When people talk about her voice changing, or her vibrato or her falsetto or whatever, I'm just like....

Compare HANABI 2003 a-nation to HANABI Asia Tour 2008. There you go, lol.

Is it? She hardly ever has happy, breezy songs like this. It's usually emo music or over-the-top happy like Beautiful Fighters.

side-note: BF actually has pretty sad lyrics, totally surprising. <3

I like this song. Though it's one of those types of warm, sweet songs like sweet season, winding road, beautiful day and etc that I can only listen to on occasion lol. Songs like this are good from ayu but will never be listened to a lot by me simply because of their style.

Usually songs like this are album tracks which suits them well.

Also I like her voice here.

I particularly love the arrangement of this song. Actually well done

After several listens, I can say I don't like it at all.
The chorus and the way she sings really are annoying to me.

This!
The instrumentation and production is nice and neat, too bad I don't like the way she sings it and the "Hello new me~ Hello new me~" but it matches the Drama I supposed. Is it wishful thinking to not have this included in the album?

It's not bad, but not particularly good either. Her way of singing is not really appealing to me, but at least the production is nice.

This song was composed for a Japanese TV drama, and it's pretty similar to all the songs I've heard on those dramas. It was composed aiming the Japanese people so it's pretty normal that some people here find it a bit different from the usual things that she's been doing lately. Overall it fits perfectly with the drama and its atmosphere.

This song is so refreshing and calm. Perfect to listen to on a nice spring/summer day, really. I feel like this is one of the tracks that was born after she changed her mind about the album's structure. I wonder if she'd have gotten the tie-in if this song weren't being made.

Ear copy lyrics from shigeytb02@YT:
Quote:
君と二人で居るとなんてことない出来事
なのに突然笑いが止まらなくなったり
I love it そんなのって素敵じゃない

君と二人で見るとモノクロだった景色が
一気にカラフルに色付いていくよね
I love it こんなのって初めてなの

広いような狭いこの不思議で
たった一人に出会えた奇跡ね

Hello new me Hello new me
新しい私で新しい毎日を作ってく

私たち二人って対照的な性格
だからこそなのかなバランスがいい感じ
We love it 少しずつわかってきた

ゆっくりね焦らずやさしくね
大事に二人で育てていきたい

Hello new me Hello new me
新しい私と君で誰よりも幸せに

Hello new me Hello new me
新しい私で新しい毎日を作ってく

Wow...
Hello new me Hello new me
新しい私と君で誰よりも幸せに
This really seems like an anthem for her new life in LA. I feel like this song could be given a bit of an edge if it were remixed.

awww she sounds so cute in it <3.
It's a nice song, not special, but pretty. ayu has a lot of these so after this I'm ready for more up beat stuff.

People here hate ayu's efforts in sounding cute I suppose? =P

It took me three listenings to appreciate it. I'd say its not mindblowing but its nice. Its one of those songs one would listen when waking up after ditching the bitches out of your life the night before.
