Not only is it beautiful, and well-produced, with a deep and moving arrangement, but it just fits in so PERFECTLY with the rest of her discography. I hear Ayu in the song. Does that make sense? There are some parts that remind me of "meaning of Love" (which might be the greatest mystery of my life, because I consider that song to be a blight on her discography, but I can hear echoes of it in Pray's chorus)....and I swear the piano at the end leading into the last stanza was lifted straight from the stripped-down HANABI a-nation performances.

This is a song only Ayu can pull off. I love it way too much.

And the opening strings...EPIC.

Edit: scratch that; with the exception of one note, the piano before the last stanza IS HANABI. lmfaoooo
YES!! Just wanted to mention that the chords are exactly the same as in HANABI
