So I just listened to the single.

The ballad (both with SRM and solo) is okay. It's not as bad as some people said. I prefer it without the video, because the video is just promo for the movie really. But it's a nice Stephanie-esque ballad, and I am happy (but not THRILLED) with it.

KISSES is amazing, I've been listening to that a lot. I'm glad that the b-side was so excellent, it would have been easy for them to throw it away and give us crud.

Changin' is a nice add-on, especially since I love that song, and I think Steph sings it better solo (even though I love Roma, I enjoy the song more when Steph sings it by herself).

Not a BAD single (the cover is pretty, but did someone tell this girl she has an ugly smile? Because she never seems to lol) but the a-side and PV could use a bit of work. Otherwise, not completely bad. Let's hope she has some lives and the movie has promotion so it'll sell!

I hope she's going to have some live performances for the song.

Here are the lyrics to KISSES (I did it first since I have listened to it more than the a-side xD)

Toki ga tatte mo
Kawaru koto ga nakute
Massugu na FEELING

Mune ga yamu hodo ni
Kitai tsunorasete wa sou
Fuan ni nattari shite

Soshitara
Tsukisasaru SMILE
Watashi wa sarau no

Setsunai kisu nara
Nando kawashita n darou
Sono tabi ni nanika ni utareteta
Kanashii yoru mo
Aenai hi mo tobikoete
OH THAT KISS JUST NEVER
FADES AWAY

Toki ni wa chotto
Kawaigenai kedo kamo ne
Tsuyogari dakara

I'M SURE THAT IT'S OBVIOUS
Wakariyasui koto deshou
YOU KNOW THAT
I DO LOVE YOU BABY

Dakara SAY SAY SAY
Tsukisasaru PHRASE
Kikasete hoshii yo

Yasashii kisu nara
Nando demo tarinai no
Wagamama ni dakishimete ite
Kono shunkan wo
Kokoro ni yakizukete
OH THIS KISS WILL NEVER
FADE AWAY

REMEMBER THE TIMES
WE CAME ALONG
STILL WE HAVE
SO MUCH MORE TO SHARE

Tada kimi wo aiseru ima wo
Tsukande itai
ALL THE TIME
ALL THE WAY

Setsunai kisu nara
Nando kawashita n darou
Sono tabi nanika ni utareteta
Kanashii yoru mo
Aenai hi mo tobikoete
OH SO I CAN HAVE THAT
KISS FROM YOU
Yasashii kisu nara
Nando demo tarinai no
Wagamama ni dakishimete ite
Kono shunkan wo
Kokoro ni yakizukete
OH THIS KISS WILL NEVER
FADE AWAY

I didn't see this single on Oricon at all. Does anyone know how it sold?

And how did the movie do?

It is pretty sad. I think Stephanie has a really nice voice. And she's very beautiful/pretty as well.

One thing I didn't like about Pride was that SRM was featured in it. I would have preferred Stephanie only in the song and PV.

Oh wells, here's hoping her next song will be more successful. ^^

This single was pretty good. The PV was horrible, but the songs were actually quite good, especially KISSES! =[

She really could made a better pv! If her single flopped, the pv is one of the reason!

It's not her fault, it's SONY's fault. I doubt she had much say in the PV's concept/direction.

As far as I know, the movie didn't chart on the top 10 so I don't know how much help that would do. The single itself didn't do well so I don't expect any live performances. How is she supposed to promote it now?
