OH MY GOD!
I'm really disappointed everytime she has a safe, cheap sounding and uninspired release. And lately I have not been really happy... but I know sometimes she'll drop a bomb and that's why I'm still here. I know she still can do wonders.

This song is not genius or else but... damn! It is so good!
I was expected something as good as let's say... Sparkle.

DaD already feels unique in her discography. I love everything in it. The voice, the diverse arrangements, the construction...
You can tell this time they put some real efforts and thoughts into it and it shows.

I also haven't been that excited since FLOWERS.

I'm happy to see everybody so pumped about the track, and while I also like it (love the instrumental parts that were in the preview, the bridge etc) I don't know what to think about the chorus yet. I feel like the arrangement doesn't really do justice to the chorus and it sounds a bit off. Maybe a more HQ version will change my mind, I don't know.

I also feels the choruses feel a bit empty. Like something else is missing to give it a BOOM. But the rest is really good.

Can't wait to hear the song and loving reading everyone's thoughts! I'm waiting for it to hit Spotify!

I am PRAYING for a PV, maybe somethig like startin PV

Considering that there was only really one big release since M(A)DE IN JAPAN, I think it just felt like longer or that more had happened since things were soooo spaced out.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Yeeeeeeeees!

This is SO good!!! I loved everything about this :luv2

This is what I thought too. It has the best features of ayu mixed together, even the guitar bridge fits perfectly. Awesome job, let's have a weird PV and get this shit to sell!

Hmmm I think I need to listen to it a few more times before making a set opinion - so far for me it's good, but not outstanding. I like that Ayu has taken a risk with this track, it's certainly more experimental than anything else she's released in a long time. But, I do feel there are parts where the arrangement and structure (the end of the song in particular...just why?) leave one wanting. It's a great start to a new era though, and will undoubtedly be fun to watch live.

The end of the song seems like a Party queen-Lonely queen moment materialized into a song finally as opposed to being live only.

I like it a lot! It definitely has some good surprises.

The HQ version is so, so good... probably going to be putting this on repeat for the rest of the day :tipsy There's so many details to this song, I hear something new every time.

^It sounds fantastic!

I like what I heard :love. I was just afraid that her voice would be too squeaky as in the acapella version, but this actually sounds good.

OMFG
THE QUEEN IS BACK!

And Ayu saved 2020 XD

The song is awesome! Love it ♥ The guitar bridge reminds me a little bit of fairyland, for some reason.

The ending gives me chills.

the perfect lovechild of identity and Song 4 U :luv2
