totally different from the chakuuta ver.

OH I see! I'm liking how it sounds. I can't wait to hear the official version with ayu singing it.

I know right? She looks drop dead gorgeous, and it's not often she has done anything involving a man (OK, a foreign one; not you Shu-ya!!) caressing her. But that "music" is so piercing to the ear..

[Meat Pao]

That "HAAAAANAAAA" never fails to crack me up everytime hahahha

I definitely hear a difference. Her vocals are not as fine.

I think I'm deaf lol. but really comparing commercial from final, I don't think it's that drastic.

[dream_ayumix]

nice! could i listen it ?

[love in music]

If her voice sounded like how it did in that CM in the final version of Moments I totally wouldn't love that song how I love it now. That's my 2nd least favorite CM version of a song (STEP you is the worst for me)

[adantatu2]

^ STEP you CM ver.- is horrible

but sometimes i miss her old voice (example: Moments CM Ver. is the best CM song 4 me)

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

Listening to the Moments CM, that was probably the version I heard first. Totally explains why for a short while why I skipped over it. Cause I remember letting it play through and started thinking "why haven't listened to this song before? It's so beautiful!" Now I know

[Tony G]

So now we have a live rip of the song, what did people think of it?

I really, really like it. Little surprise guitar solo in there as well, wasn't expecting it. Its been really well arranged.

That chorus is epic. The synths that soar with Ayu's vocals.. wow. Perfect.

The only downfall (if this is really one anyway) is that it is a familar sound from Ayu. Not as er.. unique from her other mid-tempo songs as I expected it to be. It does sound more modern though, this formula has been given a glossy makeover. You can tell she's got some new composers/arrangers in there.

But I'm only going to listen to it once or twice, not going to ruin hearing the song in good quality!

[noisy_harmony]

Yes, that song isn't something new from Ayu, but it sounds really nice! I wouldn't say that it sounds like her old works, I think it's similar with her recent songs (it would perfectly suit on R'n'C album). I'm amazed about her voice, she sang it really good!

[freedreamer]

I've a feeling MOON and blossom were made during RNRC period...the vocal style is reminiscent..and I LOVE THAT

[Kazeyomi]

MOON sounds like a classic Ayu song, its good but nothing special imo.
Maybe I'll change my mind with HQ preview

[Max_ZZZ]

listening to it.... WHAT A SICK OPENING!!

wwowowowowo i want to hear it in hq but it sounds so good man ugh i wish this was on the album LOL

[labello]

MOON sounds really nice^^
It really reminds me of classic ayu songs, but it's a bit predictable. Like I knew what kind of part after the guitar solo would come nevertheless I like the song a lot, it's really nice^^

[roanmy]

I am loving MOON! =D

[majrakun]

I love it! The verses sounds so nice!

[ILoveGeniuses]

I've never heard any differences of any song used in a CM compared to the version produced for CD single or album. I dunno. I find the guy talking over the song about the product is too strong for me to really hear the difference.

[aura~]

OOOhhhh I love MOON!!!!

The start is beautifull!! I love the verses and the bit of rock in it!! The bridge is strange!! I love how it's so soft in the "nee aishiteruu" <3

AND OMG her voice was GREAT!!! she sang so well!!!

I want it in HQ NOOW!!

and this song isn't supposed to be sth new, Ayu herself said it was really melancholic, so it's more like it's gonna be similar to her recent songs!!

I love her "ye yee" befor ethe chorus! XD

[love in music]

I love MOON! It really does sound like it could be on ASFXX, it sounds so, so, dated to me. But it works. It's a nice catchy song from what I can hear in the live.
