Agree with this lol reminds me of something she'd release maybe a few years back as well. But at least it's an interesting song with killer lyrics

I feel the same way about the lipstick-and-hat getup, but I gotta say I love her look on the single cover (that MASK oh my word) so I hope to see more of that! |

Obviously she will since her image was shown on the tv screen on the mv teaser. Plus with all the pictures she posted on Instagram with her in the black hat and red lipstick. She just won’t be shown in any other angle or length.

I especially don't like the way she pronounces the "u" now ... "oooo" is definitely better than the horrible "huuuu".

The song is great! I feel like it was made by the same duo who did it as H/\L for talkin' 2 myself. Sounds as if she asked them specifically to recreate that kind of sound for this track but they're no longer under the H/\L name.

It's first day has been a Thursdays, and in case of Spotify new releases are most of times shared on Fridays. So, hopefully, the song will get a boost this weekend.
However for a "random drop" without any promo or hype beforehand, I think it does well. That being said, I like 23rd Monster, but it is so... noisy. My ADHD kicks in whenever I listen to the chorus.

^ do the streaming numbers include YouTube streams? She released the full song for free on youtube, maybe that’s affecting things on the paid services?

Oricon only has a weekly streaming chart and there the youtube streams are counted, yes (Spotify on the other hand isn't counted). But to pop up there numbers have to be pretty high. And most artists do upload the songs on youtube, it's pretty common nowadays.

The verses are really the winner here. The prechorus is heavenly! Production isn't Golden era Ayu standards but the production and melody is her best song in years easily. The song would fit right in between identity, Rule and Love n Hate on Next Level. Revisted Dreamed a dreamed and it blows that out of the water!

Where has THIS Ayu been all these damn years??? It’s been a decade. My God, so she still has it in her. This song actually sounds like something with thought, effort, and artistic vision behind it rather than the dross she’s been lazily churning out. Might actually purchase the next album.
Don’t really get the complaints about the quality of production/sound/mixing. The song sounds fine with a decent set of headphones. Her change of voice is a natural evolution. Last edited by Uemarasan; 10th April 2021 at 11:20 PM. |
