Links to SWEETBOX's versions of (miss)understood songs
http://www.avexnet.or.jp/sweetbox/

click discography, and listen to the previews nice english versions of ayu songs.

"This album was originally going to be called 'Bold & Delicious' which is a song performed by Sweetbox, yet as they gave permission to Ayumi Hamasaki to sing the Japanese version, they changed the name to avoid confusion."

also to avoid confusion:

Ayu didn't copy ANYTHING at all. It was like this:

*Ayu said she liked sweetbox
*Sweetbox gave ayu a tape of 12 songs that they'd like Ayu to record.
*Ayu picked out a few (rainy day, Bold & Delicious, Pride, Ladies night, In the Corner)
*Ayu rewrote the lyrics
*Ayu let people remake the arrangement of the song
*Ayu released the songs
*Sweetbox released the songs (altough In the corner was already released)

I heard these as well... I was shocked with beautiful girl, didnt expect that one :p Ayu's versions are better mainly because of the amazing arrangement put into every one of Ayu's songs. Hmmm... Now I'm curious as to how Ayu will sound if she uses the other compositions of sweetbox like Addicted...

edit:
hey wasn't in the corner a sweetbox song as well? from what album is in the corner in? I want to listen to seetbox's version

Whoa, these versions sound really weird... and the lyrics make me want to cry. It's like some 13 year old girl wrote them.

icky....that's all I can say is icky....

Ayu's songs are way better from what I've heard on these previews...I'm so glad I didn't preorder this. It's so bland and out of touch.

Thanks for the link, i'm a huge fan of Sweetbox! And I love the previews! People shouldn't really compare Sweetbox to Ayu as they are very different. I don't compare Sweetbox to S.H.E and I won't do so with Sweetbox & Ayumi. Just enjoy the songs!

[this post contains micster's views. they 100% correct to him]

I would rather slit my wrists than hear those dusle tones AGAIN. GOD i would rather listen to the entire A BALLADS album 100000 times than listen to just 1 of those tracks

Ayu states in all booklets and other info "composition: GEO from SWEETBOX"... so yes.

Ouch, I hate them. They're so boring and dull. And I agree, the lyrics do make you think a 10 yr old wannabe britney wrote them.

Ayu's arrangements sounds fuller and more "japansey" (=P). This sounds more stripped and hip-hoppey.

From the previews, I prefer Ayu. I like her voice a LOT more anyways. Interesting to hear.

In the Corner is an unreleased track from their Jade album. It's released in Raw Treasures.
Pride sounds better with Jade. At least her version actually sounds like gospel. Have to be honest though, Jade's vocals most of the so-called "(miss)understood" songs are weaker than her usual ones, like in Addicted and Break Down.

Um.. why in the world does she say "Just a beautiful girl?" or was the song renamed to "Beautiful girl?" XD ..

I like her voice, but the songs don't match her voice at all. Plus, I wasn't really a fan of her from doing the theme songs of FFX-2. Eh.
