[News] Ayu paying tribute to Utada Hikaru

[Tomoyo]

i have to admit i didn't really like this song when utada sung it but ayu! oh my gosh! -in love- it's probably the instrumental that does it more for me than her vocals, but she still sounds amazing!

[Yuniz_hime]

I love both versions.

[chocopockymaster]

I am going to be jamming out to this for the rest of time

SOMEBODY FIND ME A DANCE FLOOR

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I still would've been interested to hear Kokia cover an Utada song, but I'm sure there was never a chance of that happening.

Movin' on has been on serious repeat all day. It fits in nicely with Colours too so I tend to listen to them all together.

[AYUmyQUEEN]

really loving what Ayu did with the song! It's so fun and sassy! I'm a fan of the original as well and they are both unique in their own way.

I've just listened to the preview from ayu's youtube channel & I am absolutely loving what I've heard of "Movin' on without you". ayu has done an incredible job! RedOne also did total wonders with the production of the song, I just can't stop listening to it! It's so, so fantastic. I totally cannot wait to listen to the full song!

This cover can be a re-cut single, but no don't do it for real.

She did an amazing job. I like the original, but it's by no means one of my favorites. This definitely could have been on colours.

Thank you! I've just got around to listening to the full song. I didn't even think it was possible, to love a preview as much as I did, but now that I've heard the full song.....I love it a billion times more! It's just amazing! Simple as that. Everything about the song is perfection! Now I know which song I won't stop listening to, for the rest of the week! ayu did such an incredible job with "Movin' on without you"! I love it so much & I'm so happy!

It lacks that wow aspect completely in my eyes. I think she should have chosen something more suitable for her voice.

Movin' on without you is one of the few songs that I adore in Utada's discography and I love the cover as well ^_^

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I like the cover, a lot.

But I wish it wasn't EDM. Just because, well, I don't listen to EDM much. Only when I'm in certain moods.

So in the long run I think this song will end up being a "sometimes" song for me. For the moment though I'm enjoying it--and maybe I will end up listening to it often in the future haha. But I do give her props for pulling it off. It ended up sounding very (recent) her.

[pimenta]

I'm loving the cover! I never liked the original song, so I had no expectations for the cover, but they did an amazing job with it, Ayu's cover is sooo good

[hayasaki]

Hope she performs this on CDL!!! And Hikki's surprize appearance!!! I'm gonna die LOL

Probably First Love... Giving Ayu Hikki's biggest song would be a huge selling point...

I was thinking about it actually as well, but i suppose Hikki prefers to spend her New year's eve with family/friends unless she would appear on earlier date just for fun Still that i doubt very much.

[relmy]

The verses are amazing, oh my god Ayu, where was all this attitude on Colours?!

She's sounds really into the song, which I didn't really get from Colours.

[kiseki89]

omg totally different style! While Hikki's nice, ayu's more sassy and lively!

EDIT: oh dear Flavor of life sounded very horrible.

At least someone's being realistic and understands that Ayu will really struggle if she attempts to sing it live :-P
