Thoughts: glitter/fated

[ayumisrael]

JUST OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
THE BEST SINGLE OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

THE SONGS ARE AMAZING OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!

[jkm444]

Fated sound so fresh and good! I have to agree with AyuGAME that glitter does sound a little bit like greatful days, but I still like the song! I hope this single sale like STEP you/ is this LOVE?

[ayumisrael]

I think they borh are hi-quality songs, and I even think most of the people will like those songs (and maybe will bring new fans) 'cause they are shockingly new sounding and sound awesome.

[atomicguy]

WOW WOW WOW
sounds even better than the acapella on the concert i went
the break is AMAZING, AMAZING, i'm so happy
FINALLY!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[atomicguy]

now i heard fated, i love even more, OMG!
i soooo decided that i'm going to A-Nation 2007 now, i ain't gonna miss now
i think i'll have to choose a-nation or 2007 tour of Namie

[bluegie]

glitter is way better than i thought. The cm really ruins the song LOL.

Listening to fated rite now.. so no thought about it rite now .

glitter is fun and different, but sounds kind of experimental to me. Not too sure if I'll get addicted to this one, like I did with BLUE BIRD - but it sounds quite a fun concert song. I am enjoying the almost-techno-dance feel, sounds like a video game tune XD

fated is terrific as I expected it to be. It sort of reminds me of her debut era in the intro piece. Sounds a well done song for a movie - I'm sure a lot of work was involved in this song.

Anyhow I hope this single will sell very well. 300k sounds a safe bet, though I'm pretty sure avex is aiming for more.

I love both songs! <3 I like fated more though, the acoustic sound of it is just too cool. I love the new style. :3

[IYFreak]

Wow I'm so happy alot of people are satisfied

sales depends of the package, i honestly think it's dull to have cd and cd+dvd with the same tracklist, if they both had different b-sides and remixes the non-fans would consider buying both, also, i think it's time for her singles to have a back and a proper obi

[HanabiChick]

Hmm, not sure about glitter - some parts are better than her previous songs, but then other parts sound like the same old synth stuff, nothing new. Not really making much of an impression, I want to listen to fated more.

fated I like better, as I was expecting. Beautiful, bit sad, but also peaceful. Think I might get this single for this song and for the PVs.

Package is not the only thing to consider. Tie-ins and promotion might get hyped to the point that fans buy both versions. Hm.. don't her singles get a proper obi? The last single, BLUE BIRD did. Mine did anyhow, though I agree it's time to have a back cover. And maybe a first press goodie. Also if we are getting the short film on the single, people will be hyped to get the CD+DVD edition.

[truehappiness]

I'd like a plastic OBI like Daybreak's for this single.

[ExodusUK]

fated I really like this and the build upto the chorus. It's great.

glitter Reminds me of ASFX/LP mixed with MA/MY. A nice combination

[Raleigh]

Daybreak had a plastic obi? Never knew you are a fountain of info

Kono natsu bokutachi wa yori
Tsuyoku kagayaki wo masu

she could release the cd+dvd in a dvd case like B'z did in "Splash" single, it would make sense and i think woud really get people excited to buy it
agreed with the whole promotion thiing, but no matter what she released radios always plays her songs til' no one can stand it anymore
Ayu must be one of the few artists that has singles without the back cover, and then you don't have the single with the obi and you put it with the others cds you never know which single is which, it annoys me so bad, although her cd+dvd have the names on the side

GLITTER~
sounds liek ever other Ayumi summer song... with a hint of NEWNESS!! its okay but sounds waaayyy to SUPERHERO + HAPPPY and i dont like that hehe , it sounds a bit LOVEppears+DUTY+RAINBOW era's and a hint of Tekken 3 hehe . 7/10

now fated~
sounds like a video game, like an old RPG But it sounds waay to predictable but i love its freshness, its like GLITTER, LOVEppears+DUTY+RAINBOW+MY STORY. Its great compared to the other iffy stuff she has been releasing latly. I'm not sure though, am i an Ayumi fan again? 8.5/10

i love her MY STORY-ness in these songs, it was my Fave album, i hope her future stuff will be of higher quality or like this.

Its a great single overall.

[micster]

Glitter is amazing - Its reconfirmed my belief that even though she's getting on she can still pump out some good musics.

Fated isnt my time of song really but her voice sounds good in it.
