As in the op itself or the song?
And besides it's an old song from 96 I think it has a nice arrangement. Obviously I do prefer Kazemo soramo kitto...

To be honest, I can't tell. Sometimes I wish they would try a little less synth but I think H/\L synth is probably one of the only ones I really like. (okay, a little off points)

I think for the most part, their post works are pretty good, but it tend to be the upbeat summer songs that really show the weakness, because IMO the composition wasn't strong to began with. Although (M)U is a good example of how a good arrangment can really affect the song.

I definitely noticed the change in HAL's works. When Atsushi Sato left the group, the programming and sounds that I recognized from select Ayu songs could be heard in his post-HAL works. The arrangements he did for SweetS, especially, are some of my all-time favorites.

The works from the current HAL aren't nearly as much to my liking as their old stuff, but I certainly don't think the group is worthless. The guys have their certain sound ("safe" as it may be), and they do it well. I would like to see new people do work for Ayu, though.

Wow, so it looks like one half of H/\L (Takehito Shimizu) has been working with Ayu for a while now as a guitarist while the other half (Toshiharu Umezaki) has been working with a new team, rearranging classical music. [ http://www.garage-classics.com/creator.html ]

So... did H/\L *as we know them* break up?
