You & Me is my favorite summer song ever!

Btw I just had a thought, I wonder if WIFL on Colours wasn't marketed as What is forever love feat. URATA NAOYA for what happened on the a-nation 2011 thing where a lot complained she sang with him, so ayu didn't want people to critisize at least before they heard the song. And well eventually it worked since there was never a What is forever love backlash (even not performing it with UN).

If not for the a-nation 11 incident, I'm sure that it would be What is forever love feat. URATA NAOYA and he might have performed with her on PREMIUM SHOWCASE this song.

^ If this is the case then it's really sad... Urata is her friend and seeing her fans treating him like shit must have hurt her

Shape of love is one of Ayu's strongest ballads in a really long time. The melody is so good!

I didn't care for You & Me at first but now I think it is absolutely fun!

I love all of her uplifting songs (they make me feel happy), but I'm getting annoyed to see my dear SURREAL as a part of a medley. I prefer it to be performed alone in full. I do love evolution, too, but seriously that SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL medley thing is getting annoying imo. :<

Why do people not like him? I think he has a great voice. Tho I don't really like WIFL or "Another song" is not because of him. The songs are not to my taste but I think he did a great job with both of them regardless. So why all the hate for him in Japan?

I think it was JUNO in addition to him that made some fans angry.

I agree that it's one of her strong ballads, I love the music direction and the arrangement. Music wise it reminds me of BALLAD and melody wise it reminds me of SCAR

Sorrows sounds great prolly because imo it has better mixing than Last minute, but as usual, I have mixed feeling towards the chorus which melody bends a bit from the main verses.

Sky high gave me Thank you vibe, it's not bad, in fact maybe better because it's not just lalalala~ lol

And we didn't get the RedOne song in the album isn't it?

It's not just in Japan, I remember there was a meltdown because of him on AHS, too. I don't understand the hate either, even though I prefer JUNO's voice

People around here love melting down... They don't really need a reason.

IIRC the meltdowns happened because that one year at a-nation, he joined Ayu for her performance...of EVERY song. Not just duets; he joined in on BLUE BIRD etc etc. If it had been billed as a special duet performance, then fine. But fans thought they were getting to see what has essentially, in previous years, been a mini Ayu concert and instead got Ayu & Friends. I would have been annoyed as hell if I had been there, that's for damn sure.

^it's not like he sang ayu songs, he was just on the stage like the dancers were, like in July1st etc. And he only was on the stage from the collab onwards, not for the first songs if I recall well! I don't get why many hated on him honestly!
