『MOON』 New medium ballad title revealed!

[ayu-marco]

just hearing the preview
i like MOON so much

[Lanz16]

In the preview, I love it so much.
I love the melodies, its kinda nostalgic since the composer is from her ASfXX era.

About on the rumored single, I doubt its fake.
MOON/SKYLINE is such a good title to be true.

[AyUta]

Idk...it sounds alright, but then again it doesn't. Or at least not to my liking. I need to wait for the full thing .

[AyuGAME]

i love it even more after see that honda cm...
the way ayu sing it really make me remember old ayu, its kinda raw and emotional...love it

I ADORE Curtain call. I think it's perfect and under-appreciated. As far as Life, I never listen to it. I kind of forget it exists like teens and a song is born. I just hope MOON turns out to be better than the preview leads on. Previews suck in that respect they ruin the essence of a song.

As for Last Links, I see why people eat up that song. But really, an Ayu song only disappoints me when I feel like ANYONE in the world can sing it. Maybe it's just me but I'm not moved by her emotion for this track. It's her vocals I have a big problem with (and that crappy chorus). I LOVE the lyrics though.

I've based my opinion of a 15 second clip on a 15 second clip, yes. When the full song comes out I'll decide whether or not I like it but so far the clip leaves much to be desired.

Well, I think anyone in the world could've sung it, but that goes for a lot of Ayu songs. In Ayu's case though, only she could've written a lot of the songs that she has, haha.

[Bigtop]

I hope I can listen it in full; my estimate is that it could be five minutes long; maybe slightly longer or shorter or such...

And my estimate that it could be released sometime in late July or even August...

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

if she is singing it at her concerts already this song shouldnt take long to be released right??? I mean, even next month or something??

Last Links her most generic & unoriginal? Even compared to Days, Sunset, glitter, and a lot of the ASFXX album?

Ayu does not have that many songs anyone could sing or would sound as good if anyone else have sung them. She has a uniqueness to her music that is just missing from Last Links. I don't HATE Last Links, it's a nice listen. But it just falls so low below the bar for me as far as Ayu's music is concerned.

Even compared to those songs Last Links is the worst as far as originality. It's not about the instrumentals or composition of this particular song. I don't feel anything from it at all. Her voice doesn't deliver the song. Even in Sunset her vocals are better (as my friend who doesn't like her would describe, "sexy" ). When I say anyone could sing it, I literally mean anyone could sing it, because Ayu's emotion are not there in my opinion. And it feels so rushed, it seems like she's singing the entire song through without stopping because she wants to get it over with. In the universally agreed generic song Days, Ayu's voice is FILLED with emotion and sweet tenderness and that is why Days has captivated a lot of fans and is STILL on the charts (in one way or another). But this isn't about those, this is about the 15 sec clip of MOON, which so far seems to deliver as much as Last Links which is nothing at least to me. But I'll wait for the full song because I still really want to hear it.

[Ayusan]

wow what a "fight" for 15 sec. of a song lol

Personnally I have no real opinion for MOON for the simple reason it's 15 seconds O.O though I have an odd feeling but how can you hate it or love it with 15 sec ?! Lucky that we don't judge humans only by their clothes we saw for 15 seconds or we would miss a lot on earth I think !

Anyway yeah, she already sing it in lives, I wonder if we will have to wait until july, august .... sounds odd to me. A good parts of their fans would already known the song by the time. Or she won't release it ? Or only as digital .... don't have a clue at all.

It's like, hard for me to understand how you can think that about Last Links but okay I think the exact opposite of you on Last Links and Days. It's like, imagine someone saying "Sparkle" is super bland and boring and her most boring dance song ever.. you'd be like "what?!" that's how I feel about what you're saying about Last Links...like for me, it's so far from the truth. But I think it's interesting that you think of it that way.

LOL @ this

I'm sorry~ I'm one of the people that's formed a strong opinion based on the clip. I loveee it. I feel like it's going to be as epic as Moments! It doesn't remind me of Moments or anything, but I feel like it's gonna be her best ballad since then.

I'd also personally love if this song came out next month. I want more than two singles for the next album, please.

[hsienko]

I like it. But I think it's too early to form a 'real' opinion because the CM versions tend to suck. Like I remember how awful Sparkle and GAME sounded in the Honda and Panasonic commericals.

Lol that's why everyone is different! I admit, I was super cranky I don't think nearly as negatively about Last Links as I let off. I still think it's unoriginal though lol.

So I found the lyrics of MOON from someone who went to one of the concerts and took down the lyrics on the screen.

While there can still be mistakes, depending on whether or not the person wrote them down 100% correctly or not, here they are:

僕たち出会った夜は
幻想の中に紛れて
夢とリアルを行き来したから
幻のように消えてった

あの日の月は遠すぎて
記憶も曖昧なままで
君の姿はぼやけてたから
忘れられるはずだったんだ

傷つけた心が初めて見せた涙を
この手でそっと拭う
勇気がなくてごめんね

ねぇ優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠と永遠信じられるように
だからもうそんな悲しい瞳で
震える声で聞かないで...
「愛してる？」

手をのばせば届きそうな月を
二人で見上げたね
綺麗過ぎて苦しかったから
泣きだしそうになったんだ

瞳を閉じて誓った祈りが
叶うのならば
もうそれ以上他には何も
何にもいらない

ねぇ優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠と永遠信じられるように
だからどうか君は笑っていて
幸せだよと聞かせて...もう一度

優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠を永遠信じられるように
だからもうそんな悲しい瞳で
震える声を隠して聞かないで...
ねぇ愛してる？

優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠と永遠信じられるように
だからどうか君は笑っていて
幸せだよと聞かせて
もう一度





They weren't on the main page, but have they been posted in full yet?
haha...

Anyway, they were on an Ameba blog~

[ayane4ever]

That doesn't sound like what I have from my TA chaku-uta.

I really hope the final version is the chaku-uta one, and not this. This version sounds horrid to me...

tokyoxjapanxfan, nice lyrics!! them~~

[AyUmIXx]

MOON..
all i can say, I really need a HQ ver..
listening to the preview, I still don't really find it that special yet..
but what Max and Ayu mentioned about MOON for being like a nostalgic song to the old Ayu... and it's been a special song to Ayu and Max..
