And the way the first 2-3 words are sung of each chorus sounds just like one of the songs from her & single. I don't recall the exact name as I didn't really take to that single either but just listen to those songs and I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about.

Boy, you sure are picky.

wow. lol the whole song got disected right there.

OMG! I really love "fairyland" so much even though i'm kinda disappointed that it's nut a dark song. Hehehe... But i still love it, yo!

It's really Naturally-ish and Daybreak-ish and July 1st-ish though. Like sumefin' that fit into "I am..." album very well. It's also quite different from the music she used to do. I love the background music more! Especially, the openin' and the endin' ...

For once Ayu's summer song make meh wanna run to the beach! I dun't know! Hahaha... It's a really awesome to blast at the beach!

You're thinking of TSUNKU. tasuku and TSUNKU are two different people. tasuku has worked with ayu many times before, TSUNKU only worked with her on the LOVE trilogy of songs.

And I haven't watched the performance yet, but from what I've heard in this thread, I'll like this song

[atenza]

I think this is one of her best songs in a while after Moments. A bit of a return to her earlier style.

[Syphex]

The song itself is boring. I nearly slept through the actual performance. There are no distinguishing beats, the chorus is bad, and I dont really like the feel. I hate Greatful Days, but now that seems appealing compared to this song. This song seems bland and "just another pop song." Although, I really liked the beginning and the first verse. The chorus/main verse SUCKED. It did not fit with the original tune of the first verse (which was cool, I thought.) The instruments and guitar solos were bland and didn't have a distinguishable beat.

In other words, I want to hear alterna now.

[truehappiness]

OMG. I LOVE THIS SONG! I don't mean to say this just cause I like ayu or anything... But.. the beginning was kind of iffy, but as the song went on, it made me smile . I'm just glad she's released a new song of awesomeness<33

I hope Ayu still makes stuff, despite all the people who say, "Oh. This sucks. The blahblahbalbha whinewhinewhinewhinewhine." I personally think we have no right to talk about the song like that, but eh.

Zeo

[AyuGAME]

I love it
its different from her work right now
but i love it..
its like TM revolution and dream song style
i believe that HAL arrange the song

[Kirshwasser]

gotta buy this single.....!!!!

[benslave4u]

I think it sounds like Honey+July 1st+STEP you!! It's a great song and I love it!!

I really love the song. Everyone keeps saying it's so "cheerful" but it's really not. It's a summery-warm, fresh, clean, bittersweet midtempo song. Most of it is in a minor key, too, which you can't really call cheerful. The verse is very distant which definitely fits the nostalgic feel and lyrics of the song. The chorus is sweet, but not perky. I don't think it sounds anything like Replace. Replace was cheerful to a fault, it sounded like cheeseball anime music.

I'm very pleasantly surprised with "fairyland". It's a track I know will be getting a lot of play time from me this summer.

I noticed that too! I was really hoping it would change there, musically. It does sound awkward, but the recording will hopefully sound a little better.

I'm translating the lyrics right now (Just need to finish downloading the video so I can check the subs and make sure my ears aren't decieving me). If the song has any fault, it might be the lyrics. They're not bad at all, just seem kind of average to me. She mentions "ano ko ya aitsu" again... That's 3 songs, isn't it? (immature & Heartplace, & now fairyland) I wonder who those two people are. She always refers to them when she sings about her youth and innocence.

I downloaded the performance. I was very disappointed with the song. I don't care for it much. Maybe if I had the actual single rip then maybe I might like it more. The beginning verse was interesting. The rest of the song was very boring and bland. I had so much expectation for this song too. Hmm =/... I hope alterna will be better.

[shinji1698]

i liked it! it sounds different than the same-sounding garbage new tracks from my story

I noticed that too (except "aitsu" isn't in immature, just "ano ko" ). But anyways, like most other people I loved the verses and thought the chorus was just ok. I still really like the song, though! Now I can't wait for alterna.

I hope Ayu still makes stuff, despite all the people who say, "Oh. This sucks. The blahblahbalbha whinewhinewhinewhinewhine."

My sincerest apologies for having an opinion and presenting my thoughts on it. Knowing that Ayumi hamasaki is perfect and must never be oppossed, it was my fault for not liking her song. of course you must like all her songs.

No, not really. I'd rather be the "this sucks blahblah whinewhine" example then the "AYUMIISGODWTFOMGSHEZTEHGREATEST!!!111111" mindless fan. If you simply skip over the posts with opinions (or generalize them as simply "this sucks"), well then thats your choice; but don't forget you're missing out on some good views here that are not dumbed down to your example.

I have never once said that she should stop composing because of one song, and neither has anyone else who didn't like it. and besides, i dont think ayu is weak enough to stop making songs entirely because of some opinions on her newer releases. So you don't have to "hope" of ayu still composing despite some opinions here and elsewhere. Otherwise, I wasn't aware of Ayu coming at an end to her career.

I personally think we have no right to talk about the song like that, but eh.

Sorry. But the freedom of speech and thought is guaranteed in my country; don't know about you.

[Qt Mashi]

ive only heard it once and gonna watch it aver again later but atm i think it's not as good as STEP you, the first part reminds me of STEP you , and i like it how tis song sounds very refreshing~~

i also LOVE wat ayu's wearing!!

EDIT: i heard it again and i relli relli like now!! i knew Ayu will never dissappoint me!! lol

Angel's Song + Seasons


It's okay, nothing special.

[truehappiness]

Well, I was just saying. Because ayu fans sometimes bash songs, comparing them to older things, and it's like 'wtf?.' I probably just have seen too much of the 'ew. I don't like this cause it sounds like __________' and that makes me >_O. Sorry about that!

I don't love of them, but.. most of the ones I don't like as much as others are the older songs she's done.. The lyrics though are all full of <3 and awesomeness

ugh. Oh well. I like this song.
