I'm still 1000% convinced that the original title had to be SEX-TAPE, but it was probably way too risky. And Koda can't really afford another major scandal for her career. And rightly so, she's too damn talented to be tossed out the door like Suzuki Ami.

Well, like in NintendoHTF1242's perspective, DAISHI DANCE is an amazing producer. I agree that their productions are really pretty, I just don't hear much variation in them. So, like with RedOne, producers that only have a certain sound feel like a step back for Ayu. At the same time, maybe Ayu's track with DD will be refreshing, especially compared to some of the overused production motifs: the expansive strings, the plain piano ballad.

I'm going to err on Nintendo's side on Sayonara. Usually, if I feel positive about something Ayu is doing, I tend to end up enjoying it more. The only exception, albeit recent, was A ONE, which I genuinely thought would not be as good as it turned out.

Still, I really wish Nintendo would post their perspective on DD. Maybe there's something about DD that we overlook?
