[2008] kanariya thoughts

[Maemi]

i like the PV,and i love the song,but Ayu's 'high pitched' voice ruins the refren ;__;
i prefer the remixed versions though....

[Tom Punks]

I love kanariya and the PV. I don't really like the original mix and I'll never listen to it if I actually realize that it's playing, but there's something about it that's just... memorable as an Ayu song. I think it's just the PV's effect on me though. .__. It's one of my favorite Ayu PVs.

[Halla]

Kanariya is one of my favorite songs by Ayu. it's just so unique in her discography and the remixes of it are just awesome.

*points to my title*

[Chiharo]

I LOVE kanariya (original mix from LOVEppears) because it's so unique.
The only thing I didn't like are those annoying backing vocals.
But nevertheless this song is great.

The one and only one good remix from Jonathan Peters for ayu.

Ayumi Hamasaki - Appears (Avex)
Ayumi Hamasaki - Audience (Avex)
Ayumi Hamasaki - Karnariy (Avex)
Ayumi Hamasaki - Seasons (Avex)

and he got typo in his official site .

Off-topic: He can spell Kumi's name wrong too.
Kumi Kouda - Take Back (Avex)

technically, that is the correct way. her birth name is 神田來未子 (kouda kumiko) but she goes by the name 倖田來未 (kouda kumi) in the music business. Her surname 倖田 is pronounced as こうだ(kouda) which shows that the 'o' sound is extended (ko-u-da). In Japanese, when the う(u) sound follows an 'o' sound, it implies that the vowel is an extended sound, it's just that usually when transcribed into English, the extended vowel is cut out. Hence, kouda then becomes koda.

I've always thought this song was singularly unique for Ayu because the lyrics are very mysterious, not easily interpreted, and quite poetic, unlike most of her other songs (especially nowadays). The PV remix of the song is one of my all-time favorite Ayus, but I still can't stand the original mix. In my opinion, R&B is not music (just kidding!)

That doesn't make any sense. The original has the same lyrics as the remix. The music isn't techno, but it's still music. I don't understand how it's not.

P.S. The jewel covered Ayu was gorgeous You could see her panties while they were covering her with jewels in the making of. just fyi.

I was just saying that while I love the lyrics, I dislike the original mix music-wise because of my general distaste for R&B style music. The electronic remixes more suit my tastes.

[ll moments ll]

actually, kanariya's one of my favorite Ayu songs! it's so different & unique from her other songs.

the PV is amazing too. i just love the overall feel to it.

kanariya means canary... or did you mean the typo. LOL.

just because you don't like R&B, that doesn't give you the right to say it's "not music". that's ridiculous...

I mean the typo in Jonathan Peters website lol.

[Kikaru]

I tend to forget about that song...

But I do like the original R&B version, because I thought it was kinda cool that she done an R&B song, and I'm not really fond of the remixes because dance-trance have never really been my cup of tea (I can stand it mildly on Loveppears, but anything trancier is just...no for me). Although I'm not really fond of how her voice sounds in it.

The original version is something that I would really like her to resing again, only in lower octaves so that it wouldn't be so piercing.
