Thoughts on Blue Bird?

[truehappiness]

Not really. I think milestones are a bit different in Japan~ :/ 10th and 20th singles weren't too special.. x.x 30th got its concert dedication.. ~_~

@*petit* I'm very happy someone actually went through all that, I was far too lazy to do it myself, thanks .

There are similarities, but I think they can be summarised by that the songs are all pop-ish up-beat

I don´t like it....for me it has nothing to get in to it....may the video? But I really liked Preview of BF, so I really hope it will be much better (by the way....I would have preferd it when the Single would have called BF)

@*Petit*
That's one extensive post, and I am very happy, becuase it captures my thoughts about this exactly. Thoughts that I have a hard time putting down in words.

Thank you.

ya
sounds like born to be grateful day july 1st...ect

[Isthan]

It sounds good. Very summer-ish, very July 1st-ish... very much like Ayu back then! So naturally I'm happy, especially when Beautiful Fighters sounded so amazing. I'd like to see Ayu going back to her roots, back to that music style like I am... and Rainbow -albums had.

[Raleigh]

Woah. It's fresh and really enjoyable. I love it.

[Eigakan]

The song is really fun and catchy... but yes, it sounds like a blend between fairyland and July 1st

[truehappiness]

People have their views on things. :/

We all have to accept them, despite how much we may disagree with them. I mean, I think Ayu sounds pretty normal here.. it doesn't sound like they edited it extensively with computers and etc. :p

That's trueeee. Her voice sounds like it did with 'teens', but with the electronic-style of 'BLUE BIRD', I would rather have a polished, edited voice LOL.

[immel]

^It's often very apparent when they do. Slight changes might have been made but it's not something that should effect her actual voice much.

And yeah, everyone has their opinion .

[immel]

I always prefer her original voice best, only because that's what touches me the most when I hear it. I like her songs where her voice is edited aswell, but you get my point ^_^!

[elepop]

I still don't get what vibrato actually means, but anyway. I think her singing is always wonderful.

[truehappiness]

It's when she holds her notes out and stuff.

Ayu has that sound when she does that x.x It's not like generic-singer-vibrato xD Ayu vibrato! Sort of like when she holds out 'ii' and stuff..?

I guess some people really dislike it though :/


note: being fumingly-angry-to-the-point-of-wanting-to-choke-someone sucks. :[

Not quite. It's a bit more than just holding a note.

This is from Wikipedia:

Thanks for the clarification on vibrato.

blue bird starts out just like koi no tsubomi

I might sound stupid for saying this but I don't speak Japanese so I couldn't care less which artists write their lyrics and which don't.

[elepop]

^^ Me, I do care. An artist that has never ever written or composed their own music for me is like... o____o Makes me kinda think "Do they even get themselves involve in the music they sing?".

[elepop]

^^ And that means...? XD
