[News] Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ - release 23rd December 2015

[NintendoHTF1242]

It's really nothing special.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Damn, why y'all dragging Winter diary? I really have no idea what you expected LMAO

It does sound a bit generic, but it's an AYU WINTER BALLAD. I like it

[mi|kshake]

Maybe its just a nice little christmas spirit gift from Ayu to fans

Exactly! I think the song is cute and look forward to hearing more.

[adantatu2]

It's ok. It fits the feeling of this season.

[Refix]

I like when Ayu make a generic winter ballads, this merrily atmosphere didn't get me.

I stopped at "we can feel the love tonight"

i dunno sometimes i just think people are way too technical on this forum. I think when you are in love with an artists music, you can always find something good in every song even if you dislike it. I could bash Colours till i drop dead and even though i find most of the songs really megh, SOMEHOW, throughout the times i still listened to them i found at least one thing in every song that i actually like. Sometimes i think you need to distance yourself from all the arrangement and lyrics stuff and just listen to the voice and melody. I'm pretty sure there's something special in every song she makes, even if it's not obvious from the first time. Yes her stuff is nothing musicaly special anymore, nor is it groundbreaking with impact or strong impressions, it's safe, with ocasional adventure here and there, but isn't that what HOME is supposed to be? I don't know...it's just ho0w it all makes me feel. And people will have their own opinions yes and that's fine, it just kind of makes me sad lol

well..you won't know anything about the song if you stop on that part...which is kinda sad...as a fan..you still need to be open minded about the stuff that she release...even myself that don't like TK stuff...still gave it a try..and it's not that bad...it's OK song

[js_surrealism]

This song makes all the TK compositions on Love songs sound like masterpieces. Lol.

TK needs to take his ass back to the slammer.

A sappy, uninspired, generic ballad for this release. Not surprised! TK usually provides better material. Hopefully this song stays just for this release and isn't featured on her next album.

What would make Ayu fans happy? A time machine back to 2002.

Not songs that sound like 2002 Ayu (because they would then complain that she's recycling) but an actual time machine to take them back to her hey-day, lol.

[Yagami Raito]

Guys. Come on. It's a Xmas song and you complain about the quality etc...?
I repeat it's a Xmas song ←
Do not try to listen it as a "ballad song" etc. It fits Xmas season.
For sure I do not think I'll listen to it during other period of the year lol but come on...

Or maybe, you know? Some music that's actually good?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^"good" is subjective.

[Beauty4123]

Oh, wow! I'm actually really liking the sound of "Winter diary", so far. I'm not the biggest fan of holiday/winter-ish songs in general (I much prefer summer inspired songs, though ) but what makes me like the sound of this song, however...is the cheery/upbeat feel it has to it, during the chorus. I'm totally looking forward to hearing the song, in full!

I also love when ayu sings "we can feel the love tonight". Makes me wanna listen to "Feel the love", again! I still love that song way too much.

I like it too. I think it's got a bit of the old Ayu sound to it. I'm usually very cautious when it comes to ballads; I'm not crazy about them, but Ayu's got some really great ones and I can't wait to hear the whole song.

Also the cover art is gorgeous!

Preview snippet of the classical take of Step by Step should be uploaded later today , judging from the poll results that's still ongoing

I'm surprised many people like Step by Step as I'm not really a big fan of it . Maybe the classical take will change my opinion on the song , like what happened to You & Me

I like the classical take of You & Me but didn't cared much for the original take
