Omg I got excited that it was a brand new album when I got the notfication from CdJapan lol XD

[Aderianu]

This song was fun during live, not sure how interesting it will be as studio recording

Anyway I'm so glad ayu doing something, even if it's tribute song

[koumori]

Here is an auto-translation of a letter from Kishidan's frontman about the cover album. This seems really sweet and I'm so happy that the band can be acknowledged like this! I can't wait to hear Ayu's studio version

I wrote "One Night Carnival" in 1999.

I remember when that melody suddenly came to me on a street corner at the end of the 20th century. I brought it to the studio and discussed the arrangement with the members, but I didn't get a good response.

I remember everyone feeling reluctant when I played the melody in the studio and wanted to talk about the arrangement with the band members, because up to that point Kishidan was an instrumental band. The members had a hard time with the idea of "making a song" in and of itself, regardless if the song was good or not. Still, for some reason, I had some kind of conviction that this song would definitely be great, and I used all my words and all my persuasive tricks to convince them, and somehow we managed to complete it and started to perform it live. To my surprise... or rather, as I had the secret hope would happen, the situation around us started to change in the blink of an eye after we started playing this song together.

After that, an indie version of the song was released in 2001, and the following year, a major version was released by Toshiba EMI, and the song became Kishidan's signature song in both name and reality.

It's been 20 years since then (in the style of Brother Kimimaro...)

I thought I'd polished it to a shine by myself, but as it turns out, the group did that together, and now thanks to you and all of your support, it's still shining brightly. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all my friends who continue to listen, sing, and dance to this song. I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude and love to all of you.

That being said...isn't this "All Night Carnival" album too good to be true? I'm proud that I can say I had a brief glimpse of intuition on the level of Nostradamus (lol), but I could never have imagined a future where this song would be covered by such an incredible group of musicians and artists. I'm so happy that I'm crying. This is the greatest gift in my life. I'm so happy I'm in Kishidan. I love you all.

I can't wait for Ayu's version. Yay!

[Evan Odinson]

The live performance at Hotel Love Songs Tour was so much fun!!! Can't wait for this studio version, wish they sing together again! Kishidan also covered Boys & Girls, a live mashup/medley would be REALLY cool!

[mi|kshake]

Looking forward to hearing Ayu's (and Kumi's) version! It's nice to get new music even if it's not an original song.

[Ashen Twilight]

I personally want mCAT and Ayu to collaborate again. A is amazing.

Still looking forward to this. Who knows at this point Ayu may do a cover album “best.”

She also could record a studio version of DEPARTURES (as she sang it live during a-nation) as a new song for this compilation album and that's it.

I was considering only the songs she recorded in studio and officially released by her. If aves makes an Ayu's "cover best", it would be lazy af as they normally do, so I was just considering only one new song recorded for that project hehe

Yes! but technically I wouldn't call this one and the (miss)understood tracks "covers" tho, these are more like samples imo, even if they were released by the original artists she basically used them as demos, re-writing completely the lyrics and using only the melodies/arrangement.

Memorial Adress was originally a song called "kumo" by indie japanese band LOVER SOUND TRACK, it was composed by Yukumi Tetsuya (he was in that band) who agreed to let Ayu use the melody and write her own lyrics (guess that's why the "Take 2 version"). Since then Ayu worked in many songs with Tetsuya, he composed most of the songs from MY STORY, and worked on secret, guilty, NEXT LEVEL and Rock n Roll Circus, he even composed MY ALL lol

Here's a short clip of "Kumo" I found on twitter!
