I've grown to be OK with Days over the years, but at the time it came out it definitely wasn't my cup of tea. Part of it is that I'm not the biggest fan of her light, airy ballads where she uses that kind of voice -- I'm a much bigger fan of her full-voice ballads. But there are some that I like, such as Together When..., etc.

Days was very well received by the Japanese public, I think, because it's a pretty standard J-Pop song. To me, I think it's just a very uninspired song -- and, as I think can be the problem for a lot of people, in Ayu's huge discography it just gets a little bit lost. There's nothing wrong with the track, it just feels predictable and generic to me a lot of the time.
