In the other hand, it sounds like a generic TRF song and as someone said it lack of Ayu's spark. I was expected something better from TK.

Overall it's a nice and quite catchy song as well. But not among her best summer songs imo.
I agree

I just listened to it and now listening again, I really like this song! It reminds me of her older songs, but not just in the sense of how it sounds but also the way she sings it, it sounds like a lot more soul has been put into this song than her recent songs, I really like it. <3 Especially the arrangement, it kinda gives me the feeling of hope, appreciation and happiness after a dark storm.

It's not a ballad. +1

I like the techno part at the beginning, and the beat overall.

It's a bit cheesy sounding, though... don't really care for the whoa whoa whoas part. Mm...

I think it'll go in my "forgettable" pile after I get over my "I'm just SO GLAD it's not a ballad" feeling. XD

Oh yeah, it could be worse. It could be another meaning of Love/beloved type ballad that bores us to tears. Okay, now I have a better appreciation for it

It all depends on peoples' moods, I think. It's the height of the summer, and slow songs would just drag on. Why Ayu released MOON during the summer, I can't ever comprehend..

in the end, this is pretty sad song. it's amazing how cheerful she sounds though.

I know she has a lot of songs like this (sad lyrics, cheerful music), but this is the first time when I actually felt it.

I got so excited. I thought the beginning was building up to something of epic proportions, haha. I got confused when it switched into the techo beat. I'm glad she has this upbeat song, I just hope when they release it fully it'll be refined better. Its so cheesy sounding, but I think it could grow on me.

Anyone else reckon this is a left over from Party Queen ("friday nite" lulz) for the lyrics, but TK-ed up for the Summer Best?

I honestly don't know what to think. I'm with the song until the days of the week, it's just so tacky.

Chorus is cute and catchy though.

^ The chorus is my crack of the month! It's so nostalgic and delicious. I can actually forgive her for the covers

I definitely agree with this. While the song as a whole isn't quite amazing, the chorus is awesome. Weak verses or not, this is a great summer song and I will definitely listen to it a lot the rest of the summer.

^No way... so I'm not the only Ayu-fan who likes Party Queen? I believe there's 4-5 ppl on this forum who really like it.

I'm getting the album for sure, but def not on release date.

I like it so far but the English parts just sounds kinda awkward and like they don't belong in this song tho.
