I can't get past the arrangement!
I recognize that most of the music itself is great; it's just the way it meshes together that has put me off. There is no smooth transition.

I hope that Ayu glosses over it when it is released to the general public.

same! i actually want to like it so much, but it just....

Don't "force" yourself to like a song; or else you'll end up not liking it even more. Just let it grow on you without over-thinking about it. If it doesn't grow on you, then oh well; what can you do?

[GREENsora]

Everyone has their own preferences and taste in music, and like Nintendo said, don't force yourself to like it

Just because a lot of people on AHS like it, doesn't mean you have to too

the thing is i also have this conflict that i love the rockish parts but don't really like the ballady and the harshness of transition of the two parts.... BUT i do hope it'll grow on me.

The song is okay, but I've only listened to it a few times on the day it leaked. Nothing is really inspiring me to go back and listen to it again.

[Jawdarna]

It's not really force you guys; it just disappoints me when I'm not positive over a song released by one of my favourite artists. Y'know, you get all excited, and then...

I've only listened to Tell All a few times too. There's just nothing pulling me back.

I'm mainly disappointed 'cause its the first fierce song in ages, and I'm just not feeling it. XD

[Delicious n Bold]

Tbh ayu's new music is making me love her old stuff even more than ever before.... Even party queen.

Or maybe it's that I don't want to spend time trying to like tell all...

^ There's something in her old music. It's like MSG in music form or something.

I think because most of them have that climatic shift. All the last few minutes of her older songs really lift it; instrumentals particularly just seemed far more epic back then. It's something I feel Tell All really missed with its bridge, and numerous other songs (i.e. Song 4 u) have missed in these past few years.

Not that that makes a song, but I think it really contributes to why everybody thinks her older music is so epic. XD

I love that. MSG in music form. haha! I kind of agree. There was just something about her music back then. I was listening to the Loveppears album today and was trying to imagine if any of those songs had been released today would we still love them as much? Or was it the hype that surrounded them?

I died a little inside today... I started teaching and I was at a JHS... I told the kids that I loved hamasaki ayumi...
NO ONE KNOW WHO I WAS TALKING ABOUT...

That feeling when you realized you're old XD
The same as me, the Japanese loving kids that I know never know who ayu is

EDIT:
I NEVER know ayu had performed Close to you! I thought she never touched the song

Quick. Educate them about her and create more fans!

[mizuki-7]

They are too young maybe ? when I was 5/6 years I didn't knew who was Madonna XD When they will grew up they will know who is Ayu ^^They probably know singers like Kana Nishino or kyary pamyu pamyu, AKb48 and a lot more who are much more young and popular now !

[TeamAyu2004]

they are in JHS... they are in their teens... they should know who the woman is! lol...
I plan to educate them! LOL... i have them all year!

[mizuki-7]

O_o is it even possible ? XD Ayu has a lot of teenage fans as we can see at her concerts ! it's so strange ?? It's like an american teen who would not know which is Britney Spears XD

[ExodusUK]

Is this the talent contest show I've heard about where foreigners sing and compete in Japanese?
