I really like the Be My Last cover. It kept the subtle sadness.
And I'm so annoyed half of the songs are "album-only". I don't want the entire album. I just want a few songs and I ain't paying for all of them. /rant/ |

My favorites:
Letters, Movin' on without you, Flavor Of Life, Be My Last, and For You |

For you sounded like a Miliyah song anyways...I'm not too surprised that it hasn't changed much

Letters is my favorite song of Hikki and I like it just the way it is. I love shiina but I don't like every song she does.

But then, FINAL DISTANCE can be classified as a remix of DISTANCE, which people considered during that time until hikki decided to put FD to DR. For me FD is a recut since it's basically a slow version of DISTANCE.

I can't get over how awesome the arrangements on Flavor Of Life and Be My Last are. They breathe a whole new life into both songs.

God damn it. I had such high hopes for Hikari when the song first started...and then we got to the first verse and it was basically a whole world of NOPE.
If only she'd taken the singing technique she used at the beginning of the choruses and used it throughout the whole song. |

Ayu's version of movin' on is superb simply because it does a magnificent job in expressing the emotion behind the lyrics in a way that is just so absolutely right and completely relatable. It takes off into an uplifting and carefree energy that is able to capture that feeling of "those instances in which you caused me pain, no longer matter, because, I'm moving on. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I'm finally going for it. I am finally free of the hold you had on me; no longer a prisoner of hope. Instead, I am hopeful for my future, which shines bright, because you will no longer reign over me and my emotions."
That's the feeling I get from this song, and the juxtaposition between the verses and bright chorus portray that story and those emotions in a way that the original truly lacked. When a song is able to convey the subject matter not only through it's lyrics but through a composition and arrangement that works in harmony with them, then, I feel truly excited that such an emotion is able to be communicated to the masses through the piece in a way that words along cannot convey. Especially when the lyrics being sung cannot be processed or have any meaning to the listener (like myself) because of a language barrier, yet the emotion and message shines through due to the MUSIC itself. That's the real reason why I love MUSIC and the reason why I have always loved J-pop and will forever love ayu's works. Simply put, her works speaks to me.

I liked that Hikki invited ayu for the album. Now that I have listened to her cover, I wish she hadn't accepted. Terrible.

Peabo Bryson sure knows how to turn an other wordly rock song into a 90s love ballad sounding ending song for a movie.
All I can think about when I listen to his version of Sanctuary is credits rolling after Fern Gully or Space Jam or something.

My favorite of the album has to be Movin' on without you. Never really liked the original, but I love Ayu's cover. AI's version of FINAL DISTANCE is my favorite too. I also liked SAKURA Drops, For You, Stay Gold, Keep Tryin', and Sanctuary.
Flavor of Life I'm still on the fence about. It's okay, but I don't really care for the "wasurekaketaita hito no kaori o" part of the song. Didn't like the rest of them. |

Hikari, Automatic, and Sanctuary are the only ones I'd say were butchered.

Sakura drops actually makes me want to dance now.
I wish Shiina would sing in her lower register more. It's nice. lels omg. This concept could have worked. LOL This guy. YEAH YEAAHH YEAHH A HAAA AAA NOOO NO ITS AUTOMATIC Ayu verses ftw <3 Flavor of Life ;____________; :O Yes. Life Complete. Ai for days. The one note backing synth. And the ending is just beautiful. Oh. These opening verses for BML -_- But this rest of it is really nice. hikari lol. Like she's so in love with her own vocals. I like the folksy arrangement tho. Is fun yo. Song is alright. Oh. This switch tho! Go Miliyah. It's like most of her music tbh lol Such a sucker for the piano ballads lol He made the song very personal. I wonder how long it took him to write the piano part. <3 The synths are real lol I like the dissonance. You need it for a song like Time will Tell. Cause ew. That song. Have to love the Japanese and their respect for the piano though. I liked Keep Tryin. Pretty arrangement. I like that they kept the tempo up. I have an appreciation for hikki's arrangement at the same time. Sanctuary. Like. I won't hate. I like the concept. It doesn't really work right now, but I can appreciate. Some of those were hard to listen to But interesting.

I like every song on the album. Only complaint would be Automatic. I don't know if the guy singing doesn't know how to keep tempo or they mixed it wrong, but it sounds out of sync. The singing and the music, that is. It's half in sync, but then he keeps going in and out of sync with the beat. Its annoying. Half the time he sounds like he's ahead of the beat.
