I loved glitter from the start. It was different - it was more "dance" orientated. It had very, very slight trance influences and an energy about it. I remember going for a run when it leaked - it made me want to run in the hot sun. I replayed it in my car while driving. I had a quote on my signature for a while by a member that said "the crazies who complain about glitter are probably the ones who get angry when Ayu releases anything that isn't alterna or something" haha.

fated... I hated. I thought it was absolutely boring and nothing special at all. Especially with that beautiful melody/sound that the PV opens with. I remember watching it with my sister and she was like "this sounds like a song I would like" and I'm like "well it sucks." lol.

4 years later... my love for glitter has subsided. Still nice to listen to, but overall I prefer fairyland and Sunrise. fated, has become a song I really do love. Maybe because I have come to accept the non-fierce songs by Ayu, and have come to love that genre in itself. It's nice to listen to in the rain, or when I am in the relaxing mood for Ayu ballads (Together When..., rainy day, untitled ~for her~, etc...) I think overtime crappier songs have been released so it makes me think "you know what, fated wasn't all that bad and I would take that over (insert other crappy song) anyday"
