I also though of Kana but was afraid of talking about it and getting a bit... Judged :laugh Specially cause she's doing that "Zutto zutto" thing that Kana usually does with her ballads and lately Kuu also, but also the melody and the way she's using her voice tone... idk, its so generic it's more Kana than ayu

No it doesn't. Last minute is actually rock it seems. Last Links is NOT rock. Idk

If anything, it's reminiscent of count down.

^ The drums sounds a lot like Last Links and the melody doesn't appeal that much to me... just like Last Links :C

Thank me later

OMG.... LAST MINUTE SOUNDS AMAZING...well at least the chorus. It makes me think of memorial address for some reason! I hope the whole song will be good! JESUS i really love this bit!

I'm not liking these previews... Ayu's voice sounds forced on Last Minute, but I agree with artcika! The chorus reminds me of Memorial Address. I think maybe the same people who composed it?

All the previews sound great--her voice sounds really nice, too. :D

wowwow slow down lol I can't get past Last Minute's 15 seconds and you are throwing short versions here xD

Zutto seriously now reminds me of petal a lot. Her vocals are fine. But i cannot say i trully love the track to bits. It's nice though.

Walk got me with the first 10 seconds. Except the lalalas. But the melody really sounds lovelly. I really love how it builds up. It's quite a good track. I'm digging this! And her vocals sound nice too!

Last Minute just killed me. Best track in the whole single. There's quite a bit of emotion in it it seems, that I never really heard before in her songs. PERIOD. BEST TRACK. WOW.

so Zutto is by far the weakest piece of music on here. But I actually do like the whole thing.

Ayu, i apploud you. GOOD JOB. LAST MINUTE is basicly the best thing that happened since......i don't know when lol like this is exactly what i fell in love with Ayu for.
Also i don't know why but Walk and Last Minute gives me a strong GACKT feeling too. I like it!

Yes!! Last minute>>>>walk>>>>Zutto...

I normally love tracks when I hear the first 30 seconds, but I can't say the same. :'( I feel sad when I'm the black sheep out of the bunch. Lol

Wait everyone listened to the 1-2 minute previews right?

^^lol it's alright. I've used to be that one all the time, it's been a while since i wasn't lol

^i did.lol


Man, Last minute needs a music video.

Lol I'm going to force myself to listen to them over and over again until I like them!!! :D Lol I listened to all three already and I can see Last Minute growing on me just, because of the Memorial Address sound! XD

Edit: artcika you felt the GACKT sound also? It immediately reminded me of GACKT's sound!

omg Zutto... sounds incredible. reminds me a bit of 'Wishing,' which has been a favorite of mine recently.

^lol yeah like i was totally expecting his voice to come next xD i think it's the arrangements.

Do any of these songs even have melodies?????????? lol

My thoughts...

Zutto... is probably my favorite. It's nothing to be excited about at all, but it's decent enough for a song she's done 3000 times. It starts off totally BALLAD 2 and then goes off in some weird direction because the melody, like most of the melodies on this single, is drunk driving blindfolded.

Last minute is a hot mess. Did they even try to mix the backing vocals in??? It reminds me of count down and that song is a hot mess. I don't think it's horrible, just... not really that worthy of existing. I guess the same goes for Zutto... though.

Walk is so dramatic wow lol. Definitely the worst composition of the single, so this must be the TK song??? I can't even find the melody, I'm done trying.

There's nothing really awful here but honestly everything is SO boring and safe and overall the melodies and compositions are just confused and bland. Like I can't even really tell what emotion she's trying to convey in these songs anymore... lol

I love hearing the breaths in between the words in Last minute. It definitely makes it more emotional.
