The melody is beautiful and all, but I'm not really into the lyrics.
It's repetitive, and it sounds like your typical tragic Ayu song.
"I wanted to say/do_____but I couldn't because_________".
I sort of expected her lyrics to be more "fresh" and slightly different.

I like it a lot. It's not as good as HEAVEN but thousend times better than JEWEL although I think the vibrato @ 3:22 is irratating.

It's the best song so far in 2007. If the direction of the album is similar to TW, I'll be so happy

I'm at school, so I can't download it.

I'm seeing a lot of 'good but not special'. I'm hoping I don't have the same reaction.

It's not as good as her old ballads, but I like it. The music reminds me of Key ~eternal tie ver.~.

It does sound a bit Duty-ish, Key-ish, overall has this one-of-the-songs-from-the-rest-of-the-album feel to it. Fine, but nothing really special...

If it does, well, I'll be the happiest girl in the world.

This album is shaping up to be something amazing --- I'm so glad I pre-ordered it!

All of her singles this year have been fantastic, and this is no exception. I'm just hoping for a big, dramatic PV to go along with it...

It's like a mix of all her ballads to me, but it's much more emotional IMO. I can't wait for a translation because the lyrics sound so sad to me...It's a great ballad, (BETTER than JEWEL) but it's not anything revolutionary like [Pride] [forgiveness] & [SEASONS] were when they first came out. This song would've been better off as an album track instead of as her first digital single.

I've never found that I've 100% loved an Ayu ballad, but that's just me with any ballad song really. XD

Otherwise, it's a lovely song, and has a very classic Ayu feel. :3

I think it's really good/nice. It reminds me of 'Who...' in the beginning but I have to say it's MUCH MUCH better than 'Who...', which I never really cared for. Her voice still sounds like it's going down the drain but she makes up for it by supporting her vocals with a lot of emotion. The song is very sorrowful but that's why I like it. The more I listen to it the more it grows on me which is a good thing. It's an Ayu classic

What about walking proud? Unless I'm mistaken lol.

Anyways about Together When..., love it. Good vocals without being too much in the resonance, and the arrangement is very nice.

Oh, you're right! And "no more words" too, haha.

But the change in "Together When..." was more different.

This is that "piano song" like she has in every album; I like it! =)

I like it more than Jewel, though I still like Jewel more...weird. Hehe.

I like it, very nice.

I really like this song. There were a few parts in the song that missed the mark, though. The melody could have been so beautiful but it seems like the songwriter picked the "wrong" note for my tastes.
Regardless, I look forward to the new album!
