The Far away thing is the sound you can hear in the start of Far away, it's something electronic i think.

from the 0:00 to 0:35 you can hear what I think people say. In moon it's not so clear that sound but I still can heard it. If not the same, it's sooooo similar :yes

I kind of hear it, but it's not as annoying as it is in Far away. That part of the song actually ruins Far away for me.

^ OMG it pretty much ruins the song for me, too--so annoying!! >.< And that reminds me of this time I was playing the song - a very rare time, indeed - and my husband was sitting beside me.... About half way through the song, he looks at me and he says, 'HOLY **** WHAT IS THAT NOISE???? IT'S SO ANNOYING! :mad' Lol.

lol that was like my reaction when I first heard it.. I was like "seriously? is this a joke? this can't be the official song.. it's so annoying". Luckily ayu came out with an acoustic version of that song without that noise.

Omg, I love that. It's like some guy saying "down, down, pull it down" it sounds like - lol. But I really like Far away. I'm not listening to any rips of MOON until the single releases in high quality.

I like FA verses only, her vocal/maybe melody of chorus (and the beginning) it's annoying for me (all these shiku iku ~ shiku actually sounds like "pee" in my language.) I don't have anything against the music, and it's pretty simmilar to MOON, but not so "omg it sound just like this!11oneone".

Wow such hate for Far away. :no
I think I like it so much because it took me a while to appreciate it but now I really adore it.

SEASONS > Far away > vogue

I like MOON. I didn't get that "WOW"-factor from it though... but I feel like I robbed that of myself by playing the preview and the live version so much. :( The choruses are really good but the verses are kind of lacking. I really like this song though. :) I'm hopeful for blossom too! :D

I can't imagine a PV for MOON at all... hopefully, that's a good thing. :)

I had the same feeling while I listening to MOON.
Actually, I like it. The arrangement its great and I wonder why she did not use this composer more often.
But I didn't get the 'WOWOMGAMAZINGBESUTSONGUEVERRRRRR' thing though :shrug that's ok.

I can't wait for blossom now *_*!

I know :( Far away hate is so mean. I'm really weird though, I actually like Far away and vogue more then SEASONS

^
the same here.
Far away its such a really good song, more than SEASONS imo.

i don't hear any similarities with far away and moon... O_o. but i don't hear similarities between angel's song and fairyland either--i'm not very good with that stuff i guess haha

i love far away...

I love MOON a lot..
the very beginning reminds me of the opening of rainy day..but then, it rocks!
i love it :)

Unlike everyone else, I thought the live version of MOON was pretty meh... but something told me I'd LOVE the studio version and you know what? It was completely correct. :D

This is gorgeous, just about everything I expected this to be when the single was annonuced. Classic Ayu all the way with some updated vocals. ^^ This is personally the only ballad she's done in a long time that's touched me. I haven't loved or even really liked a ballad she's done since Secret tbph (unless GREEN counts as one... does it? lol) so I'm very very happy with this release. <3333

Moon doesn't beat Jewel, Powder Snow, Voyage, or RAINBOW (and certainly not Hanabi ~episode 2~) in my book but I'll definitely be listening to it a lot more than Sunset/BALLAD/Days and You were... lol

^agree 100%

Her latest ballads have lacked something for me. The only recent one I really love is countdown, because it's really strong.

And MOON sounds so strong too! in a different way though, but the chorus just... Explodes into your head (does that sound odd?)

well anyhow, I'm completely in love with MOON!

The last ballad I liked by Ayu was Together when... and that wasn't that long ago. I really like MOON though!

Me too. :) Seasons is overrated. Far Away > Vogue > Seasons

And btw, I don't hear any similarity between Far Away and Moon.

I hope blossom will leak already. Listened to MOON like 2 times and bored of it.

omg this.

I dunno....I heard this song right after listening to alan's new song....and this song just lacks power...I mean...its good....and its like one of the best songs Ayu has released in a while...but it's just not up to par with some of her older stuff....and this is not bad. The song is good....good stuff....just not AMAZING.
