Yeah but not to strip away everything that makes that song great to begin with. I like the remix to improve on those elements. Dance remixes are different because it's always interesting to hear a song with a good beat to begin with, re-arranged into a different piece of product, possibly improving on what made the song great from the very start.

I listen to is this love?, Microphone, Mirrorcle World, About You, GAME, Because of you, etc..., for the fact that they are ROCK songs with POWER. Strip that away from them and everything that interested me about those songs to begin with is lost.

A good, full orchestral arrangement can be at least as powerful as the rock arrangements of any of those tracks.

And the Mirrorcle World arrangement performed at POWER of MUSIC slays that messy original mix so easily.

Omgomgomg thank you !! :luv2 I remember desperately searching for it, so glad I have it now ! It's amazing~

finally a release actually worth purchasing. rule sounds like it's using live orchestra as well. :) :) :)

agree... but i think another re-arrange can be interesting...
the original power-rock sound with a more orchestra/classical flavour ;)

maybe for a best album or something like this ^^

you're welcome ^^

Just give me Together When... and JEWEL in a classical form and idc what she puts on this album. Throw NOTHING FROM NOTHING on there if she wants idc at least I'll have JEWEL.

I listen to those songs because they're rock songs, but mainly because they make me feel indescribable emotions... "Because of You", "is this LOVE?" for example made me cry a few times for sure !

And imo, even though they don't beat the originals, classical versions give another vision of the song with different emotions, I LOVE alterna's orchestra version for example, even though it's completely different from the original. I think it's just a matter of taste, I hope you'll like the album even if they remixed rock songs (I really hope they did actually). ^^

Tbh I've been wishing for a new classical album... I'm so happy she's releasing one, I can't wait to see the tracklist ! So excited ♥

a classical version can be just as powerful as a rock version... It can even be MORE emotional then the original version, it just depends on the remix.

And you comment about the dance remixes is the same reason why i like remixes of any song... because it has the potential to make a great song even better.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how epic this album could be... I hope it's going to be amazing !!

But... All the tracks were chosen from the TeamAyu poll held this month right ? So it'll mostly be Japanese fans' favorite songs ? :( Their tastes are pretty different to ours so I hope the tracklist will be alright...
I don't know if that's true though, the official website doesn't mention anything about it. Maybe they're keeping the results for A BEST 3 ? :laugh

She made a full album in classical... A Story - classical
And there where some other songs, she made a classical Version from. I'm not a fan of this versions of Ayu-Songs.

Oh yes.. seems so. (^_^)

"Acoustic Orchestra" and "Classical" are NOT the same type of rearrangement. MY STORY Classical are the ONLY "Classical" versions Ayumi has ever released.

Am I the only one who thinks the cover is gonna be a classic-ish A logo? :P

RAINBOW please!!

Very excitingggggGggg!

This! :yes

like my story classical

Is not about elitist and you can't say my view is "ignorant"

if you think that slap the old vocal tracks into new classical arrangemnt it will be a good quality classical product... just go for it

Yep :yes For anybody who's never heard anything from MY STORY Classical (and I highly recommend listening to it :luv2), here are two versions of Moments, the first is from the Acoustic Orchestra version of ayu-mi-x 7, the second is from MY STORY Classical. I think this illustrates the difference between a Classical version and an AO version pretty well.

Moments Acoustic Orchestra:


Moments Classical:

If there wasn't a difference between Acoustic Orchestra remixes and Classical ones, they might have named this album "ayu-mi-x 8 Acoustic Orchestra".

I am very sure that Ayu's producers are going to collaborate with the Lamoureux Orchestre once again. Another orchestra would be possible, too.

Looking forward to hearing the results in any case.
