thanks a lot for sharing

I hope the full track build up doesn't let me down! Seems like it's going somewhere awesome

[DevilsClap]

I have been listening to the preview constantly <3 I really can't wait for the full version.

This is great news, but I'm really bummed that she didn't do DEPARTURES. Come on. That song was almost made for ayu. When I first heard it, I could imagine ayu singing it; everything fits so perfectly with her music. She did an excellent performance on a-nation so I was really hoping that if a globe tribute were to happen, she would cover DEPARTURES. <end of rant>

Back to reality, her rendition of Many Classic Moments is great! This song also fits her so well. I'm also looking forward to hearing HYDE's version of DEPARTURES. Dude can hit his high notes so hard.

But she couldn't hit the high notes
That wasn't a good performance

In ayu's standards, I think that was an agreeable performance. Definitely not pitch-perfect (she left that building a loooong time ago), but it wasn't all messed up (which I think makes for a good performance per her recent standards).

Now, having heard some of the previews: HYDE's was good, but trf's and hitomi's were AMAZING. They make the original song sound good -- my main problem with globe's songs is that so many could've sounded better but didn't, and this is especially the case with wanna Be A Dreammaker and Anytime smokin' cigarette. Excellent covers.

I can't get over how perfect this song choice is for Ayu. I thought for sure they would mess it up. This would be the only suitable alternative.

I cannot express how much I love this song. Usually in a globe song there's always one or two things I would change, but not for seize the light. This song is perfection and a great fit for ayu.

Just made a loop video

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I just can't get over how much I love her voice in this! I love her deeper notes mixed with her vibrato, it's so unique and cool.

Her voice really has transformed over the years! It seems like to me, she started off with a screechy, pitchy voice (that I still love) then went on to be more polished and and had a better technique, to being pitchy and screetchy again but in a whole new way. That doesn't necessarily sound like praise but...it is! XD

[//ABEST]

I'm addicted to this song already and it's not even released yet! So good ughh

[mi|kshake]

I look forward to hearing the full version. It sounds like it's just about to go OFF at the end of the preview.

Wah, I love globe so this is such a nice surprise.

Although I love the cover, I think it sounds too similar to the original. Ayu sings in a very KEIKO way and the backing track is just slightly less trance-y and more EDM. But like someone said the ending of the clip sounds promising and a little bit more different...

[love in music]

Omg I used to be obsessed with this song and thought it would make an amazing ayu song. She sounds sooo good in this cover I love it
