I love Bold & Delicious/Pride! One of my favourite singles!
Bold & Delicious is just so fun and refreshing. Admittedly, I hated the song at first, but after the intial shcok it really grew on me. I absolutely adore Ayu's vocals in the song. Somehow, Ayu can make high-pitched screaching sound appealing. One of my favourite pop songs by Ayu. Also, I always seem to love the lyrics to Ayu's super teeny bopper songs like B&D and INSPIRE. They are always deceptively simple and have a lot more substance to them than they seem to have. This is a song you either love or hate, and I'm glad I love it.
Pride is absolutley gorgeous. It's like the ultimate power ballad. I love the juxtaposition of Ayu's subtle, careful singing during the verses that contrast sharply with her oversung and showy vocals during the course. The haunting children's choir heard during the song, the poignant lyrics, superb vocals and the beautiful arrangment all make this song truly special. One of Ayu's most memorable ballads (whether you like it or not)
