^yeah, she sounds different! she sings a bit higher than usually, it reminds me her old times

truehappiness · #**122** 20th August 2011, 06:02 PM

Oh wow, Ayu sounds so different in Why...!

So now all we really need to hear is BRILLANTE and ANother song. It feels a bit weird not having more songs that still have to be revealed, haha.

Hit the nail on the head.

Well, now that I listened the song 3 or 4 times, I agree when you say it's Jpop ballad, not an Ayu ballad. Maybe it's a good song, but it could have been any other Jpop singer's song.

Not bad, but not as ayuish as we wanted.

PD: I loved DREAM ON, so I want to listen ANother song!!! I think Urata Naoya is not that bad...

Kazeyomi · #**125** 20th August 2011, 06:14 PM

I never thought Ayu and JUNO's voices could work so good together. Ayu should take more vocal lessons imo, because her voice is great on Why...
I agree with some of you though. Why.. sounds a bit too generic but in a strange way for me. I mean, it's one of those generic songs that you like to listen to. Although they're not breathtaking or experimental.
Actually I'm looking forward the HQ version, because Why... it's really interesting.

puddinx · #**126** 20th August 2011, 06:22 PM

I like Why.

I think their vocals match perfectly. For me so far it's Ayu's best collab song.

puddinx · #**127** 20th August 2011, 06:32 PM

Too bad Why.. is only 3:51 minutes. :p

truehappiness · #**128** 20th August 2011, 06:34 PM

I think progress and BRILLANTE are probably the only 'adventurous' tracks on the mini album, but that's usually how the track breakdown is lately. I'm fine with that though, lol.

I agree the song is jpop generic I don't like it but I don't hate it... And JUNO actually sounds good.

elvis810 · #**130** 20th August 2011, 06:37 PM

I hope 'BRILLANTE' will be as amazing as Sparkle!

I think that's a good length, keeps it from becoming boring.

YESSSSS. Why... is absolutely amazing!! now THIS is an ayu quality ballad. -puts on repeat-

adantatu2 · #**133** 20th August 2011, 07:29 PM

Wow, her voice sounds beautiful !!!!
the voice of the guy is nice too, and is better than NAOTA, i like this song, not the best, but is better than beloved, IMO.

progress > Why... > beloved

joshohhhhh · #**134** 20th August 2011, 07:45 PM

i like her voice. she isn't struggling and it's just flowing out.

Do we even know for sure it will be this lenght? The first version of MOON we got was like 2 mins shorter than the actual song, too. Though Why... does seem complete.

agreed. I love her voice in Why...! It's so soothing. It's not too high, not too low, no strained moments. it's perfect imo.

That is because it was the live version from the concert and she didn't sing the whole song at the time, it was the same length it would be if she'd perform it on TV. Why... has leaked in full so it's pretty much as long as it will get

miki_beland · #**138** 20th August 2011, 09:52 PM

i just saw this on facebook
what should it be...?

**ayumisrael** · #**139** 20th August 2011, 09:53 PM

I wanna know too! She's really beautiful there!!

I wanna merry leslie kee and Ryan.

I honestly don't mind it sounding so generic, cause that's one of the reasons why i love Jpop.. it's sound in general.
It's sort of a way for me to escape Western music.

Besides, all songs can't be original.. and if the formular works, then i don't see a reason not to follow it once in a while.
