The only thing I have reservations for is that she's using her Ivy voice here. I don't know how to describe it. It sounds raw at times, e.g. "Tatta hitotsuu moshi negai gaaaa" - in the bold part she sounds...struggling to be on pitch. And I noticed this repeated several times in the preview as well. Raw, is probably a good way to describe it. It would be good if she touches up on her voice for the final mix but somehow I have a feeling that that's not gonna happen :s (but it happened before in her old songs, i.e. STEP you, About You, GREEN, Moments - they're all different from their CM versions)
Yup, I agree about that raw-ness, I think she needs to work on her technique for that part, don't think its going to be good for her voice in a long run.
It sounds like a good song but the music is abit cheap I think, for a movie like this, I feel they should have went with more orchestra sounds to get the real impact.
