[isthisLOL?]

Love the preview, sounds different from her other rock songs, I'd compare the arrangement bits we heard so far to a mix of Nu-Metal and symphonic metal of the kind influenced by opera and musicals so far.

The name of the U-Boot or what ever it is, is Herman? Sounds very German. (^_^)

Hermann? Out of all german names it's one of the most terrible... xD

What I like about the preview is that she doesn't sound as 'heavy' as she did in talkin' 2 myself (although she sounded badass hardcore there); I guess I prefer her Because of You voice better.

[Coelacanth]

Yep!! I loved her 'badass hardcore' talkin' 2 myself voice.. but from what I can tell it's more of the Memorial Address type voice. Less emphasis on chest voice with vibrato.. more on a clean sound. I think this era (of this album) with her vocal training is giving her one of her most clear sounds!
It's very melodic~

[TeamAyu2004]

I loved Memorial Address and Game, so if its anything like those I will be happy!

[Kouyou]

Wow, how unexpected! I'm excited to hear more, it sounds very promising from the CM.

It is. But don't expect her to sound exactly the way she used to, her vocal technique is different.
Recent vocal training made her voice much, much clearer. The clearest of her career, possibly shared with MY STORY. She sings less throaty now, mixing in a TINY amount of headvoice into every note that isnt really deep to create soft, clear but powerful vocals. She doesn't do it as well live yet but she...never did. I honestly doubt she'll ever sound as "heavy" as GUILTY and especially t2m lives again. t2m lives and MW lives had absolutely horrid vocal technique.
But the way she applies vibrato and her tone has changed, too.

Our girl Ayumi finally learned how to sing

[love in music]

wow, return road is sounding awesome so far. i love her vocals!

[njanjayrp]

Return Road preview sounds/looks epic. I can't wait for the full track/PV.

[Corvina]

After HYBA PV yesterday and that great Return Road preview, I'm really excited now for the album!
Thank god we'll probably get the full leak next weekend.

Thanks!

I'm still not fond of the "I'm your party queen" line, but I really love the instrumental (or whatever you call it)

[Corvina]

The arrangement is great, but her cute voice and the montone chorus kills it for me.
Also in this studio version she's clearly singing "Patty Queen" or something like that for me. ._.

[Inspirelova]

It sounds so amazing
