She almost has a different composer for every track! |
Dimitris Stassos
Katsumi Ohnishi - is he new composer for Ayu? |
I don't think that Katsumi is going to be a new composer for Ayu but we'll have to see in future releases!
It's really odd how a lot of old/new composers popped up for this album. |
I have no surprise why I love Return Road. haha
|
I wonder where that DAI track came from? If it's from a while ago I hope she decides to use "Who... PT II" in a future release. Or that track she composed around Rule/Sparkle.
|
It's probably from a while ago. I don't think any of the DAI compositions we've had since NEXT LEVEL had been done at the time of release. It doesn't seem like DAI does compositions anymore otherwise he'd still be working with the group he helped create, Do As Infinity.
That Who... pt.2 thing needs to stop being spread around. I don't think it was ever used to describe the song being made by Kazuhito Kikuchi which was just a 'great ballad' according to his manager. Somehow tweets got mixed up, I think. |
Can't a boy dream? *sparkly, googly eyes*
|
I love her choice of composers this time round =) Awesome to see the familiar composers like DAI and BOUNCEBACK are back. and definitely even more glad to see Ayu using so many new composers this time round
|
Still awaiting the Kazuhito Kikuchi and Tetsuya Yukumi comeback one fine day :D
BUT! im not complaining about these composers either :) |

The people who did Tell me why did quite a few tracks for Ivi Adamou. Not sure what else they've done besides their work for her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalokairi_Stin_Kardia <-- check it out here. |
My dearest Yuta Nakano have never yet failed me. :yes
|
DAI and BOUNCEBACK.. no freaking way!
|
Return Road 作曲:DAI
DAAAAI!! yeah! |
I'm so, SO glad to see DAI back. MOAR DAI PLZ.
|
Yeah DAI & BOUNCEBACKK!! ^0^
Also cheers for Timmy! |
DAI the best! :heart
and I like light pop-rock songs composed by Katsumi Ohnishi! very fresh :D |
I am loving call and letter.. now that i know they were composed by the same person, it makes sense why they flow so well together...
and the jazz stuff. I may not like but seeing that it was done by timmy makes me somewhat indifferent about it... going from NaNaNa to the jazz to HBYR, it's amazingly diverse. |
oh yes DAI is awesome no wonder return road is one of the best track on the album
|
No surprise the worst songs on the album are all composed by Timmy :shrug
Though I do like Pq and hbya. Took some time, but I do. |
Divine DAI

Alright! DAI!! =)
I wonder how BOUNCEBACK will be... I didn't really like some of their compositions the first time. |
i just wish for CREA to comeback for Ayu's next single/ album....
Yay!! More DAI Pls, n more new composers pls.... |
Wow, so many different composer in this album. I believe they are all great composer, but theres only one name for me who never failed to amuse my ear, long live DAI! I adore thee!

Quite a lot of work with DAI and Anna Tsuchiya. Interesting to note that his first composition was for the male vocalist in TM Network and was called 'Call'. |
DAI <3 Return Road <333
|
I don't think it needs to be said again, but here it goes:
OMG DAI! ♥ Quote:
|
The only Timmy tracks I really like are BRILLANTE and the next LOVE. E,S,M is just okay and the worst are HBYA and PQ.
|
^Oooh look at that. I agree with you with 100%. :yes
|
I love all DAI compositions, but wait...
wasn't it DAI the initials of names, in between, the A of DAI is Ayu :O |
^DAI is Dai Nagao, which is where the DAI comes from =P (if that's what you mean)
Very impressed with the list of names on thsi album. I'm guessing she/avex have been sitting on the DAI and BOUNCEBACK compositions for a while (although I think BOUNCEBACK are still active, yeah?) |
i hope she'll continue to experiment with different composers like she did for this album instead of sticking to the same ones most of the time. the composers did a fantastic job on these tracks!
|
DAI you did an awesome and epic song!!!
Without Return Road, this album would be not the same |
Wow, all kinds of nationalities represented here. '
Marcus Winther-John is danish-english and he's written songs for MLTR before. Lene Dissing is also a danish songwriter, she's written some entries for the ESC. That's kinda cool to see! |
Yeah, E,S,M is definitely my least favorite track on this album :(
|
I'm surprised not seeing an english name on taskebab, it's definitely this Daft Punk song!!
the part in question is at 01:04 (on taskebab that part begins at 00:51) |

I think tasuku has a habit of sampling tracks for his interludes but at the same time, doing that kind of gets him labeled as a plagiarist. |
another task interlude (i can't remember) got a sample from Hoobastank, so isn't a big surprise for me,lol
|
Quote:
taskinst was the one that seemed to sample Hoobastank's "Don't Tell Me" and tasking used an identical sample as S.F.A's "Beyond Hope" for Granado Espada. Since this has happened 3 times in a row [or more]... I think it's not exactly plagiarism. |
Well, no wonder I like Return Road so much. Timmy's tracks here are a bit of a let down, tbh. I mean, they're not actually bad, just kind of simple and slightly boring next to all the other tracks.

All this cover stuff, and "inspired by" is interesting...hm...
|
I'm happy to see Yuta Nakano in there. I've never been disappointed by his work!
|
^^Same here!
|
I can finally understand why I love Return Road so much.

If you know about the "new" Do As Infinity (Reformed back in 2008, and still releasing until today), there's an official statement said that Nagao Dai isn't the part of the band anymore, you can hear the difference as well in the music, it's slightly different from their previous works when Nagao Dai still in the band. I need more Nagao Dai materials though, his composition are just pure magic. |
^^Interesting, thanks
|
Quote:
|
Ah I see, seems like I got it wrong then.
Anyway, even though he doesn't compose for Do As Infinity anymore, I don't think it's an old material. Why come into conclusion it's an old material? He seems not really busy. |
Is there a website, or some kind of resource where I can go to reference composers and arrangers for all of her songs?
|
^I usually use http://www.uta-net.com/

It's entirely possible that NEXT LEVEL onward were all new, but usually when his compositions pop up there's only one per release. (NEXT LEVEL, BALLAD, and now Return Road) It leads me to believe that he isn't really around composing new music for Ayu. He just disappeared for 2-3 years after BLUE BIRD and then suddenly came back for an album. It was a little odd imo. |
You may be right, since he's actually a composer and starts as a composer, and yet he has a self-label as well, not sure if it's under avex or not.
My wish for Ayu album full of DAI has gone forever then. |

Ah, am I really the only one who loves Timmy's tracks? :,c Love the uniqueness and Musical kind of approach~ and also playfulness.
I like them really much~~ NaNaNa is my favorite however, just epic!~ |
I admire the diversity in composers, I hope this up!!!
|
Quote:
|
His compositions are not unique. He's just taken other genres and made them crappier. It makes me cringe thinking that some ayu fan's only exposure to jazz and swing music could be the next love and eyes, smoke, magic.

|
^As a POP musician, I don't think she was trying to reach a new elevated way of performing jazz... This is pop music: watered down version of much complex music genres for the masses...
|
I think Timmy has a good job with PQ and HBYA, I love the rap of NaNaNa I thought it would be worse.
|
Timmy is okay, why would he compose some really underground and experimental thing for her when she's obviously still mainstream :shrug She isn't an Indie singer yet LOL And she probably picked what she liked and chose the final results. It's not his decision as he said, it's all what ayu wants and it's not really up to him what becomes part of her work or not, she has the last word.
And I'm happy with what they've achieved so far, he said he was working on a new song a few days ago and said it was going to be good and sad, or something. |
i loved timmy compositions, but i hope he wont always be backing vocal all of them..
|
no wonder I find Call so DAI-ish... :D
|
Quote:
|
The main difference between timmy and for example DAI + yuta nakano is that Timmy cannot compose songs for Ayu's voice. Those musical songs are plain horrible, and they work for best with voices like Aguilera's (for example). And HBYA.... I'm not even going there
|
^Well I have to argue on that point for the next LOVE. that fits her voice and vibrato perfectly!
|
IMO hbya fits well for Ayu's voice. Don't get why people call it 'too western' or not ayuish when it sounds like some of her ballads. And it's not like Timmy is forcing Ayu to choose his songs lol. If Ayu loves that song we can't complain about Timmy.
I kinda agree that the jazzy songs aren't that unique though, but it's always nice to hear Ayu doing something different. Timmy is like a breath of fresh air, as much as I love her usual composers she have to change. Or she wouldn't be the Ayu I know. |

^It doesn't sound like a gospel song, but the choir is used on the most stereotypical way possible, as I believe there are far more innovative ways of using it (Madonna's Like a Prayer comes to mind)
IMO it's not about making innovative music, but about creating "images" to the listener through elements token from different aesthetics... |
reminds me and Return Road are two of the best songs
