She sounds so good, and it's so... comforting? Very Ayu-ish, and therefore has that sense of nostalgia that permeates all her songs. I'm just so happy to have a new Ayu song, really. I feel like this is what Love Again could have been with a bit more attention given to making the songs feel richer.

Omg i love it. I CRAVE for something nostalgic on my playlist and ayu delievred this!!!

Honestly you cant expect her to give electro music and make it personal and hesrtfelt for the nature of her tour

I'm happy that a new song is gonna be released, however I wish it would be a physical single not a digital one again.

I think it's a very nice and beautiful song. The melody reminds me of everything that I loved about Japanese pop music in the last century. Very nostalgic and touching. I do wish though that the arrangement were more creative to give it greater depth

I really love the song but why this promo pic? Lol

I like the song it's kind of love again ish IMO i feel like it would fit on there. can't wait to get a translation. She sounds good too.

Agree, i love the chorus and the strong she puts.

Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the lyrics and translation. It seems a song for her fans.

Desperately waiting for translations!

she sounds very strong and powerful, i enjoyed a lot! I dont think its so 'ballady' as it is mentioned before. I like it !

found lyrics at weibo
@Blanckat_Ayu and @ayu1998- wrote it by hearing

ねぇあなたに言わずにいたけれど
理想通りのようなあの部屋が
大嫌いだったよ

どこにも居場所なんてなくて
息をするのも許されないような
支配された世界

でも笑ってれば
もう誰も悲しませることなく
なんとかやり過ごせると
思ってたのに...

泣きながら逃げ出したあの日
ひとり雨に打たれてた
これからどころが今さえ
わからないままで

ただ一つ　この夜が明けて
欲しくないと願ってた
明日の来ない世界がもしもあるのならと
探していた

そういえば穏やかな夜とか
転がるくらい回る夜だとかって
この感じだったね

もう明日に怯える
私じゃなくなったよと
いつかは言える日が来ると信じたい

「愛してる」の一言だとか
ただそばにいることとか
孤独を忘れられるような
瞬間だったりとか

繋いだ手の温もりだとか
眼差しの優しさとか
忘れていた何もかもを
君が精一杯指し出してた

「愛してる」の一言だとか
ただそばにいることとか
孤独を忘れられるような
瞬間だったりとか

繋いだ手の温もりだとか
眼差しの優しさとか
忘れていた何もかもを
君が精一杯指し出してる

It may not be the most amazing or standout track she's ever released, but I do like it. I also really appreciate it being a more powerful ballad, and not an airy/light ballad in her upper register like she has been more prone to release in the last decade.

Even though it's not her best song, I don't know what the hell she has that everytime I listen something new from her she makes me FEEL the song.

She hasn't got the best voice, but she can transmit a lot with it.

Damn you Ayu... take care of yourself, we'll always want new music from you.

Omg!! I woke up and there's a new song lol

I really like the cover! It's so personal and natural. Maybe that's part of the plan of showing a more natural and true side of her. About the song, it's a beautiful ballad! Better than some she released in the last years. I like the rock vibe of it. Hoping for the translation. <3

Kinda boring and too familiar but at least its an end to the Ayu drought.

WORDS is nothing earth-shattering but it's everything I like about her ballads, and given she was releasing almost nothing this is a total win for me. Love love love.

I was looking for the lyric!! Thank youuu:love

Quite good song but nothing exceptionnal. We'll more enjoy it with a good translation, I think the lyrics are quite important, more than music by itself ;)

OMG, this is exactly what I needed!

Just another standard Ayu track tbh. Nothing special. Anyways, it's nice to hear something new from her at least.
