Just heard the full version and I have to say that Pray has definitely matched the epicness of her early Classics i.e Heaven - definitely one of the best she has put out recently.

I can't wait to see/hear more about what's being planned for this single!

d'aww, is that her and her fiancee together? If so, that's cute. She looks really nice.

She looks beautiful, but I feel like the way the bust area of her dress fits is strange. Maybe it's just me, though.

Awww Ayumi and her fiancé look lovely together! Pray sounds nice too.

Thanks for video! I like Ayu, she is pretty and attentive.

You'd think with the length of the song it'd become boring but it's absolutely beautiful and keeps my attention every listen. This type of ballad is rare. I'm impressed :o

lol, i heard "HANABI" melody in "Pray" (after 5:30)

I can barely tell that the song is 6 minutes long~

I wonder if Ayu wanted to hint at a connection to HANABI with that little bit near the end.

OMG i didn't even realize...that seriously has that same chords like HANABI...*thud* I AM SOOOOOO SLOWWW~

Such a incredible song! She continues to bring us so many perfect ballads (sakura, ivy...)

Who keep says does not like the latest releases simply "Got tired of Ayumi Hamasaki"

LOVE THIS SONG (like what I've said in the other thread)

any word saying this will come with a PV or anything?

like Song 4 U, tied with a video game and still gets a PV itself :D

^hopefully, i will be very mad if there is no PV for Pray

it HAAAAS to have a PV if she promotes this properly she can have a mini hit on her hands XD

the first stanza reminds me of disney's hercules theme song. epic :D

I hope for a PV,too.

And since it is a single (I know only a digital one) I think there will be a PV on the next album or maybe like Namie did it included in the next single.:yes

I thought I'm the only one haha, they do sound pretty alike. I still prefer Ayu's more :heart

Kunio Tago u're amazing :)

Me too!!!!!

Hmmm. True.

Moreover... did you notice that the raspy pitch in Ayumi's voice during 05:25 to 05:29 is highly reminiscent of her Duty album era?

The full version of "Pray" is just so beautiful. I love it! :love It's totally one of ayu's best ballads.

I definitely like the song the more I listen to it! But it hasn't worked its way to one of my favorite ballads yet. But DEFINITELY one of my favorite arrangements, omg it's so GORGEOUS!

Finally a ballad I don't mind

Oscar best music nominations 2015 please!

The more I listen to it the more I love it. ayu you scored, girl.

Yes, Pray is the true masterpiece ! I have only listened to this song for 4 days ! <3

^hahaha same here, definitely entering my top 10 fav ayu's songs

looping Pray everyday now! and the more I listen to it the more I think the arrangement is epic and if you watch Buddha1 you will know how the feeling surrounding this movie, so it really suits the Buddha2

ps: the theme song for Buddha 1 is nothing close to this xD

I don't know if this will work itself into my favorite list (my favorites are mostly ballads, so it's got some stiff competition...) BUT I do love it!

I have to agree with you all, its been ages since a ballad hit me like this one! at first i thought it was generic and i do admit it sounds similar to a lot of the songs on love again but but but this one does it so well! I can't hold it against it! and the lyrics are so beautiful! the song is perfect! and like ppl said even if its 6 minutes long it feels so short and it never feels like it drags on! beauty GUH ayu <3

now grant us a beautiful pv to go with it

I wonder why no news was about the release of Pray (Pv+ disc) !
I need the PV so bad !
I will crazy if there isnt Pray's PV or performance!

Haha then it's just me who still trying to like this song..

im not holding high hopes for the PV HAHAHAH but i adore the song and hope for the best it can get.

theres nothing on her YT channel too hhmm

man really, Im longing for a beautiful,moving,epic PV for this

not that I wanna have high hope for that but I still can dream, who knows... :thud

More than 100 plays in 5 days!! 100 plays for a song which length more than 6 minuts!

I think Pray is one of my fav ballads

I Just want a PV! It would be a shame if a song as good as Pray doesn't have a video..

Well, Ivy doesn't have a PV either

Well i don't like Ivy so i didn't mind haha

Pray DESERVES a PV. It's the only thing it's missing.
Give it a PV right now.

I'm pretty sure Pray will have a PV, but it'll probably be only on the album? Because that's one of her promotional song, so it's almost a given that it'll have a PV

It's been so long since I've listened to Ayu but Pray is a good place to start(got it on American iTunes).

"beloved" and "how beautiful you are" song so nice, but pv so boring! so, unless is a high budget pv, or else i prefer she put more effort when perform this in tour.

^ 'how beautiful you are" pv is boring? Really? Are you serious? XD
I bawled my eyes out to that. It's the ultimate hymn of love for EVERYONE, despite our flaws and those things which society use against you to hurt you and make you feel like you're worth nothing. The pv is very beautiful imo.

I don't like both songs and i think the PVs are OK

You just listed two of my favourite PVs from Ayu, lol. They're exactly the proof singers can do a nice work with simplicity, imo.

Really? I really love that song. It is one of her best songs for me.
I want a PV for Pray and Ivy.
