You're welcome ^^ I also think it sounds nice.

I had a dream last night that I was listening to the finished song and thought it was nice after all!

I like the new version slightly more, but I still can't see this song become one of my favourite on the next album!

^ You should have recorded the song and shared! Meeeaaan and selfish .... :grumpy :P

I got a similar dream when the first demo was out. It seems Ayu's Fans are linked in the dream world

^I tend to have Ayu dreams whenever things start to move in terms of new releases, I guess my brain is too excited already!

^
^Believe me I was gutted when I woke up because I wanted to listen to it again :D

Is it safe to assume that we will get news fairly soon now? It feels that if she recorded the song for a TV program we should at least have a release window!

^ I expect a release date announced during Osaka shows!

I like the demo, but it does sound like WORDS in parts.

I would be surprised if she doesn’t do the new song during the encore of the Osaka shows and I am also expecting an announcement. They might even put in the release details in the pamphlets they are giving out when you enter the arena.

I hope you guys are right! My body is so ready for a new album!

The song got a new 'version', same name as last one arr#3 but Rough mix minus one at the end of the title.

it's not there for me yet

It'll likely show up later but the Japanese sites have it at the moment.

It's on the italian spotify. It's basically the instrumental. The midi-like piano that there was before now is tuned down and there is the "choir" (in other words Ayu's background voice). The song is shaping up and in a different way I expected while listening the other versions. It's more emotional and sad thn the happy song I was expecting. Because of the back voice we can hear part of the lyrics as well. Unfortunately is just the first couple of minutes though...

I'm really looking forward for the full version now!

INSTRUMENTAL OMG..its coming its coming!!!

SIDENOTE:

I had a dream last night about an Ayu outdoor concert. She was amongst the audience (somehow) and then it rained so hard..the encore dragged and she sang WORDS and petal. And there was an overrun but she was really determined to sing the last song, which was A song is born.

And she announced her new album called [LILAC]. LOL and prior to it, there would be a teaser single called [Purple]. But this is kinda like the TRACK 0 to the album which will act a show case to the album's overall theme. I dunno why I had the idea of this Purple-LILAC

Could someone record it maybe? Would be much appreciated. ♡

It's in the Downloads thread. Aderianu posted it.

Only 1:44 was posted on sites.

It was also added not too long ago to Spotify finally.

Why generasia listing them as digital singles?

:spew

Probably because all these places list them as separate singles in her discography.

It was interesting to see the different stages of production. The instrumental sounds a lot more polished than the previous demos, as expected ^^
