Ayu should just release DaD as a 10 track maxi single like 20 years ago with all the remixes.

I was worried the chorus could kill the track depending on the arrangement. The verses made a huge impression on me from the start but the chorus really depends on the arrangement, and the ats mix really comes through on that! It needs to be a full version, wish it was the official version. If the official sounds lackluster it will really bring to light how drab her team of arrangers have been lately.

you're totally right, IMO that's the big issue with a lot of song from "Love song" album. All that symphonic production for songs composed by an electronic/experimental musician.
ATS found the G spot of the song

I’m still not feeling DaD vocals... It sounds... Messy? Muffled? I don’t know how to explain it. I’m hoping the finished version will remove that, or at least make it work (for me).

Could just be the result of being an 'acappella' track rather than truly isolated vocals. It sounds a bit like they made a final track then extracted it from that. With all the EDM-y arrange we can probably expect, I think that should melt away in the complete version.

I don't think it'd be a 'lately' problem though since ats- worked on both WORDS and aeternal pretty recently. If anything, it's just Ayu's vision for the songs in most cases.

That’s a good point. Maybe this speaks more to how Ayu pushes the arrangers into her vision for the song? Seems without being under the pressure and influence of the label and/or Ayu, this producer was able to do some of his better work. Or maybe it’s because the composition and vibe of this song is totally different than that “Sakura petal”-vibed shit she’s been leaning into extensively for her ballads.

Love the chorus. It remind me with the 90-es era or an anime OP song. She need more songs like this.

Somehow I am pretty sure the ats mix will either be the Original Mix or that it will be included in the single...

It will be a waste if she don't use it as original mix. It's just so good

Ayu featured 3 more today and the Ayuromix by ELEMENTAS, shunta.K (Twitter) mix, and abottchen were featured!

It's surreal to see Ayu talk about abottchen since they've been doing the piano arranges for so long and to plug them on IG! I hope they see it soon! I also hope someone saves the story for them to cherish, someone captured a bit of it on Twitter but not the whole thing.

That is so great that she noticed them, they do such awesome piano versions.
She should hire them for an official piano album^^

I LOVE the abottchen version! Kudos to him for all the amazing work! I would faint if it's me that Ayu notice!
