[News] Ayu paying tribute to Utada Hikaru

[BlackSilence]

the song itself wasn't very good, this is nothing spectacular, it's somewhat Colour-esque, she sounds nice though.

[ayumisrael]

I think ayu's version might make the sound more interesting lol.
She might make the song great. Better than hikki's version but I'm waiting for the full thing.

Thank you very much!

For me, movin on without you and FD are already way better than the originals!

Yayyyy something that I can dance to!

[TheRainbow]

I like it!

[Delicious n Bold]

Ayu really does sound like a chipmunk on the song lol. I really like it, she's really challenging the 90s JTrash and sounding like a hot mess on a hot mess song.

[Maemi]

^ I actually think that her voice sounds very clear which is surprising in a good way.

[jbrat2219]

She sounds fantastic! I've never had an interest in Hikki's music with the exception of one or two songs, but this cover actually makes her music sound listenable! Job well done, ayu! I had my doubts.

[orangeakira]

Damn that is an amazing cover. It's so dancey. I can't wait for the full version.

[Ayumi Romania]

Wow, I love it!

[Yoake]

The preview sounds better than what I thought. However I'm not excited because it reminds me colour's edm songs a lot. The previews were nice but the full songs were disappointing. So, I'll wait for the full song before to be glad and to avoid the disillusionment. It seems that her voice is very altered once again. I wish they drop this method. It's useless to create song she won't be able to sing in live decently.

I think that BECAUSE it is EDM style like Colours is the reason that I'm loving it so much.

Yeah gives the song a refreshing feel.

[chocopockymaster]

I'm seriously digging the beat when she sings, "Nothing's gonna stop me, only you can stop me", etc.

[perfectodub]

is that auto-tone in your lips young lady?! XD
btw i love the results!.. cause i love dance music.

[Zeke.]

I disliked the deliverance of practically everything on CoLOURS, but this I am extremely happy about. If colors sounded anything like this I would've loved it. It really doesn't sound too western to me, it very much sounds like a 21st century danceable, uplifting and somewhat euphoric JPOP party song. I could see boa singing this, as her latest tracks have been danceable and uplifting jpop song too. I'm sooo happy with Ayus voice. Even if it is edited, it suits the product so well.

[Didz-19]

I can feel some attitute in Ayu when she sing "Movin' on without you"!!!

[koumori]

Ayu's cover makes me really nostalgic... both the way she sings it and because it's Movin' On Without You. Really happy with what I've heard so far

[JackieRos]

The song doesn't fit ayu at all, I think she tries too hard to fit her voice to it.
When she says "I'm moving on without you" it sounds like a male voice.

No ayu

Not to me, her low hoice sounds beautiful and powerful and absolutely feminine.
