edit: argh, wrong thread lol

Really different from her previous songs, Sparkle sounds like a 'modern' version of songs from Loveppears. Her voice is really cute and sweet even if the arrangement is powerful.
I'm really surprised by her *_*

Still not exactly sure what to make of it. It's not bad but I'm not exactly WOW either. It probably grow on me, though. Maybe in the context of Next Level it'll be great. I wasn't that keen on the singles of GUILTY as well, when they were released. But on the album they suddenly fit. I really can't wait for the album now.

i LOVE IT... I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M SAYING THIS BUT I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT, CAUSE I THOUGHT THE SPARKLE PREVIEW KIND OF SUCKED...

However, i don't think the no no no was a good add at all. The music has a kind of sexy/erotic feeling i don't she made before in any song ( there were sexy, cute o even coquetish, but not this) ... which is amazing!!!!!


Still, though this is amazing, i think Rule rocks (a bit) more. I'm glad RULE is the a-side of the single anyway

Is it really that much slang ._....? Is it just the way it's phrased? Because word by word, I'm no scholar of Japanese, but I've heard enough music to recognize words she's used before. So is it how she strung the words together? What?

It sounds really good~ x3 I wasn't expecting so much techno though, the Honda CM really made it seem more rock-ish. Sucks that it won't have a PV.

Wah, I'm really impressed by this song. It also reminds me of a more modern LOVEppears style. It's been awhile since Ayu released a techno-ish song like this. I thought for sure she wouldn't return to this style. I'm thrilled that she did, and I hope to hear more songs like this on her upcoming album!!

The song is so catchy, I can't stop listening to it. I really love the music and it has great beats. The only thing I don't like is the end of her chorus where she kind of just drops off her singing... it kind of annoys me when she does that. Also, there are a bit too many "no no no"s going on, but it's okay.

As for the lyrics, I'll wait until masa translates, but I'm not getting anything really sexual from this? Certainly not like Kumi Koda's lyrics LOL. And, I'd rather take something a little bit suggestive from Ayu than some stupid lyrics she's done in the past. See: Real me (good lord, worst lyrics ever...), Ladies Night, STEP you, Beautiful Fighters... I think those lyrics are REALLY lame.

I love Rule more..
Also mainly because the message in Rule is very good and cool~
This one is just.. whatever.
It sounds like a remix~~ ahaha.

But as I said, many people here love these sexual and Koda Kumi like things.

But I already rejected one Koda Kumi..
I hope Next Level isn't all like this message.

I was watching my Stadium Tour dvd today..
Ahaha.. I cannot believe the same person made these lyrics..
Those days seem so far away~


I agree with you when you say it's actually something Kuu could have written, but i don't necesarily dislike it because of that . Now, with the lyrics , that is one of the reasons i think Rule rocks more. Rule indeed has a deeper message, but again, i think Sparkle is really cool and a breath of fresh air just like Rule and Green. She is indeed going to the next leve with her new cd

Thank you so much for posting the translation of Sparkle and looking at the translation, the subject resembles to me of the bold and delicious lyrics. actually, she is talking about the same thing; the change here is the mood in which Ayu wrote the song. This has a more erotic, sensual feeling

I don't understand what she is saying whatsoever, but based on arrangement and feel, I love it

Reminds me a lot of t.A.T.u 's "Cosmos (Outer Space)"

Sparkle has made me look more forward to the new album than GREEN and Rule did (and those songs had me excited, believe me). Sparkle is completley ayumi (well, apart from the lyrics) but at the same time, it's completley different.

Almost everything about the song I just found amazing. I have a kind of... love for trance-esque music. The singles leading up Next Level are absolutley brilliant. I just, can't wait. And I can't stop listening to Sparkle!

The lyrics don't bother me as much. I think it's only human she breaks away from writing deep, beautiful and meaningful lyrics for a song or two. I enjoy it for what it is; a damn good, catchy and fun pop song.

I definitely love this song and it'll become one of my favorites this year.
I loooove the break before the chorus starts.

The 2nd part of the verses reminds me a bit of the chorus from Rachel Stevens' "Negotiate for love".

like other people have been saying....the wow factor for sparkle is missing for me..... its feels empty. I like the song, but it did not wow me, like rule did. and I love techno trance stuff.....also the lyrics although not like koda kumi's lyrics, was a slight shock, since she put stuff like cute boys etc.

But I'm kinda sad the song feels like its missing something. when it got to the end of the song, i said "thats it?"

but i do love the beat to the song, and the synth sounds used. and the way she does end the chorus does sound funny.

Overall the song doesn't give me a super WOW, but it does give me quite an electric shock. Like most people said, it really drags me back to 1999, my beloved LOVEppears era. I haven't had this excitement from ayu fast song for a long long time. Frankly I don't like recent ayu songs because they are rock. I never like her rock songs that much. And you can guess that I love Sparkle more than Rule. To me Rule is just another typical nowadays ayu rock song.

If the materials NEXT LEVEL is something similar to Sparkle, I will be very satisfied .

I think the song is just Amazing. Ever since I heard it in the CM, I knew it was going to be awesome. If she has more songs like this in the new album i'll be really happy, i've been listening to Sparkle non-stop.
