oooh, it catches my attention more than ohia no ki even with just the acapella, can't wait to hear more!

I know it's part of the remix campaign but they didn't include it for all the other acappellas.

Probably because the general tone/pace of those songs was known. With this, we still don't have the actual song.

They added 7 more songs to their selection!

So excited for new music! This sounds interesting and can’t wait to hear the full song next week!

It feels kinda weird that she's releasing new music again. I got so used to having no new material.

I’m gonna prepare my wallet in case we get to see the release of a new album + ayumix 8 + all unreleased concerts. I’m getting that special edition.
We can be pretty sure that something is coming this year or next.

I feel the same :tipsy I'm still processing...
The new track already sounds amazing and we don't even have anything but a short acapella. I'm so ready for the full version already-

Transcribed lyrics from Twitter. Seems to be poker or chess themed with 'kings and queens' and cards.

For remixers. It's why the chord version also exists.

I did a very rough translation, because I'm at work and had to do it in like not even two minutes under the table with my phone so that no one would notice :laugh , I hadn't time for a better one, but I hope this is ok for a first impression. ;)

Old things and nostalgic things
Where do you draw the line?

A King who can't be used and
A Queen that is no longer used

Its a little like a place where one belongs or a settlement
Within my heart
Hey, so far
For some reason or another I have to arrange the used cards

After I smashed it and when it broke into pieces
I went down on my knees, even though it is an ungainly thing to do
While crying I want to collect the pieces

Not giving up, fighting, embracing eacht other
That's right, like this
Now, together
Dreaming a dream

We also have a bit of a translation from remove-mom at the Discord!

Where does one draw the line between old things and nostalgic things?
The kings that I'm no longer able to use, or the queens that I no longer use

The place where things belong in my heart, or where I should put things
Hey, the cards I've done whatever with up until now -- I need to lay them out

Everything was smashed to pieces, and I was on my hands and knees saying it was fine
Crying while wanting to gather them all back up, I can't give up

Embracing one another after fighting
Saying that's just how it is
In that way
Even now
We're dreaming the same dream

furui mono to natsukashii mono wa doko de RAIN hiiteku?
tsukaenaku natta KINGU to tsukawanaku natta KUIIN da toka

chotto kokoro no naka no ibasho da toka okikata da toka
nee koko made nantonaku ni shiteta KAADO no haichi shinakucha

konagona ni kudakechitta ato buzama demo ii to haitsukubatteta
nakinagara hiroiatsumetetai akiramerarenakute

kenka shite dakiatte
sonnan datte
sou yatte
ima datte
issho no yume wo yume ni miteru

古いものと懐かしいものはどこでライン引いてく?
使えなくなったキングと使わなくなったクイーンだとか

ちょっと心の中の居場所だとか置き方だとか
ねぇ　ここまでなんとなくにしてたカードの配置しなくちゃ

粉々に砕け散ったあと無様でもいいと這いつくばってた
泣きながら拾い集めてたい　諦められなくて

喧嘩して抱き合って
そんなんだって
そうやって　
今だって
一緒の夢を夢に見てる

It's an interesting idea to release an acapella first to see how people interpret the song or remix it without being influenced by the original song/instrumental hehe

can`t wait! this song amazing!

Sounds so good!! :luv2

I think the title is stupid and TK can go both ways.
The acapella was a pleasant surprise tho, but way to cute in the verses.

Good stuff but i honestly am not too impressed by either or the songs. I do like the chorus kn this one, i just hope it builds up.

I do love the cover, though.

UGH FOLKLORE WHO!? IDK HER SHE LOOKS SO GOOD

It's a nice idea, first they stroke people with gentle, loving ayu and then follow it up with a rather fierce Ayu.

Sounds promising, especially the latter half! Not really a fan of how she over-articulates in the beginning, but I'm definitely curious about hearing the whole thing.

I really like the first line, "Where to draw the line between old and nostalgic?" Very fitting for a Ayu and Komuro song lol.

MEGA download links of the acappellas if needed!
