EW HI's UGLY! c'mon?!
So if people don't like a release they are "whining?" Aren't you "whining" about the "whiners?" I don't like when people just write stuff like "I hate it eww" or "I wanted something else." But then why isn't the same true in reverse when people just write stuff like "OMG this is the bestest!" Why does an opinion have to be positive in order for it to be immediately accepted?

And Ayu's cd sales are going down.....(of course the quality of the music isn't the only reason for that though, but I do suspect it is part of it.)

Exactly. I don't think when people say stuff like "I want another Surreal or another alterna" that they mean they want another song that SOUNDS like those, but that they want a song that is going to give them the same feeling after a first listen that those songs gave - the WOW feeling. That's not easy to produce with every single, but I hate it when people here gush over a single that is pretty average by Ayu standards and then wonder what went wrong when the sales figures come out and they are below expectations.

But still...I hate when they blend the first verse to the chorus. Remember the Kaidan trailer? When they gives a short silence before the chorus (todokanai...) it sounds like...very climaxing XD
But now they ruined it. :<
What's been bugging me most about Glitter is when the instrumental comes in and then after words the chorus starts to repeat with just Ayu and then the full blown chorus comes in. It bothers me because they used the same technique in Blue Bird, fairyland, Greatful Days, and angel's song(although it doesn't stand out to me as much in angel's song.)

lol, this happens like every time a new single is released maybe it just doesn't go quite this in depth all the time.

I agree to some extent, but isn't this a discussion board? Shouldn't discussions and debates so long as they are on topic and civil be allowed, if not encouraged? Otherwise it would be pretty boring I think.
