[News] Pray preview

[Jwiz]

Just heard the full version and I have to say that Pray has definitely matched the epicness of her early Classics i.e Heaven - definitely one of the best she has put out recently.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I can't wait to see/hear more about what's being planned for this single!

She looks beautiful, but I feel like the way the bust area of her dress fits is strange. Maybe it's just me, though.

Awww Ayumi and her fiancé look lovely together! Pray sounds nice too.

[anna_ayu]

Thanks for video! I like Ayu, she is pretty and attentive.

[love in music]

You'd think with the length of the song it'd become boring but it's absolutely beautiful and keeps my attention every listen. This type of ballad is rare. I'm impressed

[KLJames]

lol, i heard "HANABI" melody in "Pray" (after 5:30)

[truehappiness]

I can barely tell that the song is 6 minutes long~

I wonder if Ayu wanted to hint at a connection to HANABI with that little bit near the end.

[BlackSilence]

OMG i didn't even realize...that seriously has that same chords like HANABI...*thud* I AM SOOOOOO SLOWWW~

[henrique]

Such a incredible song! She continues to bring us so many perfect ballads (sakura, ivy...)

Who keep says does not like the latest releases simply "Got tired of Ayumi Hamasaki"

[ayujarl]

LOVE THIS SONG (like what I've said in the other thread)

any word saying this will come with a PV or anything?

like Song 4 U, tied with a video game and still gets a PV itself

[AyuGAME]

^hopefully, i will be very mad if there is no PV for Pray

[AyumiAi]

it HAAAAS to have a PV if she promotes this properly she can have a mini hit on her hands XD

[[H]]

the first stanza reminds me of disney's hercules theme song. epic

I hope for a PV,too.

And since it is a single (I know only a digital one) I think there will be a PV on the next album or maybe like Namie did it included in the next single.

Hmmm. True.

Moreover... did you notice that the raspy pitch in Ayumi's voice during 05:25 to 05:29 is highly reminiscent of her Duty album era?
