maybe? But you can find other artist's cover of Jidai on Apple Music, like the one from Naoko Ken
if that's not awful enough, the song is not available for purchase on Itunes as well... :no

Oh! I love Naoko Ken and I didn't know she covered that song!

I was kinda hoping Jidai might appear on Spotify on Friday but at this rate maybe I'll be hearing it when it appears on the eventual album!

brener 25th March 2024 10:36 PM

^ i had the exact same thought, i think they won't leave it out of - what i hope to be - her next album..

This is a miss for me. I do not like her vocal technique in the song.

Yes, you can buy it on Ototoy
But I'm not sure if foreigners can buy through Recochoku

They have a preview for it on Apple Music and I thought it was pretty good. I am not familiar with the original version or the original artist, but overall it sounds just how I expect this style of song to sound coming from Ayu.

I do find her voice to be a little strained, but at this point I have kind of accepted that about her at this point.

While paying homage to Miyuki Nakajima's great masterpiece, I worked with the best staff and musicians to express it to the best of my ability.
I would be happy if I could contribute even a little bit to this wonderful drama!

yes, oricon has a weekly streaming chart featuring the top 50 songs, this week the #50th song had over 2 million streams, it would be quite impossible for ayu to make it nowadays :(

Aderianu 4th April 2024 07:55 AM

If the song was available worldwide the numbers would be better

brener 4th April 2024 04:20 PM

would oricon count downloads outsite japan?

That is absolutely insane!

I mean we have to face it that golden era of Ayu is gone. I'm not sure how much of an audience she can gather nowadays when it comes to new people. She's pretty much releasing stuff for the fans rather than new generation. She's a legend, that's all it is.

I have to say though, i don't really get the whole country locked stuff. It's weird to me. Like how much harm could release a song worldwide make??
