ayumi hamasaki NEW SINGLE "Nonfiction" Release 2022.04.22

[AyuCanada]

The song is not bad, better than the live version, the arrangement is nice. It sounds like it would fit perfectly on NEXT LEVEL album. I prefer her rock songs but, it is a good dance song for her.

I hate the PV previews but I am not expecting anything from her PV anymore. She is going for the Kpop style, maybe people who likes Kpop will like it, but i am not one of them.

The cover really reflects the song lol It's megh as I expected. It sounds very mediocre to me and forgettable, but it probably translates better live, cuz it's quite catchy. It's not my cup of tea. The MV previews...erm. I'm gonna barf from all that pink lol But i like the fact that they went for a monochromatic look, it's kinda cool. Still, there's a whole rainbow of colors and of course they went with one that's overused to death.

[love in music]

The song to me is like a much better Lelio, without the constant sneezing.
I'm liking it a lot. It has been a while since an ayu song got stuck in my head.

[koumori]

I'm really loving the song!! The production is so good, I've really been missing this level of detail in her work for a while now!

yes, I feel the same. I don't like the song like WARNING mix with NEXT LEVEL vibe.

The PV: what is it? A group of mean girls wearing pink and entering high school?

[JinHamasaki]

I'm loving the song, the lyrics are catchy and on point! The production value is very high, finally!

Thank you!

[ayu_fantasy]

I am loving the song. Gets into you after a few times. Can’t wait for full pv. Hopefully she include more scenes, other than the pink ones with her dancers

[j.graziano]

I love the song too. The studio version is infinitely better in my opinion. At least the good production days are back.

[ohsixthirty]

This song is SO good! Super catchy, great production value, there's really not much more I could ask for. Ayu really killed it for this release!

2022 Asian Regina George coming our way

I’ll refrain to listen to the song until we have the full PV, but honestly I’m loving what I’m seeing. To be honest it’s kind of weird we haven’t had a pink themed PV yet considering it’s Ayu’s trademark color. And Y’all better wait until we see the scenes in the hotel...she’s gonna slay us all.

[Cahz-]

The song is a blast!
I'm also loving her vocals, the "I say yes... " part

I like "are you kidding me???"

[Aderianu]

Isn't it the lowest voice ayu ever used? Almost like at the Next Love

Sadly this is not the type of songs that I like, I'll forget it tomorrow after watching PV.

I hope ayu will completely destroy this luxury hotel room in PV

[Evan Odinson]

She chose violence and I'm LOVING it.

The producer credited is Hisashi Koyama, first time Ayu works with him, glad she's trying new things, can't wait for the PV!

[Katsuyuki012]

^LMAO! I'm loving how 2022 sees both Hikki and Ayu use 'inappropriate' words haha.

Also nice to see her work with new people! I'm looking forward to the PV!

[Livey~]

I'm digging this song! Do we have a bigger cover?

EDIT: According to Ayu's latest IG caption, the hotel set was created from scratch in an empty studio!

"The passion and dedication of the art team, who created the video not on location, but in an empty studio by recreating a hotel presidential suite from scratch..."

Then I think she’s indeed going to destroy the hotel set! Haha

Sorry... I meant "Not Bad'' in my original message ahah... but forgot to type the ''not''. I do love warning a lot, I can see the ressemblance on the vocals. What i dislike is the generic EDM beat. It was a thing 10-15 years ago, now I grew tired of it. It sounds a bit Like ''Womanizer'' that I loved at the time but wouldn't listen to it anymore if it wasn't for the nostalgia feeling.
