us sounds pretty good. I'm waiting the full version of tone to get a proper view on it. The start was too abrupt.

i like tone

insane dream (full mv version)

I love the Middle Ages references and the fact that it has a story and a meaning. Great production for both the song and the music video.
Also, the girl with the white hair is really pretty.

Sorry for 4 consecutive posts today, but there are so many Aimer news lately! This is such a great time to be a fan.

Wtf, us is so good, I'm just sitting here gaping and putting it on repeat. Rock gods have truly blessed us, I want 15 more songs like this, this is easily the best Aimer song I've heard yet, hot damn. The atmosphere, the vocals, the production, the progression, it's all so goooood. And the other two songs on the single too! Tbh, I find insane dream the least noteworthy of the bunch because it's the most generic track on the single, but it's still good, and Aimer and Taka work really well together. tone is amazing as well, I thought it was the weakest of the three in the beginning, but I think the song really takes off after the first chrous as the drums come in, and the fuller sound elevates it to a new level. Ahh, so happy I decided to randomly check out this single, Aimer is on top of her game. :heart

Totally agree. us is definitely the best from the single but man, she really did release an amazing single. And I'm glad that I'm not the only one who's excited.
If you like us you should check Dareka, umi wo. It has a similar atmosphere but less rockish.

^ Thanks for the recommendation, but I actually already know Dareka, Umi wo. from back when it came out, and I... don't really like it, something about the song's plodding pace and heavy arrangement is just too much for me. Not sure what makes me like us so much then, since the atmosphere is similar, as you said. :laugh

us music video

insane dream/us single is really good. insane dream can be considered as a generic rock track, it just sounds so great to me. us is Dareka, Umi wo epsiode II. As it was the song that brought me into Aimer's world, I can't hate us. Tone is the weakest song of the single to me. I like the pared-down arrangement but the song is one minute too long for me.

Chouchou Musubi seems to be very forgettable after this fabulous single.

蝶々結び song will be released earlier on iTunes on August 08, 2016.
The song has 2 million+ views on youtube! This is something great for Aimer.

It seems that Aimer is releasing a new album "daydream" on October 16! It's not confirmed yet but all her rumours (Dareka Umi wo.., Brave Shine, DAWN, ninelie etc.) have come true.
