so, the Hidden track is a remix of Why... ?

I thought it would be another brand new song.. =.=

i didn't expect something like that at all. it made me a surprise when i listened to for the first time. i love the choir <3

^ it's actually not a choir~! Timmy (the composer of BRILLANTE) sang the 'choir parts' :D I asked him on Twitter~

When I first finished listening to BRILLANTE, I got the same kind of feeling that I got back when I first heard Microphone. The feeling that THIS(!) is something so incredibly epic, something so strong it makes me cry. And then the video made me love it even more. Sure, the song got its flaws but it's as amazing as can be in my opinion. This song redeemed the album of FIVE so much for me! But I do feel sorry for the Why... remix that had to be put right after this masterpiece...
I tweeted Tim W on Twitter, complimenting him on his work and asking if he will be working with Ayu again. If his future work with Ayu would be even a fraction as good as BRILLANTE, I would be in heaven. ♥

I love the main track. The hidden track is nice but not as good as BRILLIANTE.

Throughout the first listen my stomach felt all fluttery - I think this song is going to rack up more than a few listens in the next weeks....the Georgian choir is so unusual but oddly fits Ayu so well...not sure about the ending, but maybe like monochrome I'll just have to look for songs to "join" it to myself in playlists!

Can't wait to see the PV - this is an amazing song, for sure :3

I have been waiting for E G G as a hidden song for a while. ._.

Songs like BRILLANTE remind me of Ayu's versatility and depth as a musician. I love it. It's like an enriched version of BALLAD with the epicness of Duty or do it again.

The video, to say the least, seems quite... pompous. I enjoyed it though.

I've had it on repeat since I downloaded it<3
It's PURE EPIC. Doesn't really beat progress imo, but I love it for sure.
And the Pv.. ;~~~; My GOD, made me order the CD+DVD immediately after watching it~

i really can't wait to hear it!

best song on FIVE for me still is ANother song, but BRILLANTE is nice, it reminded me on i am era somehow. I understand why people call this epic, but my ranking would be totally different, like this: ANother song>>beloved>progress>Why...>BRILLANTE. Im very happy 'bout this mini album, every track is amazing imo. to be OT lol Im glad BRILLANTE is different in its own right.

The first 45 seconds had me really excited. But in the end, it didn't blow me away like it's blowing away everyone else lol

I think this song is just further proof that fans worry about her musical creativity for no reason. I'm happy Ayu doesn't churn out epic music every single time because it makes songs like this that much more breath-taking. It's what makes her signature music signature, if her entire discography were full of BRILLANTE's or Microphone's or Do it again's then the songs wouldn't stand out as much and they wouldn't be able to showcase how truly magnificent they are. Ayu always has one mind-blowing, orgasm-inducing song on each album, FIVE is no exception with BRILLANTE. Bravo Ayu, you did it again ;)

holy christ what an amazing song.

Hahahaha... She should just make it happen. Seriously. It's been a running joke for years now :P

I think BRILLANTE is THE best song on FIVE. I got goosebumps the first time I listened to it!

it reminds mi of "forgiveness" but a darker version of it. love the arrangement. and how it's different from the rest of the tracks in FIVE. great way to end the album =)

Oh.. I really love that song.
I really didn't thought, Brilliante would be like this.

I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED with her latest PV , it's different with RNRC album that she was make new hits. PROGRESS is great song but the PV seems like low-budget video clip.. BRILLANTE --- she's using hot man but i don't know what the concept.....
why.... pretty nice
another song... pretty nice

The INTRO!!! AHHH!!!! It literally froze me in place when I heard it! this is probably going to be my favorite track on FIVE. I hope Wellard can compose more songs for ayu in the future :)

Holy ****ing **** I LIKE IT!!!! :weep
This is the first ayu song I've liked since talkin' 2 myself!!

I think it's a really beautiful song, her voice sounds a lot better than it has in anything else I've recently heard, and it's just overall a really great song! :heart

who's singing in Why... remix song, is it JUNO or Nao?!

*OMG, he totally ruined the song!!:eviltongu:eviltongu:eviltongu
