I think right now it's at no.6 iTunes singles in Japan! I wonder if it'll get any higher, been on a steady rise since it came out but it has pretty big competition from Night Rider and a TikTok hit.

I'm interested in seeing DaD's debut sales, especially after knowing how much Ohia no Ki sold on its first day. Depends, if the song gets a daily top 3 debut we'll know. She could get a daily number one again but Night Diver is doing well, so that should be considered. It might do better weekly since it has more time than Ohia but that also depends on her competition.
Anyway, charts are interesting to follow but the only thing that's truly important is that the song is amazing.

YES! Someone else finally said it. This is exactly what I thought and I've been really into that ayu era lately.

Dreamed a Dream has reached the fifth position on Mora!
https://mora.jp/ranking?term=lrank24&genre=all Ohia no ki peaked at number 7, although there were 2 versions available for that song, the aac and the high resolution flac. I hope it can go up! |

The contrast between calm and upbeat, as well as the melody at the end do remind me of progress (and that melody also reminds me of Song 4 u as well, I think).

First time I am hearing it! Instant love, I really enjoyed it.
Both Ohia no Ki and Dreamed a Dream are really good, hopefully she will continue this path and release an album soon. Dreamed a Dream reminds me of a blend of classics like progress, WE WISH, Naturally evolution, SURREAL, Tell All and We are the Queens (well more or less not really a classic) Speaking of SURREAL, when I read the lyrics I was reminded of SURREAL lyrics. As if she is letting us/her friend(I still think it is for Max) know, that she kept holding on that same dream she sang about in SURREAL. But I agree that it stands on its own. Overall I really like what I am hearing. It will be a great song to wake up to or to listen to when you have to drive for a long time. Energy boost! The music is rather pretty busy. However, I enjoy upbeat Ayu, so I am embracing this song with open arms. Now excuse me I am going to take a walk, put this song on repeat and fantasize about PV and performance possibilities. Thank you, Ayu! So happy with the new music!

I like the intro! I like it, but I don't think I'll repeat it often. I don't know what is. Lately Ayu hasn't really been clicking with me. But I'm happy she's releasing new stuff again~

I understood what bothers me the most. It's the intro and the same part near the end. I want to try to cut them

One thing I miss in the song is heavy guitars continuing through the last chorus.
I can hear them in the background but they are reaaaally faint. It would have added to the progression and given an extra boom to the ending. |

Well, since he do it just for fun. But actually comes out with an amazing arrangement like that. We can imagine If he is being paid to do it. I believe he will make it even more amazing, mixing it mastering it in another level.

I'm a bit disappointed by Dreamed a Dream. The intro and the verse are really good. But the arrangement of the chorus...where is the explosion? Really the arrangement is heavy. It drains all the energy of her voice. Overall it's one of her most rich arrangement for this kind of song. I wish she'll provide an epic remix one day. As she did with Winter diary ~A7 Classical~.

The instrumental bridge (not the guitar one, but I like it a lot too) is the best part, so bombastic and explosive. I think the only things I dislike about this track are uuuh parts (and they also last too long), very dry and semi-cutesy voice in the verses. Oh, there's also one note in the second verse that sounds sharp as if it's a result of pitch correction mistake, but then I realized it was a choice, I just don't like how it ruins the melody (nanimo KAmo ga).

I agree, some power is missing. But I don't know what exactly could've fixed that, something rockish? Last edited by Chris85; 31st July 2020 at 02:46 PM. |

omg I'm just glad it's not a ballad. it remids me of Mirrorcle Word or Wake me up but I think I like Dreamed a Dream more than those songs
oh and I'm surprised it's composed by TK. I thought he'd retired already
