It's awesome!!
Believe me when I say that "you ain't heard nothin' yet".
The preview only presents a small taste of a very dynamic powerful song and Ayumi delivers yet another amazing passionate vocal performance from the first note to the last! Plus, Mr. Yuta does his genius arrangement again.
Gives me chills every time I hear it!
Dare I say again that it's epic?
Well anyway, hope you don't have to wait too long.

I love you for taking the time to update us on ayu songs before they're released. Your mixing is awesome - I seriously can't wait to hear the final song! Yuta Nakano is a genius and I'm confident this song will be amazing having known about him working on it. Thanks so much for updating us

This part really made me laugh though, because it's so true for most ayu song previews but people still are so quick to judge a full song by them. I'd say about 90% of the time the people who complain about hating a preview wind up praising the full song and eating their words Ayu's songs are usually so complex you can't judge them by short previews. You need the whole thing for the full effect.

Agreed. As I've said before I've learned my lesson. I wasn't impressed with the R'nRC previews, but dang that album was fierce and to me, even the preview of progress sounds amazing at the least.

It sounds very remixable too. Nice!

Your numbers are questionable.

For this me, in that "10%", I feel that she continues to release the same style without anything fresh. For years I've seen most people just absolutely love every single 10 seconds of a preview they get and know that its going to be a super amazing song. Yet this forum continues to promote such a biased opinion that chases out those who differ.

At any rate. She still makes the majority of you happy and that's great. Unfortunately, for me, she continues to go flat. I'll always be a fan of her for what she did give and that shouldn't discredit my fandom for her simply because stans can't handled a difference of opinion.

Definitely a true statement. For me I see where you are coming from, but thankfully, over time, I always come to appreciate each era of music as it passes. Well, I guess the NEXT LEVEL > R'n'R era wasn't my favorite as I grew tired of most of the stuff before it even fully grew on me - but sometimes I really fall in love with stuff I wasn't "in love" with over time. GUILTY definitely (grew to love fated, Together When..., untitled which at first I felt was lackluster). Same with the Love songs era. Hated MOON for so long (lackluster), crossroad and the entire L single I thought was very bland at first, but soon I came to love them - the album as well.

Sure, I always miss the days when Ayu's music was so fierce and epic from first listen onwards, but I have learned to go into everything with little to no expectations or hopes and that way I am usually satisfied or pleasantly surprised.

So when we like everything Ayu does and don't think the same way you do we're stans? Why would you even care about what someone else thinks about your opinion? It's quite normal that people who are members of an Ayumi Hamasaki forum get biased towards her work. Heck I didn't come her to read how everything she does is terribly bad all the time especially when there are so many places you can read that kind of **** at...
