Maybe people are disappointed because ayu said "it came from God" (or something like that :p). So some may have expected something amazing or really good...
But I repeat, it is just based on a preview, this song can be amazing at the end, even though the chorus seems really generic (for me).
P.S.: Yet I like GREEN so far, so whatever happens this single will be mine  |
I was more disappointed because I don't really care for the melody or the composition of the chorus at all.
But then again, this is only a preview. For me, it takes quite a bit for me not to like a song. I don't really care for Ayu's new works, but they aren't horrible or anything like that, just not my style.
With this song, for me, if I hear the entire thing HQ, and I still don't like it, it'll be because of a mixture of her vocals, the melody/composition, boring arrangement, and lost feeling.
Ayu songs have tremendous feeling, but sometimes it can get lost with a song that isn't composed in the best way and for me it happened with a few songs on guilty.
anthy brought up a good point that it seems that Ayu's newer works take time to grow into, and then you'll probably like them.
This could be true, it took forever for fated to grow on me, and now I love it.
But anyway, I seriously hope the verses are better and the beginning is awesome. Verses can really make or kill a song for me, more so than the chorus. So we'll see. It's not terrible. Might take a few singles for me to get used to it though
@allnightraver: I don't think that's why people say it's unoriginal. It's unoriginal to me because the background instrumentals seem very common. I think we really need to have the whole song to start throwing out the original/unoriginal opinions/accusations though.
