When chorus came up, DANG! "Wrecking Ball"!!!!!

Sometimes her voice is off. Not so fond of it.

Offputting and boring
On the second verse after the first chorus she abruptly started Ahahahaaaaing(1:30 mark) like she didn't have anything else to say :-D

I have to agree with this. This is the only song out of the new ones I find really painful to listen to.

Now when someone mentioned Beyonce.... Angel gives me the same vibes like Halo does. I was thinking it reminds me of something.
I love Angel the most from the new ones. The chorus is a bit repetetive and there could be a bit of a change in the arrangement for the climax, but i love how it goes BOOM into the chorus. And the lyrics are great. Ayu sounds lovely too. I am really looking farward to see how it turned out live and what kind of video it is going to get.

The song is surprisingly good, minus the vocals until the last part of the song.
Then she sings decently and the OOOH part doesn't sound that painful lol.

It is quite good and not a plain balad as usual and that is what I like. Also it is not an overlong balad so it is à good thing.

On the other hand it reminds me A LOT of Wrecking Ball. Hope she won t be naked in the video ;-)

And yes at the end of the second verse she could have written more lyrics instead of just "ahahahaaaaa" it sounds out of place and awkward

its just reminded me to Fireworks, the beginngin,the instrumental is something like "do you ever feel like a plastic bag.." you know if you remember that part,, and yeah the chorus starting from the "ahahahahahah~~ah~ha hoooooohooooo~~" its just doesnt suited with Ayu's weak voice.

this song sounds so western

Sorry to burst your bubble. u_u
Maybe we should do a mashup of both songs? Son idénticas! :P

A little boring, hope it will grow on me.

ah! There it is, it's like a Beyonce song in a good way, it's nice to see Ayu trying something different with her vocals. Did she NAIL it like Beyonce, not quite, but she still did great.

NICE IDEA :cool!
i know is already a mushup mix of W.Ball with "Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compare"

edit: i just found it

Eh...the song would be perfect if they cut out the second half of the chorus because that's where it gets off and weird. The part where she is singing lower.

I actually like the verses and first part of the chorus where her voice is higher.

But that second half. just ugh. It almost ruins the song. Ayu doesn't really seem to be able to properly sing that way. It's gross.

I think it's nice...although I wish they had done some things differently. I was so happy at the intro, and then she started singing....and then that sort of slow heavy beat came in.

They could have done so many interesting things with this arrangement, yet they decided on this beat. I get the feeling I think they wanted...but it makes the song somewhat generic. It's what's giving everyone the Wrecking Ball feel.

The composition is also weird. Why didn't they do something catchy that flowed well for the verses?

I like the concept, but her voice is not powerful enough to carry this song. It's not even that pretty because she's straining so much, can't control her tone, and there's no where for her to take this awful composition.

The song can never build upon itself no matter how hard she tries (and fml she is trying HARD and so is the arrangement), but the notes can't flow. They just jump around weird places and their impact is lost.

lulz and then here at the end they're trying these harmonies to make it sound nice, but...it just doesnt lol


Their heart was in the right place, and I'm happy that it's not a typical ayu sounding song, but. idk. A for effort. C+ for the song.

The ooooohh lalala sounded lazy...but then I thought: wow it's kinda somewhat original hahaha I love the song btw!

Excellent song. I'm so happy that Ayu didn't succumb to saying the producers name in the beginning of this song, or for that matter, any of the non-Japanese producers. I hate it when singers do that (Ex: Mike Will on Miley Cyrus's entire Bangerz album). To me it would of cheapened it had she done it.

The part of 1:30 is actually one of my favorites. hahaha
I see the complaining, but I think there's no need to have lyrics in every part of the music, in this part specifically is where her emotion flows into the song imo
Sometimes just the sound makes the lyrics.

I'm thinking what you all would think if you hear "Ah" from Superfly xD

I LOVEEE THE SONG, so surreal
