Ayu's voice is ok, you hear that she's trying to add another dimension but the arrangement doesn't follow her and just make the song monotone and standardised.

But you can't judge that based on the preview, the intensity and evolution could come right after where the previews stops.

It already sounds smashing though with no relation to that.
So good!

I would be agree if the lenght of the preview was 30 sec. But seriously, here it's around 3 min. It's enough to have a proper view about a song yet. Moreover, the original song have the intensity since the beginning while ayu's cover loses it after the introduction.

But the original song is almost +4 more minutes (it's around 6:52ish), maybe on ayu's case it just starts after the first chorus, it doesn't have to be the same intensity as in the original, but it's fine if you prefer it to be from the beginning. ^^

^Thanks Zeke! I'm definitely into it. Have ayu's version on repeat! This has to be the shortest amount of time between the announcement of a release to the release date. Less than two weeks! haha

[Raiu-Ayu]

I'm just imagining this now at the CDL in a little segment with WHATEVER, Terminal and Connected... heaven

[Zeke.]

There's so much to this song! Maybe it's nostalgia influenced but even so, I loved it from the first minute I heard the trance mix waaaay back when because I could feel so much coming from it. The melody is a bit eerie, haunting even, yet still super emotional. The bridge is spectacular, and I can't wait to hear how Ayu handles that! I feel this song is really intense, and I love how the bridge brings that intensity up a notch further.

Ayu sings it with such conviction. I love that from her.

^
^It was announcement a couple of weeks ago, but only now they announced the final tracklist.

Many Classic Moments is a great song, it's usually in my workout list of songs. Her version is so simitar to the original, that it feels really natural. Can't wait to listen to the whole song.

[Gustavopc]

^ It's even funnier when some artists were announced for this more than a month ago and their song has been not posted hahahaha ayu's was almost instantly released

[NintendoHTF1242]

Instrumentation is cool but the song did nothing for me. No joy, no excitement, no sadness. It's just there lol I don't listen to globe so I can't indulge in the nostalgia.

Me too
Loved DEPARTURES / HYDE

[adantatu2]

I love the preview, for my is a new original song too, hahaha, I'm going to try to listen the original later.

Do you think it will be possible to release a cover compilation?
How many songs has she covered ?

[DonkeyKongRemix]

OH MAN. I just listened to the original first (my 1st time listening to it) so I could get a true understanding. Listening to globe's version I was like "This is really cool!"

Then I listened to Ayu's and I am estatic. She sounds AMAZING. I feel like she's really using her voice for what it's worth!!! So cool! The background music is really great, too. I just want to have a dance party.

This made my day. Woo hoo!

The alternative/remix version for those curious...


One of the rare times, Avex has made a unique/original PV for a remix. It just occurred to me...this version has strokes of "Last Angel" in it.

Vincent de moor trance mix I posted on second page is better :p

[melissalove]

It's gonna take me some time to love this song.

[Delicious n Bold]

I'm actually repulsed by Ayu's version. I never want to hear it again. Kco>>>
I had a feeling Zeke would love the song. I'm glad someone can find one mans trash to be their treasure.

@nintendo, the original song makes me very nostalgic but ayu's version is... Almost an insult to the original.

Lol, I'm like getting angered about people disliking it, haha. Ironic.

Oh well, I can totally see myself busting out to this song with some glow sticks. I am so looking forward to making this my new staple. It's very much in line with my style. I'm already envisioning it in my head, haha.

[douggn]

I wonder if Timmy will sing marc's bits

[Larisa-chan]

^^^Timmy could do an excellent job covering Marc's portion of the song. I thought it was Marc at first in the song NaNaNa (though it's clearly not him after listening to it again, but the style is very similar)

Whoa, that's really cool that she's covering this song. Many Classic Moments is a great globe song. From what I can tell, the instrumental piece sounds pretty similar to the original. I'm listening to the original version right now XD For those unfamiliar with globe... their songs are the epitome of repetitive lol it does get annoying at times. The total length of the original Many Classic Moments is about 6:52 long!!! Almost 7 minutes!!! And that's not even their longest... they have songs 10 minutes+++

[alternarist]

oooh expecting this to be sung during CDL!
