Totally. It's totally pathetic how she's jacked Ayu's style. It's not a homage or tribute..it's so blatant. She has no identity or style of her own.

With Dear J she jacked Namie's style too.

[emi♡]

god, even the music is an ayu mish mash

And yeah, her voice is awful.


lulz this is like the poor man's ayu.

[Mr. Goto]

i thought of ayu when i first heard this too

tomochin rox but her voice doesn't suit this kind of music at all, she needs to stick to dance/pop. the b-side BRIGHTER is way better

[waterballoon]

but she's so cute.. and hot. lol. I've been a fan since Dear J so the song is acceptable for her standards

she's too plain for my tastes lol

which is understandable since she was a part of akb. They're all so japanese girl next door.

sadly so... but this is what it is I guess. edgy artistes usually go solo

[sesshy]

I miss Ayu's freaky PVs.

[Larien]

The art direction of the PV is great, I think. But I'm going to be a jerk and say that as an artist I find her a snooze fest vocally and in general, I guess.

[kiseki89]

black grey scene with her face, nails and hair = part of ayu's heaven
the pv isnt something that i'll expect from akb-related
reminds me of ayu's dark but thoughtful pv (ayu's current pv is screaming a little too cheerful). whoever came up with the pv good job but utterly distracted by her singing
song has potential but her singing a bit too not nice
lastly, her single jacket cover..... i guess that's the end of creativity

[Chibi-Chan]

She's so boring and dull... and she really can't sing. AND it's a shameless rip-off of Ayu.

[Heavenly]

Her song seems not "rockish" enough for this kind of PV.
And it's so obvious that she uses a lot of inspirations.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Seriously, some of you are rude as hell. Calm down, really. She is just starting and she just left the group, which means that now she is gettin more control of her career. Its like judgind ayu based on poker face PV/song

You're right on this. She may deliver something better in the future. I already said that the pv is really good, just that I don't feel that it matches the song so well. But she departed well fom akb.

[mi|kshake]

Just watched the video and I really like both it and the song.

I'm not really a fan of idol groups so never thought I'd be listening to any of their solo efforts. The video does remind me of Ourselves, but nothing wrong with that!!

Thanks for the video link!

Everyone starts copying someone else, Ayu included, and she is not the first (nor the 2nd or 3rd) to follow Ayu's path.

Also, it's kinda ironic seeing Ayu's fandom bashing someone for bad singing considering everything from Poker Face to M or so...

at least ayu's vocals are somewhat unique though lol That was her saving grace for me personally, besides the music.

This girl's vocals are just not my style. I don't like any Japanese vocalists who sound like her, let alone the ones who do it well. So that's the basis of my own comment lol

I don't think everyone should love her, but some comments (not yours) were overly harsh, haha!

[tsumekaze_]

While I agree that her voice is not one of the best I really like this girl. I liked her back in akb48 and I like her now, she might not be the best out there but this is not SO BAD, come on. I loved DEAR J, wanna be now, 1%. Try these ones out!

agreed on the fact that the song is not rockish/dark enough for the pv though XD
