^ I forgot how beautiful the lyrics were ....

I wonder who these were dedicated to.

[Amai Yume]

I actually pictured like music coming to life or something like that; she has telekinesis in a way...it's kind of weird but it helps me appreciate the song more

I like Stay Gold too, it's just probably my least fav. Although I LOVED it when I heard the preview - it just was a little too repetitive so I totally preferred [and still do prefer] HEART STATION

[pommy48]

oh thank you, the lyrics are really beautiful!

[AyUta]

^ No problem ^_^
Yeah, I really like the lyrics too. Hikki has always been one to write amazing lyrics.

[pommy48]

yep yep~flavor of life is , i cried when i read the lyrics!!!

[Luv ~Venus~]

Flavor of Life was beautiful song to me but it didn't have hardcore emotions IMO. I really love how she stars off in the song. It's just instantly caughty. "Arigato to Kimi..."

I dunno, a simple bridge added on would've been nice.

I luv Stay Gold and it repetitious chorus...but tbh, when I play it, I forget that's playing because of the long melody that fellow after the chorus. (@___@)

[CHE.R.RY]

^ LOL That's another song that feels too long IMO...'Flavor of Life'. After 3 mins. I'm just like 'ehhhh' and skip to the next song. So basically, I like the first 3 mins. of it lol.

[AyUta]

^ lol sucks.
I like the song but sometimes I don't like it. Especially the upbeat version @.@

[pommy48]

eww..the antidote version too~, i only really noticed the song since it was on HYD

[Amai Yume]

Uptempo version RULES
Ballad version is nice too but nowhere as good

The antidote is the best version on FOL. It sorta reminded me of Addicted to You.

[GRACE]

My question about Flavor of Life, is why bother promoting the Ballad Version as the "Ballad Version"

Why not just call that Flavor of Life, and have the original one be called something different..?

[Amai Yume]

She made the original one first?

[Luv ~Venus~]

^

I'm going with Amai on this one

[CHE.R.RY]

^ Yeah but the 'ballad version' is most commonly referred to. It's almost like the original mix doesn't even exist lol.

[pommy48]

@_@ there's an original version? @_@...yeah i knew that, is it that upbeat version? or kinda fast? compared to the ballad version?

[Amai Yume]

Yeah, the original version is the uptempo version.
My only guess is that she made it first thus it was like the song and then a ballad version was done later...

[pommy48]

oh ok then i heard of it hehe, she probably didn't know that the ballad version would be so much more popular...

[CHE.R.RY]

^ Who knows? But sometimes remixes of certain songs are more well-known than the original mix. It's weird how that happens...but anyways, the ballad version is way better IMO. I guess I'm just so used to 'Flavor of Life' being a ballad that I can't picture it as anything else.

[AyUta]

So there's 3 versions...
FOL -Ballad Version-
FOL -Antidote Version-
&
FOL -Original Version-
I go for the ballad and antidote versions.

What did you guys think of the antidote version? Hardly anyone talks about it.
