New single 'Dreamed a Dream' by Tetsuya Komuro out July 31st, 2020

[TheRainbow]

The ats- version is good, but it doesn't have the same "punch" that the official version has imo.

IT'S SO F*****N GOOD!!

Uh- ここまで

Uh- してたカードの
配置しなくちゃ

粉々に砕け散ったあと
無様でもいいと
這いつくばってた
泣きながら拾い集めてた
諦められなくて
ケンカして抱き合って
そんなんだって
そうやって
今だって
一緒の夢を夢に見てる

思ったよりずいぶんと
何もかもが変わったよね
追いつこうと走ったら
いつから通り過ぎてたりとか

Uh- おんなじ
ところに出たりとか

全部なくなったその後で
何に救われた
何を欲しがった
未来がどんなんだったって
腐ったもんだって
僕の真っ直ぐと
君の真っ直ぐが
どこかで合わさって
交わって光になれ

Really love it! Feels like it could come right from NEXT LEVEL

[truehappiness]

This song is a bit like progress' more insane sister song, lol. A few moments have that vibe but this is more along the lines of Sparkle or harder tracks from LOVEppears imo!

[mizuki-7]

Arrangement by Yuta Nakano... interesting that’s probably why the song sound quite familiar. I am pleasantly surprised.

[rainbow_smile]

Doesn't she usually use the "dream the same dream" phrase in relation to her fans and career? I think the song might be about that. But maybe it's just a theory lol

[Evolution7/4]

Omg that main synth line is soooo addictive! It is kind of a dark melody I love it!

For me it sounds as if they took bits from NO FUTURE, Many Classic Moments and We are the QUEENS but still managing to create a different song in her discography.

[RealLight]

Well, I like it.

I think it's gonna be one of those tracks I learn to love with time, probably. The instrumental is what I was expecting from her so I can't say I'm disappointed, but it really does nothing for me (or the fan remixes).

I kinda felt some bits of WatQ here too, I can see these two being concert openers together tbh.

We wish lol Her voice now isn’t half as good as it was during that time. It’s kinda frustrating for me with Ayu, because she went from a not so good voice at her beginnings, then developed the most beautiful voice and technique around 2003 which lasted till 2010 or so, then started to decline every year. I’m a bit worried for the years to come tbh. Comparing her songs through the years it does even sounds like a complete different person. Kinda off topic but needed to say lol


Dreamed a dream must be the best song in like, 4 years? I’m digging it. It’s simply perfect.

[jbrat2219]

TK and Yuta Nakano are my personal dream team for ayu's music so it's no wonder this song is such a banger for me.

[Evolution7/4]

It def is We are the Queens Part 2 but its less campy, a little darker and with wayyyy better production so it feels much fresher, cooler and classier lol

[truehappiness]

I think her voice is better than the 2008~ ish era, tbh. The recent fluctuation is due to an excess of touring. More touring than ever before and no rest.

I think that's to be expected from someone who tours as much as she does. Look at Madonna, for example - she doesn't sound at all like she did in Holiday lol. That and I'm sure it's tough for her to improve her technique since she can't hear as well as she used to. :-/

I'm just proud of her for not quitting and instead continuing to do what she loves. I admire her discipline.

[Toniayu123]

^ same It might not sound the same as the one I felt in love with, but as an artist she still is and will ever be.

[koumori]

Ayu definitely has vocal cord damage. I'm always impressed that she's still singing and the quality of her vocals is astounding given circumstances. I thought they sounded really strong in Dreamed a Dream

I totally agree. Given all of the factors going against her, I'm very impressed that she keeps going... and that she keeps going not only because she loves music but for her fans. I'm sure quite a bit of her vocal deterioration is because of how much she tours. It's easy to see her as just a product but as a human being, I'm thankful for her sacrifice.

Also, this song is making me thirsty for an album lol.

When I first read it i first thought she she referring to her fans. ''Let's dream the same dream'' Is the kind of she she write in her TA generated happy birthday emails. She also received a huge amount of hate by media and public in the recent years.

[love in music]

dude.... DUDE this gives me old school ayu vibes and I've been LIVING for her older music. this is absolutely perfect kdljfdklgjfd it's one of those rare songs that's fresh but still so ayu. I couldn't be happier with the finished song!
