound ridicolous when she sings in english but it sound cute when the song fits (ESM) or the lyrics are easy (Tell me why) But she can't say "friday" without making me facepalming, I'm sorry ;_;
The song itself could be just "an another ok medium bubblegum song" but the "rihanna-music-like" ruins for me. I hope she will never-ever do that song again, but I'm very afraid she wants to be more western. I don't like the direction she is going to, but she never was a "one-type" musician, so I hope for more "JAPANESE" than "AMERICAN" music.

I like her look in the video, she looks nothing but natural, but she is gorgeous in it, especially with long wet hair, she looks definitely amazing. But I don't like cheesy beach love story PV's :P

I don't want to be seen as a hater, I never was with Ayu, I really liked the cover for SUMMER BEST, I enjoyed PQ very much, I just hate when she is going to be "like somebody in America" and I just don't like that type of music because we have a lot of song like this in West... I have one Ayu and I want japanese Ayu.

Don't be so dramatic, it's just one song xD

And it sounds far more 90s generic jpop than western pop...

x2
the perfect 90s TRF wannabe song ...and i love it

Naah, I just don't dig the trance elements cause they reminds me of Rihanna, but the rest is as I said, just another "bubblegum" song :) I don't hate it, I just know I will never listen to it or sth~

it reminded me on Rihanna WFL too but only because it was huge hit this year, not cause rihanna made that sound. I honestly am happy for it since its a big tune. And I find her english always super cute.

Well, this is the TK magic xD

Also, to people saying they wanted Ayu to do something more Namie-ish, it probably won't get closer than that xD~~

been listening to this for so long and still love it!

ew gross lol

that's like saying I want Koda's Got to be Real sound from Ayu.

People be crazy :P

I think I've given up on the song. The chorus is still good, but I honestly like nothing else. Oh well, I know I'll go crazy for a HQ rip for sure.

good music like 'we found love' but horrible melody, who composed this? ¬¬

^ tetsuya komuro did =))

^ Oh! thanks
