lol the preview sounded better. I need more oomph in this, it's quite repetitive and a bit bland at the spots where you would expect more going on. Also the guys are ruining it for me too. Don't even get me started on that cheesy line at the beginning lol However, it is definitely a million times better than anything on Colours. Might be a grower. I was really convinced i'm gonna love it at the first listen, though.

Oh that performance is painful to watch for me lol.

Omg this song is pure magic. I actually love it when she sings backup during the second and final chorus. She sounds so amazing!! I think this is the best collab yet. I didn't think I could get more excited for the mini but this just put me over my limit! I think this may be my favorite DAISHI DANCE song next to EMOTION by Miliyah Kato. Both sound atypical for him.

BTW, I wonder if Sorrows or Shape of love is going to be the song that features the new producer she mentioned meeting a while back? Or maybe it is for the secret sixth song?

Sayonara is pretty much the new anthem of this generation

Finished listen to the song for the first time...wow...the song is so fresh and modern..I really love the direction she is going now...please no TK song for a while...

I do wish that it will be more build up towards the end...
I love the mixing and mastering...
Ayu's vocal combine very well with SpeXial vocal...
Love the "uhhhhhh" backing vocal on second verse...very mystical...
Ayu's English is really good now...the sentence in the end..wow...I can hear her English very clear now...good job Ayu.

This mini album better sold very well...what a high hope I have in this mini album.

My rank for 3 songs that we already hear so far (All really close though...)

Summer Diary > Sayonara > Step by step

Sayonara is so cheap, like Brave Bros circa 2011 when the only work he could get was with those nobodies Rania l m a o

I'm actually FLOORED by how bad this song is. It's more listenable than the other 2 from this mini but hands down one of her worst ever in terms of quality @_@

I like Sayonara. It has some energy to it, while still being able to maintain the beauty of the Melody. I don't feel like it's on the verge of being a good song for once, which I how I feel more often than not with so many of her productions recently. The male voice is so much better than the other collabs she has had with male vocalists, because for once stud voice isn't deeper than the males! Lol. The dudes voice alone isn't bad either. It's certainly better than anything on CoLOURS, sans Lelio.

Ayus vocals are nice. She commits to the chorus. I didn't like Summer diary cause her voice takes off then she reals it back in as if speaking. I don't like when she does that. I miss when her vocals were soaring.

It's rather good! The momentum up until the chorus is a little disappointing since the beat of the chorus is kind of weak/poor, but everything else is great.
The spoken words in the end is probably my favorite part, her English has improved so much!

This release is shaping up to be one of her best in a long time!

Imma have to agree with you slightly. This is definitely better than the other two songs so far (which I still vehemently believe are just A ONE leftovers), but I feel like it's a grower.

All that said I liked ayu's lines at the end.

Really? Because she did so well on that. It is more clear than the english in What is forever love imo. Thanks for confirming.

I think the whatevers will be less random when we read the lyrics and understand the context. Alltho it is amazing how much you dislike the song. Haha impossible! Is it the genre?

This is what I like about it.

I like songs in this genre that still have this prettiness about them.

But anyway I really like this song. Even more after a few listens. It really is great. Like, this is what should have been on Colours. It's fiercer, colder, and more beautiful than WIFL. It evokes the Colours booklet for me.
