Lol no. He sounded good. Ayu kinda sound like she's in the middle of swallowing something.

I think she sounded good in the verses and lost it slightly on the chorus but still good!

I cannot listen to that guy, he sounds so painful lol and that duet is.... not good, i'm sorry. The "harmony" sounds horrible lol

So there we will have a collab.... i'm not happy at all, unless he sounds decent in studio recordings lol In general i realy don't want any bloody collaborations on the album i'm jhoping it's HIS song instead of Ayu's.

she not singing in full power because not to overcome JJ Lin...and JJ Lin sings really high...because he take higher octave than Ayu...lovely duet...

That's a cute perfomance. I think Ayu did a good job and I like how she tried to support him after he messed up the lyrics.

I quite liked it.

He doesn't know Japanese, right? His pronunciation was really good for someone who doesn't know the language.

edit: I listened to some of his songs on itunes. I usually don't like Ayu's collaborations but he has some good stuff. I'm looking forward to it. I wonder what language(s) they'll sing.

He doesn't indeed! He "only" speaks English and Chinese.

^ Thanks for the info.

I'm impressed. His pronunciation is a lot better than alan's. Knowing English probably helps.

I wonder if Ayu will write the lyrics for their collaboration.

That duet was the most awkward thing I've seen in a long time lmao. I don't think either sounded overwhelmingly good or bad or anything either way, but mannn that was awkward to watch.

Also, I hate when she collabs more than most things so meh. tbh I'm more worried for the song itself because I find most cpop compositions to be... uhhh very lacking to put it nicely lol. Maybe he will surprise me. Then again my expectations are much lower this time around than they were for Colours, since the winter ballad single was the weakest thing she's ever put out alongside LOVE again and we're basically due for Love songs pt 3 this time anyway :\

Ewwwwwwwww it will be ballad, like 100% sure ;/ Damn, 4th ballad...

Do we know if their song will be on Ayu's album or a separate release?

It's not confirmed yet but I guess it will be on her album... He's going to come to Tokyo to shoot a PV with her.
And it would fit the title "A ONE". I think the "A" stands for "Ayu" of course but also "Asia"... Since she always used to say "Asia is One".

yes I collab. I hate that she has so few of them...some songs would be really rocking with a rap or something. her m-flo and urata songs are really awsome

I really like this song!

I think somebody put it in the forum. His voice in this song sounds good and different. I hope the song he composed to Ayu is something like this. The atmosphere remember me Tell Me Why.

yeah, I like her Urata collabs (Why version with Urata is SOOO much better than JUNO one...) bcause they are upbeat...

Ugh I really dislike any collabs she does. That's so disappointing! NOOO

and the video is gone... lol

Never really liked collaborations...but let's see how it turns out to be, I hope he sings in english/japanese in the song

I libe for collabs...from any artist. i woudl dislike so much K-pop songs without one (basicaly the raps)

plus if she will have some english parts....
BRRRRR horrible idea.
