Pride - what do u think about this song?

I think it's the funniest how people people blow everything out of proportion whenever someone doesn't like something Ayu. OMFG BLASPHEMY!!

I'm not really sure what I think of both the songs but I'm not exactly impressed with them. Maybe my opinions will change once I hear the full version...

I remember I was the same way with CAROLS and now I really enjoy it.

[stardusties]

It sounds typical for a ballads with flats/sharps, but meh, maybe the full version'll be better [it better be! i preordered it! XDD;;]

"LOVE" isn't a powerful enough word to describe how much i love this song so far.
And stardusties..don't worry..it'll rock

being a fan means very different things to different people i think.

myself, i like this single (from what i've heard) much more than the past two. i was disappointed with both fairyland and heaven in a way. i like this because she's gone in a new direction.

[ll moments ll]

it sounds great so far! i like 'B&D' better though.

[jkm444]

Pride is okay for me. I have hard time to judge this one with the B&D 30 sec preview. So I guess I have to wait till the full ver come out. So far I like B& D better. I never expect, her to sing gospel style music.

[mlkrepublic]

it's definitely something ayu doesn't usually do so good for her on this.

but the chorus in pride is not too original or different, so i like bold and delicious much more.

[Love Appears]

It sounded very Christmas-like to me. The first part reminded me of "Ave Maria", actually. I really love it. I think it's superior to BOLD & DELICIOUS. It's my kinda song.

[marty518]

Hmm... I'm confused. I want to offer an opinion, but I think these songs are so different from her usual style that I need to hear the whole song first.

[Delirium-Zer0]

I'm with you there. But i haven't heard Pride yet, i'm only commenting here to say that if it's like "Tokyo", and it's a ballad in a minor key so it's dark sounding, then I'll like it. Sounds awesome to me. I hated CAROLS, it took me forever to like songs like "walking proud", "SEASONS", and "Dearest", but "Far away", "Free & Easy", and "POWDER SNOW" were all songs i loved instantly. And I love "Tokyo", it's one of my favorites of ayu's live performances. Even found myself the original version. (and don't kick me but i thought "haru yo, koi", which everyone loved, was pretty dull. not terrible, but nothing special really.) but i lost the mp3 of it and it's hard to find since no one else really likes it so i haven't listened to it in awhile. So when i do get to hear Pride I think i'll really like it.

[Nu-NRG]

I like it alot..in fact I'm a big ayu-rock fan..her ballad only comes second but
Pride is different...really sorrow sounding and dark...like she is singing for someone she love *died* ...I can just imagine the pv..of ayu in a hospital or somewhere sad
and I don't mind that rather the song is a ballad or rock/upbeat at all...as long is better than B&D then I'm fine ..no complain from meh

[AyuMayu]

Personally I like B&D much better than Pride. Pride is kind of boring, I mean, I don't even remember how it goes. It's just a generic ballad, and some said it's the same thing as a song from Anastasia.

[paper_doll]

I like it a lot better than Bold & Delicious, but it doesn't sound like anything great. It seems boring, or like something I've heard a hundred times by other artists :/ The full thing may be better... I'll have to wait and see.

[TeamAyu]

"Bold & Delicious" still ROCKS. "Pride" does sound amazingly a lot like "Tokyo"... which wasn't exactly my favorite cover track. However I am sure I'll grow to enjoy it... plus this is only a short preview.

I still REALLY LOVE "Bold & Delicious", it's way above "Bland & Tasteless" because's it's got funk and energy. Gawd I can't wait for this single!! "alterna" however is still my favorite of her coupling tracks, that song just plain rocks.

Gawd I am so excited for this release!

To me it sounds like Dolls and Close to you and those songs are the most boring for me....*sigh* Oh well, maybe the full version will be better or if I see the lyrics or PV of it :p

[Mad_Cactuar]

I like B&D more than Pride, but Pride sounds very nice from what I've heard! Its a really nice song, something like a pop ballad.. Its really nice!

Wench? So suddenly the 6-year J-pop queen is careless with her musical choices? Uh-huh.

Let's see how the single sells, then judge her.

She is not necessarily a wench just because someone said it. She is a goddess!!! I love both of the songs again! Another winner from Ayu! the album will be a super colourful explosion!!!

Don't take it so seriously.

[fantaisie.sign]

^ I'm not. I just think it's odd that people are thinking that Ayu's music is turning sour just because she is trying another new genre, as if she hasn't before.
