Thanks. I was curious about how he sounds. He's good but that doesn't mean he and Ayu's voices will go together. Should be interesting to see how the track turns out.

NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!! now I lost my hopes for the collab with Juno to be good... I thought that would be the better kind of male vocalist, but in my view he is absolutely the same as Naoya ....

I still hope that I got the wrong impression, and that the collab will be outstanding - good - ok.

the flowers and butterflies remind me of MOMENTS somehow

To me, "Dream ON" is like "Bold & Delicious" in that I'm glad she doesn't have a lot of songs like it, but... she's Ayumi Effing Hamasaki. She can afford to do whatever she wants, and it's fun watching her have fun while not giving a crap about maintaining the status quo--if only for one single.

I wouldn't mind a self-indulgent mini-album. I'll start to worry if her next full-length album full of "Dream ON"-esque collaborations.

That said, I think "Dream ON" is an ok song (not nearly as good as "B&D" ); the only part of "Dream ON" I really don't like is the ad-libbing (?) in the middle. There's a part where it sounds like her voice cracks, and I can't imagine why she would leave that in the final version. It bugs me every time I hear it.

[AyuGAME]

lot of people talking about shoes...which shoes? i don't see shoes in that photo

[BluishDays]

Awesome news!~ Can't wait for this

[susiowong]

I'm always impressed by how fast new material comes out of her.

[Maemi]

[oneheart]

[primavera♥]

[Fenio]

[LONJJONG]

wow, Leslie Kee directed her music video? looking forward for it!! ^^
I think it's BRILLANTE

[Mintkisses]

It almost feels like she's featuring newbies for the sake of trying to get them out there..? I don't know, maybe I was just expecting some better collabs.

Or using newbies - ones that will appeal to those that actually still buy stuff in Japan, such as the 10-16 age range - to increase her sales.

I'm sure the business-side is an AVEX decision and Ayu is just doing this because she wants to.

I hope for short haired covers. <3

[brener]

I hope for 150k copies sold in total!!

[pommy48]
