why was Love~Destiny~ so popular?

Is there a reason why this particular song was the first Ayu single to hit number 1 on the charts? Is it because Tsunku composed the music?? I don't know what's so special about this song...

i love the song, but i cant speak for everyone else, and i didnt love it straight away. it seems weird that it would be the first ayumi #1

I dunno, I didnt really like the song. But it's one of my favorites now. softie.. -_-

hm? never really seemed incredibly popular to me. but if it is, my guess would be its because its an b-side.

true, I had forgotten about the lyrics. ..the lyrics..

MTRLevolution · #8 2nd December 2003, 02:34 AM

since 1999 was the best version. duets kick ass.

I would guess that being the theme song for Fuji TV drama helped it get to #1.

hanabiwings · #10 2nd December 2003, 06:22 AM

The theme song component, the tsunku collaboration (very much this element), and the fact that this new singer, Hamasaki Ayumi, had an album that had gone to number one (A Song for XX did hit 1, right?) and a pretty hot single called WHATEVER just prior really made this song hit. And I think it was her first huge one. It cemented her fame. And the lyrics LOL Definitely the lyrics.

"well can i loving you forever?"

"where is true love? fall in love it's true."

kournikova · #12 2nd December 2003, 12:58 PM

i think it is because of the melody and her sweet lyric... i mean not sweet but it is reality... based on our situation... the translation of love destiny can be found at www.ayumi.primenova.com/lyrics/lovedestiny.htm you will find the sweetest lyric there

Larisa-chan · #13 2nd December 2003, 05:45 PM

ohh thanks, the lyrics really are nice... I was surprised that WHATEVER didn't hit number one, but at least it helped Love~Destiny~!

gakkun · #14 4th December 2003, 09:37 AM

I agree with the things people have said, but I also think that it's because it's pretty mainstream pop-ish. TO BE was released after the success of LOVE ~Destiny~ and because it's much more melancholy it did worse than the former...so I think the song's mainstream-ness has something to do with it.

**Ryoko** · #15 7th December 2003, 02:12 AM

The lyrics most definetly.. I think the Japanese people at that time really felt those lyrics.

miruku · #16 14th December 2003, 06:23 AM

i know what u mean...... i don't really find that song to be special.. probabli b/c i don't really like her debut songs

Seiferz · #17 14th December 2003, 02:17 PM

For Me the song itself really touch my heart ... so peace & i like hear it at midnight

M_aria · #18 22nd December 2003, 11:31 PM

Personally, I hate Love~Destiny, I just can't stand it. However I love TO BE.

kurissu-chan · #19 11th April 2004, 08:04 AM

when if first heard the last part of the chorus which is 'wasurenai', I got hooked. it meant 'i won't forget you' or something. plus, the melody was something i went crazy over. I love it, like most ayu fans (probably) would. ^_^

kournikova · #20 11th April 2004, 09:13 AM

yep wasurenai means i wont forget you... ^^ you can read the translation in the link i posted a while ago ^^... i love all the trilogy of LOVE (destiny, Since 1999, Refrain)
