I think it's ok, it'll probably grow on me. However... While her voice sounds fine in the chorus, it is NOT good in the verses. Might be due to her trying to do her cute voice, but still. She should really rid herself of that, she sounds like a smoked-out 60 year old whiskey-fiend, and given that she's almost in her mid-thirties, it is no longer cute. At all.

sounds great to me. don't know what y'all are talkin about haha.

truehappiness 30th May 2011 11:01 AM

Sounds AMAZING.

I don't think she's necessarily trying to do a cute voice... that's just how she sounds.

thatstacey 30th May 2011 11:10 AM

What's with all the comments about it being a ~grower? That chorus is amazing.

truehappiness 30th May 2011 11:28 AM

It sounds more to me like the song grows on you the minute you hear the chorus, haha.

Mmmm, dem strings.

fuawas 30th May 2011 11:32 AM

Love the instrumental and the chorus. Really can't wait!!
I hope they announce the single officially soon ^^

freedreamer 30th May 2011 11:53 AM

POWER OF MUSIC!!! (Leslie Kee better create something AMAZING out of this song if this was her NEXT single)

i like the music and the chorus. it's definitely an "ayu" song.

TITANIC 30th May 2011 12:34 PM

it sounds like blossom. I love it but prefer a dancy track rather than her regular pop

^ This. :laugh

I honestly thought it was just some epic strings piece from the RPG itself, but then Ayu starts singing and I was literally like... THIS IS PROGRESS?!?! :thud

So much epicness. I can hear the similarities to blossom but this isn't nearly as summer-poppy; it's much more on the epic side. The chorus, like someone said earlier on, has much more of a hook than a lot of recent Ayu songs, and the verses are just so tranquil and... 'magical' almost. I'm really really excited about this song. :love

YUKARI 30th May 2011 12:51 PM

I like this! chorus and last part sounds so powerful!!

jiarongisme 30th May 2011 12:52 PM

HEAVEN and part of Me wha-?

The verse was meh, kinda lost hope, then BOOM. EPIC CHORUS.

hidekirby 30th May 2011 01:00 PM

Sounds like an anime opening or something like that, something "epic" and catchy but unoriginal and eventually bland.
I may be wrong though.

Can't wait to hear more of it.


Thank you!

This is exactly what I think!

koumori 30th May 2011 01:01 PM

Aah! I love it. :)

Choyan 30th May 2011 01:03 PM

Hmmm I like it overall!

The orchestral/instrumental part before ayu's vocals come in, I thought it was EPIC... xD
And then the verses someone sounded a little out of place ..
and then the chorus was great :D XD

I suppose if we heard the verse while not watching the video would be nicer (or full song~).... I think....it's that disjointness (?) of her vocals in the verses that made it odd along with that melody

hope EU don't change this theme like it was with FFXIII and White Knight Chronicles :headache
