Daily charts for the second day :

#18 on Oricon
#15 on Recochoku

Doesn't seem to be doing good on digital charts, maybe the PV can help a bit...

It's normal enough for all her fans to get it in the first couple of days, now. It's not a big hit in the wider world, but it seems to be doing well enough in her fan base.

I just checked Line, too, where it's at 23 in the top hundred.

I like the song! The arrangement could have been more interesting, but overall I like the melody and it’s stuck in my head after a few listens! It’s still better than some of her more recent ballads (which I find so boring) so I’ll take it. Overall I think the quality of songs she’s been releasing is pretty good. I’m excited for the PV!

A good song ruined by the dated production..... Someone needs to tell TK to move on from his tired Bro-DM sound... should've kept the intro piano goinh cuz it's in line with the current y2k revival.

It's like Sayonara feat SpeXial but not so good, this may sound weird but it also gave me Winter Diary vibes, might be the bells at the end. I'm amazed how much a song made in 2022 can sound like early 2000. I enjoyed it though but nothing I would want to listen on repeat like almost all of her songs until Trouble, kinda fits with Dreamed a dream. So far the album sounds like disco album.

^ Yeah, that is really odd. Maybe they want to put focus on PV for the song, to collect more views.

The video was so much better than I was imagining before, I thought I'd be one custome video with her just moving around dramatically!

I love that this is really unique video in her filmography and I think 90's vibes fits the song perfectly. I think ayu has really few perfect music videos so this delivers what I was waiting for. For me at least. Not perfect but above decent! I hope avex will keep her budget as high for her 25th Anniversary!!

Definitely better than expected.
Nice assortment of scenes, cool angles and good lighting effects too.

I look forward to watching it via Blu-ray disc when the album is released.
That low bitrate pixelation YouTube graces us with when I watched the premiere on my OLED TV lowered my enjoyment of it.

It is basically a promotion video for Teamlab. I love Teamlab. I travelled everywhere to look at their exhibition.

Haha, right. I immediately googled their work in hope I could see for myself, but unfortunately...

Teamlab is great. I love installation-art. As for the PV, it made the concept a whole lot interesting, but yet I am not as blown away as with Haru Yo Koi, it doesn't feel really authentic, whatever.

PV is great, I had such low expectations. Colorful and beautiful. They planned this for a long time, I remembered when she posted on Instagram when she visited teamLab.

PV was peak camp. Ayu fake crying goodness and battling against the corona virus in that one scene with her dancers.

I know the location helped a lot and it helped make the PV a lot more interesting and trippy.

Song is good, nostalgic and 90s in a whimsical way. I don't need Ayu to make "fresh music" whatever that means, I need good music.

Video visually is very nice. It helps to reconcile with the song itself
