I think it would help a lot if her vocals fit better with the music - for me, it sounded like she was singing to a different style of music and then TK suddenly changed the music to 90s dance pop and Ayu never re-recorded her vocals to fit that style. |

I think it's really interesting that people are comparing this to 'old Ayu' because I don't think this sounds like old Ayu at all. This sounds like OTHER jpop artists from the late 90's.
Anyway, ten listens later, it's still not growing on me. Saying that though, it's definitely not a bad song. It's a hit and miss for me, because I really like certain parts of it, and detest others (*cough* chorus *cough*). |

It'd be interesting if this was the 'TK' version that he made as a demo before her arrangers spruced it up.
IIRC, his collaboration with Ayu on Love songs was more of a fusion of their styles while this is very much 100% TK.

It's a short version according to kome. So it'll just be longer.
I believe it's missing the second chorus.

It's great! I really like it so far. I'm glad it's not a ballad.

30 seconds in... WTF. This is NUTS!! I totally didn't expect something like this. It's a complete throwback to I am... / RAINBOW days. Veyr much reminds me of July 1st, Free&Easy, everywhere nowhere, etc..
I'm very happy with this. NOW... Let's continue this same idea into the next album, Ayu! |

Not too excited about this. It's a very typical TK track from recent times. You can give it to AAA and it'd still work imo. Unlike Love songs where the tracks are pretty different and experimental. I think it will grow on me though. Still feeling pretty neutral about it.

I love it, and I hope there is more to it than this. I love summers songs I can dance to, and this one makes me wanna jump up and dance. I'd love a ballad version to I think though, the lyrics are beautiful but kind sad at the same time. *sigh* summer love...
This is how I translated it, if anyone is interested (I'm no pro so please correct if it needs it): Memories of that Summer are still vivid When I remember it, I wanna be with you (x2) On Friday night, our eyes met On Saturday, I approached him On Tuesday, We were certain On Friday night, It was over Memories of that Summer are still vivid When I remember it, I wanna be with you Crazy in love, quickly in love I wanted to believe it was destiny lalalalalalala…. That summer, tanned skin touched Shouting and crying, still, I want to talk to you |

love it!!!!!
I totally get that whole 90's-dance-jpop nostalgic vibe. Maybe the Japanese market will eat it up?? I wish there was some sort of guitar sound or something to keep it from sounding so tinny though! It's sort of a hollow sound.. like something missing..

I think it was also a dream for her to work with artists like Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, and DJ Lee & Megara. |

I'm sure this will do well in Japan. people like simple and catchy tunes with light lyrics. the one thing required is good promotion, that's it.

^Yeah I think this will be one of her more popular songs in recent years too.

Ok, I don't know what to think about it.
It's upbeat, yay, there's a trance part, even better and her vocals sound nice! But I don't know, the melody sounds pretty generic and so repetetive to me. Kind of...cheap. It's ok, but nothing I'll listen often to. And the english parts sound weird again. At least for me.

For me the extremely catchy chorus totally makes up for the extremely ugly/nasal verses.
