I'm curious as to who the arranger for blossom is. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's HAL with the piano introduction, bell sounds and strings. I think tasuku might be another option...it'd be funny if it's neither.

That might be true, but if it is then I want to thank them for not ruining it this time, lol.
It really seems too good to be HAL though, in my opinion.

[copied from last thread]
The Microphone remix reminds me a lot of that Depend on you Remix from the Ay-u-mix CM (that one with Ayu turning from her from the club cover to her from the acoustic cover). I think it's the Dub's Electro Remix if I'm not mistaken.

[new]
I am totally loving MOON. It reminds me of something you would hear on I am... or ASFXX like everyone said. I love the nostalgic feel and concept of it (as what I thought from the video.)
blossom is just plain beautiful. Just freaking perfect almost.

so anxious for Don't look back remix!

I just listened to the single, and it is GREAT ! One of her greatest summer single ever ! Not asgood as &, of course, but really awesome ! blossom is almost perfect as a summer song ! And MOON is better than many RnRC ballads imo !

I think blossom was arranged by Yuta. The strings are too Yuta-y, haha.

wow.i think the blossom,the CD version is far different from the CM version.CM version sounds more energetic than CD version.what do you guys think?

Whoa... MOON takes up about five and three-quarter minutes (that's long again!), while blossom takes only about four minutes or so...

I don't think there was much of different...we were just exposed to the CM version for a while which makes us hope that the song would be very energetic and such~~:yes

i see.i think i need to listen to blossom few more times :P
wow.surprisingly Microphone's remix sound much more nicer than i expected!i think this should be better than don't look back XD

now i wanna watch MOON PV and yeah blossom PV too xDD

The LOWBROWS remix was really bad lol. I hope the REGGAE DISCO ROCKERS one is better.

I am so the opposite, I really love all the works HAL does for Ayu... all the remixes are great, especially Boys and Girls and Audience... I don't understand the hate for HAL ahaha.

Maybe I'm one of the ones who really loves Step You remix, the DJ TAKI-***** one, so I am really looking forward to Don't Look Back, because they sound similar.

^ I liked the STEP you one too besides the random guys in there.. I hope there aren't any in the DLB one too..

nooooo~im soooo loving the Step You remix too :yes i always want Ayu to sing it live lol,it's just epic!

but for me DLB remix sounds more like It Was ISLAND REMIX :D

I hope the DLB remix has that feel ^____^

And I don't understand HAL hate either

Heehee I don't really care for remixes so I'm just excited for when I get to hear MOON and blossom in full :heart

Yea agree with truehappiness..there's something Yuta about the strings yet that magical feeling is somethng HAL creates..maybe we just scored a collaboration. HAL did t2m as well, so rock is not an issue.

im so glad everyone is feeling so much for the single! i wanna listen to it again :)

oh yes...i kinda forgot about the PVs lol!

the Microphone remix sort of reminds me of talkin' 2 myself X stonebridge

lol yeah I keep forgetting about some things too since there's so much with this single.. and then I almost forgot about the CDL DVD.. I can't wait for that! So much stuff to look forward to. There would be even more to look forward to if we got lives/magazine shoots.. but oh well. Maybe with the next one?

ô that...hahha..never was on my mind.. o dear.
cant wait to watch the PV omg..i just want the PV

I loooove Blossom is the perfect rock ballad can't wait for the pv

it's just a matter of time for the PV to be leak XDD

i cant waiittt!how is the ending?and what happen actually??too much questions stuck in my head lol~

MOON is just so easy a ballad to listen to. I love it. Very much

But I really love how blossom is that way too. So soft and mellow but still summery and refreshing. I loves this single

And oh my....the cdl does come out doesn't it. :)

Is it me or does MOON have a Moments feeling? .o.

for me, it has a song for xx feeling, it's like a warmer version of it.

A song for xx is about a person getting lost, and trying to be strong
Moon is a song to someone who lose hope

that's why I love moon soooo much.

Whoever say that they are not feeling this single/complaining that it's weak, and cancel their order, I wonder how are theyvfeeling now? I just don't like it when people order it, and cancel them for stupid reasons, at least wait till the rips are out!!!

anyway,still don't really like blossom.my opinion is,her voice doesn't blend well into the music.

Sort of, I feel like it's not as repetitive as Moments though. But I love both ballads a lot.

I feel that MOON sounds more like ASFXX~ But I can see where you would see Moments in there too~~ They all have beautiful meanings :heart

personally to me both A-sides combined elements of her older works & that both songs have modern twits/spins to it

not that it's a bad thing as I really enjoy what I have heard

I want to hear the 3 remixes now T-T

When I heard blossom I felt like that's something that could really be in A Song for xx just with an older fashioned arrangement. xD
Especially the verses.

I think if you cancel a release just because you don't like the covers is ridiculous

so you mean you only will buy something if the covers are great but if the material suck ?

erm hypocrite much ? :o

I like the covers a lot & the previews ...can´t wait to get a good big image for a wallpaper...n__n

If someone cancels their order because the covers are bad, they better be using those other covers as wallpaper or something.

Downloaded the Single. It's a good single I must admit. blossom isn't that impressive...I think it's more like a spring song than summer song. MOON reminds me of No way to say but it's definitely better than You were...

PS: I cover the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tg7mia6naec

This was cut by the uploaders, not by avex.

MOON just became more intense as a song after watching the PV WHICH WAS CUT AT A CLIMATIC MOMENT OMG...this PV is weird!!!...i dont get the plot at all..it's definitely linked..

and i think there is a problem with the rip

i think the full will be leaked tomorrow?since i believe some of us should be receiving this single tomorrow

@freedreamer:the uploader cut the ending.its not that this PV doesn't has ending.lets wait a little longer,when some of us here got the cd and upload it

m... I think that's not a problem
Our Chinese friends can not spread rips before the official release
But they give us chanse to watch a little longer preview =)

Is the rest of remixes leaked? Oh wait, I check it myself.
So what's the deal with MOON PV: it's cut by uploaders or not?

^ it was cut by uploaders

How get the chinese persons this preview and the making of? just wondering

AHHH! Those needed spoiler alert! I still havent seen the preview of moon or listened to anything off the single XP i had to skip through the images quickly :3
how come people can get the single tomorrow when it only officiall comes out on wednesday?

:hi5 I'm glad~! A lot of people didn't like it because of the short preview but now we are getting longer previews and pictures and people like it more ;) I'm glad that there are some people who loved it from the beginning~!!! :heart

I hope the whole thing gets leaked tomorrow! I can't wait to see it (*o*)

I don't like MOON so much. It sounds meh atm. But I like the PV since the 'omgsoboooring' preview :laugh

Looks really good and interesting, I can't wait to watch it! (when download will finished lol)

blossom is everything RED LINE should have been LOL in my opinion maaan

^
blossom and RED LINE are way different to be compared, even if they sounds like her early works than others new songs from her.

blossom is a awesome and cute summer song.
RED LINE is a awesome and cute concert-ending song lol.

I Hope we can get the FULL PV soon!!!!!

Do you think there will be a surprising ending ? That could be the reason for which the uploader cut the PV !

Ok.....I said before the PV looked boring from the preview....but it looks a ton more interesting now....poor Ayu....having to sit through having that black crap poured all over her face x_x. The resulting effect was awesome though.

Ayu is stunning in the making off specially with cacoa >< She is very professional during the scene with black oil =O I'm very proud of her !

The PV seems amazing very weird atmosphere I LOVE ! She acts very good but I want the end she needs to be incredible ! MOON is stronger with this pv !

==> What happens with promotion ??!! No mags, no TVs ?? What is Avex doing !

That was oil? @_@ Imagine if some idiot was smoking a cigarette next to her while they were filming that.....

Actually it's because that uploader don't know how to rip video from dvd, that's what he said in the original thread :(

Oh man, I just can't stop staring at those pics of Ayu sitting there with the ink all over *blinks eyes repeatedly* ...wow. I would never be able to sit through that, lol :laugh Ayu is so brave! I would be scared to not be able to breathe! (x_______x)

Ayu is doing this PV on her experiences with BP. :P
