Acappella version
Acappella ver. with chords

Song is releasing digitally on 7/31 and composed by Tetsuya Komuro! Cover is kind of reminiscent of Rule, shot by Kazuyoshi Shimomura. Modelpress mentions his photos have a big impact!

Arranged by Yuta Nakano, as mentioned in the official audio.

Lyrics from acapella transcription + translation by remove-mom of the AHS Discord
Quote:

Where does one draw the line between old things and nostalgic things?
The kings that I'm no longer able to use, or the queens that I no longer use

The place where things belong in my heart, or where I should put things
Hey, the cards I've done whatever with up until now -- I need to lay them out

Everything was smashed to pieces, and I was on my hands and knees saying it was fine
Crying while wanting to gather them all back up, I can't give up

Embracing one another after fighting
Saying that's just how it is
In that way
Even now
We're dreaming the same dream

furui mono to natsukashii mono wa doko de RAIN hiiteku?
tsukaenaku natta KINGU to tsukawanaku natta KUIIN da toka

chotto kokoro no naka no ibasho da toka okikata da toka
nee koko made nantonaku ni shiteta KAADO no haichi shinakucha

konagona ni kudakechitta ato buzama demo ii to haitsukubatteta
nakinagara hiroiatsumetetai akiramerarenakute

kenka shite dakiatte
sonnan datte
sou yatte
ima datte
issho no yume wo yume ni miteru

古いものと懐かしいものはどこでライン引いてく?
使えなくなったキングと使わなくなったクイーンだとか

ちょっと心の中の居場所だとか置き方だとか
ねぇ ここまでなんとなくにしてたカードの配置しなくちゃ

粉々に砕け散ったあと無様でもいいと這いつくばってた
泣きながら拾い集めてたい 諦められなくて

喧嘩して抱き合って
そんなんだって
そうやって 
今だって
一緒の夢を夢に見てる

Katsuyuki012 24th July 2020 11:15 AM

I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT :heart
It really fits, following Promised Land etc. 2020 has been good for Ayu fans in terms of releases.

And the cover is stunning! The title is awesome and really interesting. Kinda reminds me of Seiko.

Chris_Duvall 24th July 2020 11:16 AM

OMG! I honestly wasn't expecting another song coming out this soon. That's fantastic!!
The acapella sounds amazing already<3 Pretty sure the full song and the PV will be bomb!

Evolution7/4 24th July 2020 11:17 AM

Yess!! Even though its acapella you can tell this is very GLOBE. Ayu is giving us Keiko but definitely still herself. Can't wait to hear the full version.

njanjayrp 24th July 2020 11:17 AM

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! OMG. MY BODY NEEDS THIS NOW.

Chibi-Chan 24th July 2020 11:20 AM

Ohhh I really like what I'm hearing so far and I love the keiko vibes! Also I really like the cover!

summerain 24th July 2020 11:20 AM

They releases this version, with guideline chords

truehappiness 24th July 2020 11:20 AM

I think they are planning for ayu-mi-x 2020 for sure this year, lol.

EndOfTheWorld 24th July 2020 11:21 AM

Based on the acappella, I am feeling optimistic about Dreamed a Dream!:luv2

YakuSoku 24th July 2020 11:22 AM

Until the chorus it reminded me of TERMINAL, but that chorus is fleek !!!

xLuna&1LOVE 24th July 2020 11:23 AM

Oh my god, the photoshoot is amazing and the preview sounds so good and promising! Yes! Yes ! Yes!

P.s. damn, you guys are fast. I was watching that documentary you posted in anything goes, @truehappiness and within that time, everything about Dreamed a dream is posted on AHS! Big big kudo's!

!Lawi! 24th July 2020 11:23 AM

Oh my god I can't wait one week this is too good already!
Wonder what the arrangement is going to be like? I could imagine something along the lines of The Show must go on.

Irish_Ayu_Fan 24th July 2020 11:23 AM

I am obsessed with the version she uploaded, so excited to here the full thing! Can’t believe I am leaving Japan the day before it comes out �� ��

~angel*ayumi~ 24th July 2020 11:25 AM

I rly rly love the song so far.
I hope we will get a new full length album this year <3

adrtwb 24th July 2020 11:26 AM

OMGGGG I WANT IT! No physical release?

Deep snow 24th July 2020 11:28 AM

I was apprehensive at the prospect of a TK song because to me his compositions have always been hit-or-miss so far but OH BOY this one sounds like a complete HIT. I am loving both previews and hope this turns out to be the BANGER she totally deserves. I can't figure out what to feel about the cover because my feelings are still maxed out with excitement for her new music. I AM SO EXCITED.

truehappiness 24th July 2020 11:28 AM

I could see it getting a physical release with something else later like Ohia no Ki if they choose to release a version of Natsu no Trouble physically.

surrealA 24th July 2020 11:28 AM

the song give me chills already!

mi|kshake 24th July 2020 11:30 AM

Omg the cover! The accapella!!!

Chris85 24th July 2020 11:30 AM

So all those Komuro bad blood rumours were bs. I like the chorus, reminds me of Identity.

Diego-kun 24th July 2020 11:31 AM

Yay! The a capella version sounds quite good so I’m sure it’ll be awesome.

I love TK and he’s produced many amazing songs but right now he has a bad reputation after leaving her sick wife, Keiko, and refusing to pay her. After the scandal he lied about retiring which was even worse. That being said, I’m afraid that working with him will damage Ayu (now that she’s recovering from a period where she just received criticism and bad comments)

truehappiness 24th July 2020 11:33 AM

That chorus is INSANE.

Aderianu 24th July 2020 11:33 AM

I like it so much more than Ohianoki

njanjayrp 24th July 2020 11:34 AM

^ Ohia is a grower. I love it, even though it wasn't a love at first sight, like this.

Totally. The best thing is it doesn't remind me of anything in her discography. I can't wait!

summerain 24th July 2020 11:35 AM

Any chances of "Dreamed a Dream" being part of Natsu no TROUBLE setlist tomorrow?

Toniayu123 24th July 2020 11:36 AM

This is exactly what we needed.

» Kuya • 24th July 2020 11:37 AM

I am IN LOVE with this short version! Can't wait to get the full release next week :luv2

I kinda theorized that with the teases, and it could happen.

I'm supposed to be working and I CAN'T STOP playing that preview :luv2

This feels unreal, two new songs after such a long time and one of them is shaping up to be an absolute hit!

I have a feeling bridge before the chorus will be amazing with the instruments added on to it, kind of reminds me of the pre-chorus bit in decision!

CeReSu 24th July 2020 11:39 AM

YES!! This sounds promising !!!!
Cover is nice too !

summerain 24th July 2020 11:40 AM

I'm expecting something like The Show Must Go On, a perfect song for a live show.

280301 24th July 2020 11:41 AM

Finally, some good food.

It sure as hell will be the perfect song for a live show - I can feel it already! Gosh, I can't contain how happy I am right now <3

I actually did theorize about this about a week+ ago, lol! I hope she does it for the concert tomorrow.

kotora 24th July 2020 11:50 AM

I like this bitchy look.

EndOfTheWorld 24th July 2020 11:52 AM

Why do you think they included the BPM?:think

sunny 24th July 2020 11:52 AM

So... can we confirm that Kazuyoshi Shimomura is obsessed with leather outfit?

maxikot 24th July 2020 11:54 AM

I am super excited. I love everything she's been doing since the Promised Land (including it) and there is more to come!

truehappiness 24th July 2020 11:55 AM

alternarist 24th July 2020 12:03 PM

sounds promising!

Faiza 24th July 2020 12:04 PM

oooh, it catches my attention more than ohia no ki even with just the acapella, can't wait to hear more!

EndOfTheWorld 24th July 2020 12:04 PM

I know it's part of the remix campaign but they didn't include it for all the other acappellas.

truehappiness 24th July 2020 12:08 PM

Probably because the general tone/pace of those songs was known. With this, we still don't have the actual song.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...q6QRhEmjIw9Fr9

They added 7 more songs to their selection!

owlflight 24th July 2020 12:19 PM

So excited for new music! This sounds interesting and can’t wait to hear the full song next week!

Chris85 24th July 2020 12:33 PM

It feels kinda weird that she's releasing new music again. I got so used to having no new material.

Toniayu123 24th July 2020 12:35 PM

I’m gonna prepare my wallet in case we get to see the release of a new album + ayumix 8 + all unreleased concerts. I’m getting that special edition.
We can be pretty sure that something is coming this year or next.

I feel the same :tipsy I'm still processing...
The new track already sounds amazing and we don't even have anything but a short acapella. I'm so ready for the full version already-

I did a very rough translation, because I'm at work and had to do it in like not even two minutes under the table with my phone so that no one would notice :laugh , I hadn't time for a better one, but I hope this is ok for a first impression. ;)

Old things and nostalgic things
Where do you draw the line?

A King who can't be used and
A Queen that is no longer used

Its a little like a place where one belongs or a settlement
Within my heart
Hey, so far
For some reason or another I have to arrange the used cards

After I smashed it and when it broke into pieces
I went down on my knees, even though it is an ungainly thing to do
While crying I want to collect the pieces

Not giving up, fighting, embracing eacht other
That's right, like this
Now, together
Dreaming a dream

Katsuyuki012 24th July 2020 12:50 PM

^Thanks a lot!

truehappiness 24th July 2020 12:52 PM

ExodusUK 24th July 2020 01:13 PM

It's an interesting idea to release an acapella first to see how people interpret the song or remix it without being influenced by the original song/instrumental hehe

asagarichan 24th July 2020 01:19 PM

can`t wait! this song amazing!

Evan Odinson 24th July 2020 01:23 PM

Sounds so good!! :luv2

thinkingoutloud89 24th July 2020 01:24 PM

I think the title is stupid and TK can go both ways.
The acapella was a pleasant surprise tho, but way to cute in the verses.

BlackSilence 24th July 2020 01:26 PM

Good stuff but i honestly am not too impressed by either or the songs. I do like the chorus kn this one, i just hope it builds up.

I do love the cover, though.

rikku1994 24th July 2020 01:27 PM

UGH FOLKLORE WHO!? IDK HER SHE LOOKS SO GOOD

Katsuyuki012 24th July 2020 01:36 PM

It's a nice idea, first they stroke people with gentle, loving ayu and then follow it up with a rather fierce Ayu.

tenshi no hane 24th July 2020 01:45 PM

Sounds promising, especially the latter half! Not really a fan of how she over-articulates in the beginning, but I'm definitely curious about hearing the whole thing.

I really like the first line, "Where to draw the line between old and nostalgic?" Very fitting for a Ayu and Komuro song lol.

I’m all ready for that! I need to spend money on ayu!

hidekirby 24th July 2020 02:50 PM

Wow!!
That sounds promising... A LOT! Can't wait!!!!
Love the voice.
The title is a choice. The cover is OK... Would have liked a more interesting background.
Hope they won't ruin this all with lazy and cheap arrangements pleeeaaase I'm begging you.

LEOyumi 24th July 2020 02:53 PM

ahhhhh I love this so much! ayu's serving and I can't wait to listen to the finished song!
I'm so glad she announced it for a week from now, so close <3 I hope it has a killer PV!

could have been worse, at least it was semi-baby voice. I think she will forever be a victim of fake voice and keys that are too high for her.

Zeke. 24th July 2020 03:06 PM

I love the verse. The way it kind of jumps around a lot, brings a lot of tension and most importantly, it’s catchy.

KittyKathy 24th July 2020 05:45 PM

I love the cover a lot. I like hair, makeup, outfit. Perfection :luv2

Katsuyuki012 24th July 2020 06:18 PM

I might've made a mistake but it seems as if it's gonna be released during the middle of the digital chart week, so it'll have 3 days of sales.

love in music 24th July 2020 06:26 PM

Omg YES this is more like it! I love her voice here, this sounds so interesting and not like any of her other songs so far ahhhhhhhhh I haven't been this excited for an ayu song in so long. Also the cover is perfect.

ShiraJemJem 24th July 2020 06:32 PM

Finally new song that I like! love the cover too!

calltome 24th July 2020 06:40 PM

A hell of a song, even if it’s just teaser. I can’t wait for the full version.

interesting mashup! <3 ELT



Also this remix! cant stop listening to it!

The a capella version made me feel excited. She looks very proud on the cover. The meaning of the lyrics is great. I can't wait to get the full song.

I'm honestly glad she's free to do what she wants and not worry about sales as much anymore. With all the variety of streaming services, she can probably fair better sales-wise than with the old model of releasing music.

truehappiness 24th July 2020 08:15 PM

The release seems to be about a day before the Ohia no Ki release. I think it's partially being done so that the tracks have a better chance to hit daily no.1 potentially.

xLuna&1LOVE 24th July 2020 08:57 PM

abottchen is already so quick into creating a piano arrangement for Dreamed a Dream Don't forget to give them love:


RealLight 24th July 2020 08:59 PM

Oh my, I literally woke up to this.

Wow Ayu

I find it... interesting, in a good way. The verses reminded me of Many Classic Moments in a way and those "haaa"s, of kanariya. The cover is fierce, I think they should've just picked a different font to match it. I'm really curious how the instrumental will sound and like hidekirby said, I hope they don't ruin this with some cheap/lazy-ass arrangement.

mi|kshake 24th July 2020 09:23 PM

In my head I'm feeling this is going to sound a bit like Snowy Kiss! (Which is a good thing!) And I'm kinda hoping for some Trance vibes when we hear the actual song!

Anna.L 24th July 2020 09:54 PM

ok
edm or rockish?
happy song or something like my all?

Anna.L 24th July 2020 09:55 PM

but seeing the cover
is she really with less make up? its so clean

truehappiness 24th July 2020 10:09 PM

Probably a very electronic TK sound for the final thing.

Also her makeup is there,just nude colors.

the verses reminded me of Many Classic Moments, yeah. that crossed my mind when someone said earlier that it didn't sound like any of her songs. it's not really her song though, just a cover, but the way she's singing the verses totally reminded me of it.

I hope it's rockish to do that powerful chorus justice.
