HEAVEN made a lot bigger impression on me... one part I like in JEWEL is the second chorus (the part which is in the CM). It sounds like the most carefully and the best written, arranged and sang part. Or maybe it's just her voice double layered that makes it sound so good?... Either way, that part is the best, the rest is kinda bland. HEAVEN wins this one.

Her vibrato is just too strong for her softer notes. she can't control her range.

try singing a powerful note and then transition into a softer note. its hard. its hard on her. she's trying to belt the softer notes.

o.O Where is the bass in this song? Maybe the quality just isn't amazing; because I really feel like it should sound darker. But other than that; the song is really good. The arrangement, the voice (which is indeed sharper than normally, a vocal style Ayu did not use before) and the melody is awesome. Though; it would be nice if there was an instrumental part that climaxed.

This is a really beautiful ballad...its much better than the live version...but is Ayu running out of breathe? I could hear her breathing towards the end.

^I got 20% and managed to preview listen to it.

It's a bad mix of Ayu singing the ya ya ya ya ga ga ga ga da da da da wo wo wo wo-part of B&D over and over again.

It's fake.

I think this is not the ultimate version. For examen in the CM the voice is better and the instrumental is higher, so i think this version isn't just arranged. The album version will be better!

Eh....it's okay. I like it, but it's not her best....but I know I'll listen to it quite a bit. It doesn't even come cloes to comparison with HEAVEN, though.

Yeah, this actually annoyed me, especially in the beginning and first half.


I also think it sounds a bit... halfly done for an album. Especially since all the other tracks are really full. It's even simpler than forgiveness, and even than some of the tracks on ayu-mi-x VI . I really love the AOV, but... This feels a bit cheap somehow.

I really LOVE the song though it gives a little less impression than HEAVEN and voyage. I don't know how to explain because I like the melody just as much as the ones mentioned.

I like it and I'm not disappointed. I'm just a little surprised.

Mmm. I wonder if this is a radio rip? :|

It kinda just STARTS.

Mmm <3 Weird.. it sounds sort of like Ayu might've sung the chorus with tissue in her nose~ :O
Just something that stuck out that was really different from usual ballads..

It sounded very similar to the live version.. which was disappointing.. maybe its from a live we didnt know about it?.. and maybe thats whats with the disappointment?
ehh..its okay.. still a pretty song.. but i was hoping for more than just piano.. and a few other instruments in it.. I wanted a bit more power there..

I think that JEWEL has enough with its tamborine + piano <3

I mean if you add any more instruments people might say it's cluttered or something..
