I will admit, when I first received LOVEppears (my first official Ayu album), I ALWAYS skipped this track as that obnoxious, harsh and NOISY intro began. However, I happened to listen to it all the way through years later and recently have found a true admiration for this track. I think if you also feel this track is not a good one (I remember someone recently pointing out how bad this track is in another topic), you should really give it another chance. I prefer it to POWDER SNOW even.

and my God, that BRIDGE! The bridge of this song is one of the most, if not the most, heart-wrenching of pieces in all of Ayu's works. The way the composition unfolds here - the direction in which it turns... the way the melody works with the arrangement and the emotion behind Ayu's voice. It's utterly heartbreaking, magnificent, and truly beautiful. I melt as this part unfolds, every time.

"The flowers I thought would have bloomed here
are now gone. It was inevitable.
Even if the day comes that you
hear this song alone, please don't forget."

So, do you appreciate this track? I suggest you really give it a few more shots, truly analyze the song and try to find the beauty behind it.
