The only thing I have reservations for is that she's using her Ivy voice here. I don't know how to describe it. It sounds raw at times, e.g. "Tatta hitotsuu moshi negai gaaaa" - in the bold part she sounds...struggling to be on pitch. And I noticed this repeated several times in the preview as well. Raw, is probably a good way to describe it. It would be good if she touches up on her voice for the final mix but somehow I have a feeling that that's not gonna happen :s (but it happened before in her old songs, i.e. STEP you, About You, GREEN, Moments - they're all different from their CM versions)

Yup, I agree about that raw-ness, I think she needs to work on her technique for that part, don't think its going to be good for her voice in a long run.
It sounds like a good song but the music is abit cheap I think, for a movie like this, I feel they should have went with more orchestra sounds to get the real impact.

There's definitely an orchestral backing here.

Lots of strings/piano/horns going on.

got goosebumps again hearing the chorus ><

Im hoping for an acoustic orchestra mix for this too

[YUKARI]

it'll be strong single if they release it!

Not really my type of ballad if the whole song is like that, but we'll see.

I'm happy that it reminds me a little of older ayu, and I'm also happy that it seems like she's pushing her vocals a little bit. I mean, I liked that ayu tone. She's played it really safe for the last few years, and I think that was smart, but. I still always miss her old higher pitched vocals, even if she wasn't perfect with them.

I liked what I heard! yes!

I can smell a new album coming soon... XDDD

[freedreamer]

going by tradition, I have a feeling this is the final chorus section. Cant wait to see how it builds!

[AyuWorld]

its so so beautiful

i loved it, keep looping the trailer haha

[yamadashun]

i seriously prefer this kind of ayu than Feel the love, even though i have tried to persuade myself that Ftl shows another side of ayu blah blah blah...

anyway, i can't wait for more!

Thank U

[Zeke.]

Finally, she's on the right track again. The most promising thing she's released in ages, especially regarding ballads.

Also, her voice sounds very controlled.
