Nice example :D

Wow this is really different from what I expected. I wonder if this was the CREA song she talked about in her messages. It reminds me very much of Ladies Night in regards to the distortion and synthesizers. I'm not sure if I like it very much though. I think it's a good song and catchy as hell but I'm not feelin' it like I do when I listen to some of her other stuff.

i feel that this song is only average..

yes the music does make me wanna dance with it. but it doesnt make me sing with it.. the verses were monotonous...

I feel like it's a fusion of LOVEppears' Techno-Pop and GUILTY's Rock genres, which is great for me because those are my favorite albums.

Very well put. This is exactly how I feel. Monotonous is the word. I don't like how her voice is basically static in regards to the distortion. There's little to no change in it throughout the whole song. I get really jaded with each listen.

A+! So much better than Rule.

I like this song alot especially the whole no no thing and the last chorus.

All I gotta say..are those No's..

..*happy sigh*

I like it, but I think I'm still...digesting. I'm not too sure if I'm going to LOVE it or just think "it's different." I'll have to listen to it over a few days, I think.

I don't like how it starts and I actually am not that fond of the "no no no" part like everyone else is. I REALLY like the chorus and wish it were longer.

Where is everyone getting this idea of "erotic" or "sensual" lyrics? From what I understand, it's a pretty typical "stop standing around and change your future" kind of message. I don't see a single erotic thing in there.

way better than rule! :yes

horrible single covers, one horrible a-side.. but sparkle saved the single from being complete crap.

the chorus is my favorite part.

I don't know if I'll like this after hearing it for a while; but I'm really glad it excists! This is a great addition to Ayu's many faces and styles. Especially the soft parts before the chorusses are awesome. Wow what a weird song

yep i agree with juicy

the covers werent the best, etc

but Sparkle is just too good :D


even if someone personally didnt like it, doesnt mean that the song is bad

the song is just great, no matter what a hater could say :D:D:D

I love this song! :luv2 It feels like something off of loveppears but more remixed and modern. I'm happy with all the songs released so far for NEXT LEVEL. Thanks ayu!~

I heard the entire song,
And the lyrics posted on all websites seem to be slightly off..
But still, very true to the songs lyrics, the verses sound still a bit rude, and really unlike her messages in the past.

The song sounds like this:

EDIT: AHHH
I made a mistake.. I wrote stop instead of start for the chorus.. I am sorry..
It's a bit late.. 2:30 am in here... T_T
Sorry.

Look, over there, there's some hot and cute boys,
And the girls they are with tonight,
They've all taken a break from acting strong.

Feel it with your body,
In the way of your heart.

The beautiful voice in your head
(I can't understand what she says...)
So in that time, you should
Give your body to the beat.

It doesn't start with just staring,
It won't/can't (can't hear it properly) become your's.
Until when do you plan to do that,
And be sucking your thumb? No no no,

Don't get into a defensive,
Try to show me your offensive,
If it's possible or not,
Who's standard is that, and where are they? (dont know how to translate this one well.. it literally says "Who of where's standards is it?")

Be more daring, until you are shameless.

And after, if you do regret after,
Then that's an ordinary small talk.
If you obey this beat that you hear,
Then it's not a mistake.

If you do it only half way, then it doesn't tell me anything.
If you don't try to touch, then I don't understand.
Until when do you plan on doing that,
And be seized with fear? No no no

It doesn't start with just staring,
It won't/can't (again can't hear it properly) become your's.
Until when do you plan to do that,
And be sucking your thumb? No no no

If you do it only half way, then it doesn't tell me anything.
If you don't try to touch, then I don't understand.
Until when do you plan on doing that,
And be seized with fear? No no no

For me, it's too Koda Kumi.
TOO Koda Kumi for sure.

These lines she uses..
Defensive, offensive..
And the beat thing..
It sounds in the club, and she wants some guy to get with her, etc, etc
And he is too shy, so she wants he to attack her.. etc...
At least, it sounds like this way to me.

At first, I liked the beat, and the sound, but after listening to it, to get the words,
I am so tired of this song.. ahaha.
It's a bit repetitive.. actually.. a lot repetitive.. ahaha.
I love Rule more..
Also mainly because the message in Rule is very good and cool~
This one is just.. whatever.
It sounds like a remix~~ ahaha.

But as I said, many people here love these sexual and Koda Kumi like things.

But I already rejected one Koda Kumi..
I hope Next Level isn't all like this message.

I was watching my Stadium Tour dvd today..
Ahaha.. I cannot believe the same person made these lyrics..
Those days seem so far away~

hahaha
maybe she wrote the song together with her best friend Koda kumi LOL


koda has always being "naughty", all her musical career is based in sexual-related songs,

why cant ayu have one sexy song at least?!?



i found it very selfish not to acept that shes a woman with sexual desires as any other human being!

plus shes young still, i prefer her singing songs like this NOW, not in 20 years eek lol

O_O

But anyway, I quite like the song, it's definitely different fron all the songs that she made for the past 2-3 years. I wonder how japan will react to the ayu-writing-koda-lyrics though.

Maikaru, thank you for clearing up those lyrics! I was having trouble understanding a lot of what she was saying. I KNEW I heard something about hot "boys" at the beginning, haha! They are very different from her usual tone, that's for sure.

one of her best songs in a lonmg time! just amazing!

Amazing. I love that every couple of years Ayu does something that gets me totally hyped. This is just the kind of techno/dance influence I like. Best song since my favourite Secret album-only tracks. I've got such high hopes for NEXT LEVEL now.
