Don't look back ~ opinions

[noisy_harmony]

So, full song was leaked today. What are your thoughts about it?

I say only that I chose first option. XD

[Lizzyboo]

i really like it! it kind of reminds me of inspire with the type of music i really like it though cant wait for the pv!!

[CHE.R.RY]

To be honest I'm afraid to listen to it! I don't want to ruin the surprise just yet like I did BIG time with GUILTY. So I'm debating whether I should take a listen or not lol.

yes, but it`s a hard temptation now, maybe to hard to resist......

[love in music]

I love it! I was so hoping it'd just be laid back and easy listening, and it is! (it does have some creepiness though, but I like it) I also think it's a very different sound for her.

I feel the same way! It's an easy listen but it's still hot & sexy. It's a sexy little thing. ;D

LOVE

Its seriously great. Awesome mix of traditional sounds with a modern touch of drum machines + electronic sounds.

[Kazeyomi]

I like it :3
Maybe I need more listens to love it, but overall it's a really nice song.
Like a better version of vogue (vogue it's pretty boring in my opinion)

Yeah, me too. The PV disappointed me.
I liked the opening, is similar with Vogue. But in my case, i LOVE Vogue. xP
Don't look back seems oriental song, but Vogue seems asiatic song.

[Cherry Dynamite]

LOL I was trying to restrain myself but I couldn't, I listened until the 1 minute mark.

I got to say it's different, I love the music but her vocals are a bit off to me.

[microphone]

third best on the new album behind BALLAD and You Were...
I feel it is a fast ballad song

[zellyx]

It's like a better vogue, with elements of criminal and a toned down INSPIRE melody..
I love it. A LOT. It's tied with Microphone... CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PV. I'm expecting something exotic.

[cavonzia]

i love the hindi's style

unfortunately the song is too repetitive,& the verse to low & short for me
but i like the chorus
(it's reminds me of kalafina's song on her new album)

well,this song really better than what i thought before on the CM

[axmish87]

I was HOOKED on it the first time i listened to it
in Panasonic CM
The Chorus is really catchy,and i like it

[TITANIC]

eww. I really dont like it. she tries to be different and try more cultural genre but it turned bad. Kuu could do it very well with Shake it and Candy but Ayu cant.

well the cultural things work well with koda's songs because they're all pretty much dance...

I don't really get that feeling from Ayu's at all...in fact, it's very different for me...not really pop...or dance, or rock, or any genre lol and not really anything similar to what kuu does.


Anyway, I like the song...it is, I mean, I was a little disappointed with the more monotone melody again, like we've been seeing so much...but I think she likes it for the drama. The song is weird too...it's dark...and kinda i dont know, just weird...

It isn't really the strongest song in terms of composition, but it has like, so much personality lol

The PV is crazy.

this is what i wanted to hear/read!

people were expecting something "middle-easternish" because of the song, and I'm glad ayu did something completely different.





no matter what people say, the direction and editing of this pv is 10/10

if it was boring is something totally different, to me at least it wasn't.



i cant wait to watch it HQ!!!!



tragic-mental ayu is <3




EDIT: LOL at people comparing with namie's latest album. ayu is doing something a lot more experimental, i would say one of her most experimental works...

namie instead, with past<future took the easy road and went for a style that is very popular atm... so it was easy for her to get good sales and of course thanks to her popularity nowadays...

[mobius]

I love it! I wish they speed up the song a little bit, but for now, its very good. I'm intrested in seeing the tour performance, belly dance???

It does sound a little like "How deep is your love" from Dru Hill

Hmm.. I disagree and think Ayu pulled it off a lot better, it just sounds more original and meaningful to me with Don't look back. But those Koda songs are catchy.

[ownsarai]

Hmm, she CAN pull it off...she did it just fine with INSPIRE, which is a great song.
Don't look back is a really nice song. I did get an INSPIRE feel from it, which made me really enjoy it. I believe R'n'R C will be a superb album all the way through.
