What do you think of 'Together When...' Post Your Comments !
 

Ok...So post your comments on the song !
For me it's good...but HEAVEN and JEWEL still better ones
Maybe we should listen to the CD QUALITY one...or HQ one...coz the download MP3 seems to 'cracked' a bit
I dun really like the twist before the chorus...coz the tune suddenly down...it should be higher

The lyrics+melody seem innocuous at first but I think it has some subtlety behind it. I wanna hear the verse...so far I think it's ayu-worthy. Really catchy, ne?

I love the many colors of her voice.

It sounds ok to mi at first. The more i listen the more i like it :) It has a No Way To Say plus To Be feel to it. As to which is nicer.. has to wait till the whole song is out to judge haha.

i found that her voice sounds like in her oldies..
the high pitch voice~ though there's the vibration..

quite nice.. but i need to full version to jugde~

from the preview it sounds beatiful, kinda like No Way To Say, but it has his own style too, I wanna hear the full song

It is damn cool!!! Reminds me of CAROLS and No Way To Say :P *waiting for the better quality version* :D

oh my, it reminds me of her really older stuff! Especially Key ~eternal tie ver.~.

That's a good thing :) I absolutely despise her last single, the tryhard rock crap is getting on my nerv. So this is a good change :)

it does kinda remind me of her older stuff, but don't know what..
I like it, it's good. can't wait for the full song, so I can really judge it.

Yah, it does remind me of her older material too. I can't wait to hear the full song!

i can imagine the verses before the chorus to be quite. and then it leads on to this chorus. cos it seems to be rather noisy. but i like the tune of the chorus! it sounds sincere.. :)

i would say better than No way to say.. :D

Lol remember to retag the song to Together When...

Reminds me TO BE, I don't know why but her voice really beautiful, very emotional. In my mind Together When will be better than CAROLS or JEWEL, two ballads finally poor. I'm impatient to listen the full version.

Well it's promising I guess

i love it a lot!it gave a "No way to say" feel and is so christmas'ish!yea christmas is coming!

it really does have a No way to say / TO BE style <3 I like it so far! looking forward towards to full version^^

The preview sounds really good. I'm glad I have something to look forward to. :)

I like the preview a lot - I can actually hear the instruments, it doesn't sound like it's got a lot of snyth sound to it. I'm looking forward to hearing the full song :yes

i think this song is really good, i love the orchestra feel on it, i believe this one not arrange by HAL, and its make different...
and this song is dynamic not like her usual ballad that repeating the same melody again and again..love it...can't wait for the full version

Good lord, I love the preview!
I hope the full version doesn't disappoint me, because I really like this :)

After I heard Together When... , I can imagine the coming album will have a sort of rock-ish style.

fate - ballads rock
talkin' 2 myself - rock rock rock
decision - rock rock
Together When... - kind of rock/pop?
glitter - hmm IMO, pop only doesn't fit.

I love the song from what I hear in the peview! I can't wait for the full version to come out!

I really hope Together when... is a ballad, but hearing the preview it's kinda rock-ish, hopefully the full song is not so rock-ish, more ballad-ish..
but I like it anyways. :)

It's like No Way To Say ~Episode 7~ :headache We already had a rehash of NWTS with part of me, guess Ayu couldn't wait to next year to recycle the song. :dead2 Other than that complaint, I like it but it's not very original.

You're right, it's not HAL. =D

CMJK actually spoke about the song on his blog.
http://ameblo.jp/cmjk/
David Campbell worked on the strings arrangement. He's a very famous conductor and has worked with many popular artists including Michael Jackson, Alanis Morissette, Goo Goo Dolls, Beyonce, Avril, Aerosmith, Celine. He also did the strings for t2m and decision, by the way.

It sounds a lot different than I expected. Very emotional... Old vocal technique, no vibrato.. I'm excited to hear the whole song now. I will say though, I think it has potential to be a huge hit.

its pretty nice!
there is a christmas feel halfway there....

and yea, the tune is really not so typical of her normal ballads...and i really feel her emotion!

Am I the only one who didn't think it's like No Way To Say?

I don't either. o_O

hmmm
i like the song
reminds me of olden days ayu
YAYY !~~! like LOVEppears ERA~

It definitely sounds like her older stuff. I'm really enjoying the melody. I really like that the chorus is not at all repetitive. <3 I'm looking forward on hearing the full song because I'm loving what I'm hearing. AND, her voice sounds so great compared to her last 2 singles vocals.

to be honest, i think this song erased NWTS's melody from my mind...i was still thinking how did NWTS sound...
not that i dont like tat song..just that..this song is so nice

i love it <333

Sounds like avex tried the emotional-ballad as I imagined. Sounds good to me. The whole thing has a good composition and I like the fact that she uses soft vocals instead of her usual ballad vibrato.

^i cant tell the difference of her voice..the no vibrato with the vibrato...
any examples?

I'm kind of addicted to it, thou its jus a preview..") reminds mi of her olden works cos she uses her higher range of her voice.. realli nice and catchy- lots of emotions too.. chrous sounds as good as no way to say, hope to hear e full song soon

is this live-recorded or studio version?

A lot of her recent songs had her vibrato (especially in live performances) and deeper voice except of her squeaky vocals which we had so much in the past.

i dont think its similar to NWTS

I think it's more like TO BE than NWTS.. given so many of us like the song.. gives me a feeling the japanese won't lol. U know how our taste of music are diff from theirs. Oh well..

Love it very mucch~!

I like what I heared so far. Nice rock-ballad. ^.^

it sounds too much like TO BE haha
it's okay to me... expected more from it XD

I really like it by far ^-^

I LOVED it!!!
It really seems like a winter ballad :)

Btw, her voice sounds awesome!

Agreed. Much better than her voice in her last 2 singles. :yes

haha yea..i wish for the opposite this time round....

I didn't know where to post this but there's some info about the new song on CMJK's blog. Credits to ayuchina

I like the song so far. I can't wait for the full song :)

I don't think it's like "no way to say"

I dislike the song. To be honest, is one of her weird songs I heard before. I hope the full version could be better but I'm kindly disappointed. When I listened I was thinking "WTF AYUMI? WHY DID YOU DO IT? O.O"

What weird about it? :shrug

^ Yeah doesn't go in the weird category to me. Songs like "Ladies Night" have a weird twist.

yeah.. I dun find it weird... Actually I adore it (so far). I really hope the full version is either as good as, or better than the preview (I know I'm greedy) :P

I'm like you, I didn't think it's like NWTS. I didn't really think of any song, especially with ballads, I'm not usually reminded of an older Ayu ballad.

The song sounds extremly catchy. Reminds me a mix of TO BE & End Roll <3

Let's hope the PV will be good ;)

I love it. It really like No way to say + TO BE.
Looking forward for the full version!

I'm actually excited about this song. I don't remember the last time I was anticipating a 2007 release. It's similar to No way to say, but not so much that it's dull or boring.

it does remind me of her oldies too, especially her squeaky voice.
can't wait for the full version! I'm sure I gonna like this ballad!! =)

sound like "part of ME" mixed with "Carols"... same tone color with the usual guitar and drums... and the strings... it probably will have the same form as well... no doubt, there will be a quiet chorus part, then BOOM, crescendo here comes the last chorus! *sigh* uhmmm, yeah, the usual. nothing great really. but i like it so far... can't wait to hear the entire song... i might like a lot then =P

I like the preview. it has a nice melody! I don't really like previews, but this one is pure love :3

Seems to be a really nice ballad. Performance of it will be good in my opinion and her voice, mature and at the same time like the one from few years back.

It sounded pretty unique to me tbh.

it sounds like, to me, "CAROLS" mixed with "momentum" and I don't think it's anything like "No Way to say"

not repetitive like Part Of Me..ain't similar to No Way To Say..has it's own unique taste and indeed it consist of elements of ayu's older material..quite a nice ballad so far..im waiting for the full version..since it's not repetitive i feel that it's gonna be quite a hit =)

It sounds unique... not really like anything ayu song before. (Not stylewise).

^ Exactly, I can't really see how people can immediately think it sounds like another song from a 40sec preview. :dead2

I was expecting something softer, but this has a pretty clear rock influence despite being a ballad. It's not an instant wow, but I'm still feeling positive.

I really like the preview, it sounds so emotional and sad. I also agree that it has it's own style/uniqueness to it. But her voice is higher like the old days...which is not bad, because it's not an extreme high pitch as it was back then. I cannot wait for the full version of this song. ^^
I, personally, would love it if Ayu pumped out a rock album!! :heart With the exception of glitter, it seems like there will be a lot of rock inspired tracks on this album.

i really like it. it sounds very emotional and kind of raw. i'll be excited to hear the full song.

I anticipated that I wouldn't like the song.. but actually, it's not that bad... it appears that the verses may sound nice =)

one stupid-stupid question!!!!!:

DAMN WHY IT'S DIGITAL SINGLE ONLYYYY????
aaa, Avex is cruel

I just love the song. the 1st ballad I love after HEAVEN, because I disliked every ballad on Secret and wasn't fond of part of Me (boring) and fated (typical)

:) :) :)

I'm glad it DOES sound like old material and I personally think it has something from NWTS

The first listen, I didn't like it...but I gave it a second try and now I couldn't stop listening to it....lol I'm glad this song is a bit more complicated than the previous ballads we had (fated, jewel, secret) and it doesn't sound like no way to say at all...geez...it sounds like her older songs like to be...which I love~

I don't know why but when I listen to preview i think it suits to a sad anime scene xD

All I can say about this is, "....Wow...." It reminds me of a blend of CAROLS and No Way to Say. :) But I want to hear the whole thing before I can say something about it! ^^

i like the preview, i want to see the performances

to me it sounds like a mix of carols and to be.....and her high pitched voice is back.....which is good...since we haven't had that for awhile.....

lovely ballad......lovely vocals ^_^ she never fails to dissapoint......the more i listen to it the more i like it.

it sounds JUST LIKE "bold & delicious"!!!!--jk...no but really, this is amazing! can't wait for the PV! and the full song, of course! at the very end of the preview it sounds like there are bells? maybe im hearing things or its an instrument cut off..but, id like the bells, if thats what it is. very wintry!

I like the song alot ^^

well i don't want to say "it reminds me... blablabla" this is a classic Ayu ballad for winter...
BUT ANYWAY IT SOUNDS GREAT

SO I'LL REALLY EXPECT A LOT FOR THAT ALBUM because Ayu keep and upgrade her level now !!!
Can't wait for January

is it just me or is her vibrato starting to get a little bit annoying?...


THIS IS SOOOO NOT NWTS WTF ARE YOU GUYS SAYING?!...

it's pretty...i really like it =3


THIS IS SOOOOO NOT TO BE EITHER!! SOOOOOOO NOT TO BEEEEE

the more I listen the more I love it!!!!

It's AWESOME!!!! love it loads already! can;t wait for the whole thing!

AYU is back doing what she does best. T2M was ok, but I prefer this by far!

A feeling of nostalgia? It sounds beautiful!

I agree with what a lot of you are saying - reminds me of No Way to Say.

I like it so far. It has a "LOVEppears" feel to it, and I've been really into that album lately.

I can't wait to hear what the full version is like, though, since it's hard to tell what the overall melody is like just from this preview.

i like it. :D nice song so far.

It's definalty a step up from her crap she has been releasing this year, although i feel like i have herd this song 100times already :P

all I can think of is "Whatever...." when I listen to it. Does nothing for me.

Not impressed at ALL.

Her voice sounds alright....not marvelous like it did in Pride or anything, but I like how it's not a typical winter ballad; I can see myself having it on repeat. XD I like the strings in the background and the otherworldly mix of drums and piano. Can't wait to hear more!

Hm hm.. well I like it... I love her voice :yes .. BUT!! I wanted it to be more Christmas like >.<" .... sob

I was hoping for a more JEWEL/CAROLS/NWTS type of dramatic ballad with high vocals, but I think "Together When..." preview sounds nice anyways. I'm definitely looking forward to the PV & the full song :yes

I think it's a good rock ballad, and I also feel that it is similar to "No way to say." Nonetheless, it's a swell song.

I don't think it really sounds anything like her previous works.
It definetely has a wintery feel, and I hope the PV will have a
tragicbutdark story like Because of You or Hanabi!

Well I was gonna say the same exact thing except it reminded me of her 2003-2004 era :D I liked it!

Ayu is known for her strange vibrato. It's just something us Ayu fans have to accept...even if it is a little bizarre ^^;

Am I the only one who's really attracted to ayu's vibrato? XD I think it adds her voice a lot!

I think I fell in love after one listen. :yes

Yeah, bit dramatic, but now I'm really excited for the full version! I too was expecting something soft and whispy, but hello...rock ballad? Okay!

I really love this song. It's got that Ayu-ballad sound, but it's totally brand new. Love it!!

the funny thing was that i was listening to TO BE yesterday
so when i heard this for the first time, it sounded so much like TO BE
and it still does to me haha

however, i must say that this song after a few listens is getting better and better

It was okay at first but the more I listen to it the more I like it, hope the full version turn out to be great. Also so far this song doesn't sound like To be at all... maybe I should listen to To be. It's been a while since I last listen to that song.
