What I didn't like: these guys singing, they sound so boring and lifeless zzzzzz It'd be 100% perfect if there was only Ayu singing. Also, there also could be (how can I say...) more strong "beats", instead of just the "tuts tuts" , I don't know if you'll get what I say, but whatever...

Other than that, I LOVED this song that bridge part tho, amazing, best song on sixxxxxx so far.

Also--I don't EVER want to see a live performance of this song without SpeXial, lest it turn out like that godawful performance of WIFL where she just flails around on stage for half the song

lol the preview sounded better. I need more oomph in this, it's quite repetitive and a bit bland at the spots where you would expect more going on. Also the guys are ruining it for me too. Don't even get me started on that cheesy line at the beginning lol However, it is definitely a million times better than anything on Colours. Might be a grower. I was really convinced i'm gonna love it at the first listen, though.

Omg this song is pure magic. I actually love it when she sings backup during the second and final chorus. She sounds so amazing!! I think this is the best collab yet. I didn't think I could get more excited for the mini but this just put me over my limit! I think this may be my favorite DAISHI DANCE song next to EMOTION by Miliyah Kato. Both sound atypical for him.

BTW, I wonder if Sorrows or Shape of love is going to be the song that features the new producer she mentioned meeting a while back? Or maybe it is for the secret sixth song?

Sayonara is pretty much the new anthem of this generation

Really? Because she did so well on that. It is more clear than the english in What is forever love imo. Thanks for confirming.

I think the whatevers will be less random when we read the lyrics and understand the context. Alltho it is amazing how much you dislike the song. Haha impossible! Is it the genre?

i don't mean her english. Well for the record i think the best part of the song is that closing line she said. I just think it's such a random word and it doesn't really give off the feeling i would think it should give. "Whatever" is really a weird choice for a song lol

I actually can listen to it, but i had higher expectations, cuz to me the preview from the live sounded much much stronger. I mean it has a melody which is good and i like the mood it gives, but it's lacking for me. I don't hate it though, i've already said it's definitely better than anything on Colours. And um yeah the genre is very hit or miss for me. If it's too simplistic is falls flat on it's face especially when there are no strong and impressive vocals to lead it. Ayu sounds nice, but that's all. I really would want more oomph in the chorus it just all sound very monotonous from the start to the end. It isn't awful but i'm not really impressed, it doesn't give me a rush of exploding energy. It is lazily energetic, like when you are half asleep doing something lol However, as i said i would take this in place of anything from Colours anytime.

Finished listen to the song for the first time...wow...the song is so fresh and modern..I really love the direction she is going now...please no TK song for a while...

I do wish that it will be more build up towards the end...
I love the mixing and mastering...
Ayu's vocal combine very well with SpeXial vocal...
Love the "uhhhhhh" backing vocal on second verse...very mystical...
Ayu's English is really good now...the sentence in the end..wow...I can hear her English very clear now...good job Ayu.

This mini album better sold very well...what a high hope I have in this mini album.

My rank for 3 songs that we already hear so far (All really close though...)

Summer Diary > Sayonara > Step by step

Sayonara is so cheap, like Brave Bros circa 2011 when the only work he could get was with those nobodies Rania l m a o

I'm actually FLOORED by how bad this song is. It's more listenable than the other 2 from this mini but hands down one of her worst ever in terms of quality @_@

Imma have to agree with you slightly. This is definitely better than the other two songs so far (which I still vehemently believe are just A ONE leftovers), but I feel like it's a grower.

All that said I liked ayu's lines at the end.

It's rather good! The momentum up until the chorus is a little disappointing since the beat of the chorus is kind of weak/poor, but everything else is great.
The spoken words in the end is probably my favorite part, her English has improved so much!

This release is shaping up to be one of her best in a long time!
