Why... feat. JUNO - Thoughts / Opinions

[ExodusUK]

It's boring, bland, uninspired and forgettable. I know not every song needs to be as epic as Mirrorcle World or Last Angel before anyone suggests that. I don't really have a big urge to listen to Why or Beloved ever again. Where as Ayu songs are always something I'll listen to repeat for a while when they leak.

I like it, but it's the kind of song that I'll listen to for 2 weeks or so and then forget it even existed XD

Agreed with this.

Maybe I am too soon saying this, but I don't like the three songs which leaked from her new album and that's why I lost interest in the upcoming mini-album. Sorry, Ayu. Hopefully the other two songs will blow me away, but I am afraid so.

It's not a bad song. Though I think it's a very typical song.

I thought that maybe the fact it's a collaboration would shake it up a bit but obviously my expectations were too high. I don't even mind the fact Ayu overpowers Juno vocally, I was just hoping for something very different this time.

It's good. I just hope that this track is the weakest link on FIVE because I loved progress and beloved.

Sorry, but this. I hate how Ayu seems to be settling for "just nice/okay" for her ballads for the past few years. I feel like Why... is just another example of how her discography has become so watered down with bland tracks over the past few years.

I actually liked the song the first few times I listened to it, and then I realized it was, as you said, boring, bland, uninspired, and forgettable. And seriously, why is she singing like that. She sounds so weird.

Boring, bland, uninspired and forgettable. Like half the ballads on I am... and basically every song on A Song for XX and LOVEppears.
And she's "singing like that" because she finally learned to sing again. She actually has vocal technique in this. Her early vocals were destroying her voice and her ~2006-2010 vocals often included lots of screaming.

Have you ever thought that Ayu might actually really love these types of songs, that they suit her mood? I seriously doubt she's like 'oh, this is a kinda alright song. lets release it!'
People act like all her ballads before 2006 or something were super unique and amazing. Like Dearest, I do love the song but it's generic as hell....just like this.

God this album is shaping up to be such a BOMB with the fans. Well here you go, all the people who hoped and prayed for a mini-album, here it is. Happy now? We get 5 songs with possibly 2 wowing tracks and not even THAT wowing. I have yet to hear it and I think I'll like this album but I do believe this is a huge mistake in Ayu's career to release a mini-album like this at this time.
