hmm sounds like I'll hate it if you all like Bland & Tasteless better.

For me this song is nothing special...

I like PRIDE, but, again, I need to wait until the full version comes out

It's a funeral song! When somebody close to me will die I will listen to that song! This single is a disaster (and some time ago i was the one who would worship anything ayu releases)... thanks to this song "B&D" seems a lot better... ehhh... ayu... don't release this single...

It's a first ayu single that Iim angry that I;m buying...

Like "B&D", I'm loving it. Mostly because it sounds like a mix of "Free & Easy" and "End roll". A dark ballad. And it sounds G-R-E-A-T. I'm having really high hopes for this new single!!! Everything is so different and definitely awesome!! XD


I wasn't expecting a rock song and I'm kinda glad it isn't one.

So far it sounds decent... I'm not blown away by it, but I really need to hear more than 30 sec with this one~ at least it doesn't sound like B&D >.>

i likey all this chorus stuff... Pride sounds almost show tune-ish ya kno what i mean? maybe Ayu is writing a musical! lol i doubt it but that would be awesome lol

does anyone have lyrics of the preview?

I really like Pride, it's so rare to hear an Ayu song in minor.

I don't think B&D/Pride are terrific songs but hey at least they add some variety to the album instead of the usual pop/rock/ballad mix.

I personally like both songs, as they are different from the other singles and (hopefully) nice additions to the album. Ayu is showing more sides of her music and style to us, NeoDayDream was right in saying it's like a musical. The album is turning out to be like a soundtrack or something lol :) . As for "Pride" the song reminds me of Forgiveness, which is a good thing. I'm wondering if CREA arranged this herself or no...

oh yeha it kinda does~

Pride sounds relli nice i was actually expecting something like this :)

this single is going to be awesome!!!

unlike "bold & delicious" i like "pride" a tad better so far. it's just the chorus people..that..bugs me *eyelids twitter/spaz*.

:trout

STF!!!! you!

seriously. Bland & Tasteless is the nastiest song ever. I can't believe this wench would release something so horrible. It's like .. her suicide single.

Well that's why she screams right after the chorus. Washing all her pains awayyy. :hat

lol, that's what i think too, boring. Well not exactly. Sounds really "old" and ayu used such a low registered voice to sing it.....

I must agree with that B&D is tasteless - at least preview. Choir part doesn't fit to the rest of track and generally arrangement is crummy :rolleyes

However I see most of AHS members like B&D more than Pride. I've noticed also that so many ppls here don't like ballads much :eyebrow (and I though I'm the only one :thud)

Because of 2 so different songs this single surely will be interesting. Release of single like B&D is adventure because single promoting "new style" song + ballad after last single which contained 2 ballad songs included isn't good move. Sale of HEAVEN was low and it was obvious from the beginning because ballad singles always have worse sale than singles with mid tempo tracks and up-beat songs. Releasing of mix-single after ballad single could be finished defeat and if it'll be so then it will influence unprofitable on album sale. But probably Avex count new single will be big success so we must wait and see what will be next :innocent

I like Pride much better! It's something new by Ayumi

"seriously. Bland & Tasteless is the nastiest song ever. I can't believe this wench would release something so horrible. It's like .. her suicide single."

I can't believe you just called here a wench. :\

hahaha, i love how different people's opinions can be. :roflmao
