the length can be a problem for some people but I like some tracks that are 10-13min so that's not a problem for me lol. I also love the key change in the end and the chorus is very very beautiful.

I love both songs, but I like Walk more.

I also prefer walk but both songs are beautiful. Now that I think about it, even ayu’s worst song (what is forever love btw) is better than other’s whole discographies imo lol Damn Avex and her secret plans, this period of Ayu’s “hitus” made my almost lost interest in Ayu spike strongly again. |

Terminal and Connected are pretty even IMO. I'm excited either way for w/e comes next even if it does end up being more midtempo stuff.

I feel like all my favourite recent songs are people inspired by Ayu and taking parts of her sound. I really like both A ONE and Made in Japan, but six and TROUBLE have that indestinct mid-tempo sound for me. I've only listened to Ohia no Ki a few times because it's more of the same. |

That's why I like Terminal to begin with, the sense of urgency and the stress she puts on her voice. It fits so well with the message she's trying to convey. And the verses of the song are pretty soothing and not screamy, so there's some dynamic going on.

Neo-classic Ayu. I like that term
For me the "classic Ayu era" ended with the release of "GUILTY" but quite a lot of Her newer songs do still appeal to me, nonetheless. I for one didn't like "Ohia no Ki" due to its very generic and uninspired nature. However, there are many songs from Ayu that are just as generic but for some reason I can't get enough from them. I'm still having a hard time to enjoy Ayu's more mature vocals, though, so this may cast a better light on older songs for me in the first place. |

Ohia no Ki hit a million views on YT! Here's to a million more perhaps~

Nice! I think that should go up too after Natsu no Trouble.

I think it's her fastest song to get to 100k on Spotify.

Yeah that's the YouTube Music one. It's pretty nice that they have that as an option, seems to be dependent on what "isn't" available with a video already for her older stuff. Their system for adding songs to that is really bizarre but it works.

I know it's out of the Top 20 on the Oricon charts, but anyone know how much it sold this week?

This is great news! I'm glad fans in Japan are receptive to the song!

Yeah, I agree! This discussion here has made me realise that Ayu's ballads over the past few years have been...serviceable but she's capable of so much more!

I thought she had pretty good ones since 2015. Out of control, Shape of Love, Breakdown, Sorrows, You are the only one, Last minute... for all of the ones that may have been lacking, there was also one that was stellar too.
