I'm absolute loving the video of Haru-yo, Koi and the new arrangement is beautiful. Gorgeous (^.^)

The poor girl has been losing her hearing for over a decade...it's not her fault...The fact she can sing this well with everything she's been through is remarkable.

I really love the genderfuck-dancers.

Ruan Borges 13th March 2021 01:32 AM

That's it, another cover another slay. I keep saying that I would love if she ever release something like A COVERS, she always adds so much to her versions.

Loved everything about Haru yo, koi <3

Very relevant as the world is hopefully at the tail end of COVID

LOL wearing black is in every culture however i don't think people chose actual tailcoats for that... that's what you wear at a high end super royal balls, a white tie type of stuff, literally the whole set is that sort of, not exactly "death" like, i'd say...I think you're just reading into it a bit too much, imo. They are just dancing around. Technically "the spring" is already there (ayu, colours bla bla) so i'm not sure it works for the agenda you're talking about...lol

Chinese wear white :)

I didn't even notice they were wearing tailcoats until I watched it for the 5th time (most of my attention is on ayu...after all)

Oh my god, this makes my chest ache.

It's so beautiful in every way, visually and vocally. I feel her longing so powerfully it makes me long to hold my loved ones. She has knocked me out.

summerain 13th March 2021 04:21 AM

There will be another video reveal tomorrow related to A BALLADS 2. I guess it's just the real order of the tracks (the site has an indicator that's still undecided) and/or more content to the second video disc.

Or...
Pray for you? haha

Shimoko mentioned the black costume represents the black stone tho in his Instagram

junshen 13th March 2021 05:22 AM

Added Hi-Res Lossless in download session.

Chris85 13th March 2021 05:24 AM

Just watched the music video. The very ending got me: had goosebumps and teared up a little. That part felt epic and beautiful.

Hi, guys, I tried a mix between Haru yo koi 2020 & Vocal from 2003. I made this for fun but actually I love this version too.

^ Now THAT would have been epic.

Last minute
WHY
BRILLANTE

Flower best ballad ever, no doubt

Yep. Avex had no plans to release it as a single before the album. But FLOWER is my most favorite song in M(A)DE IN JAPAN album.

Chris85 13th March 2021 10:42 AM

I really can't call Flower a ballad.

Katsuyuki012 13th March 2021 10:55 AM

^Same.

kobevalencia17 13th March 2021 11:41 AM

Well, we have to call it a ballad. But with more rock and traditional themes. There's no dance beat in the song.
