- - 『MOON』 New medium ballad title revealed! (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100238)

I have no clue how anyone can tell, that MOON sounds rather good or not. It's a 15 seconds commercial or let it be 30 seconds, but also, there's the fact, that her songs used for a commercial are edited somehow, so they sound different from the actual "Original Mix".

Let's wait till we know the whole song.

I still don't like MOON, But I'll have to wait for Full HQ before I can decide.

New Single?

Fake
it is not from ayuchina

The song sounds even better in the CM!

Glad that specific rumor was fake. I hate the title SKYLINE. haha I do love MOON so much though. I can tell it's gonna be one of my favorite songs ever. I'm hoping she does a triple a-side in June or July though.

cant wait for this to be released... sounds good from the honda commercial... but they dont play very much which is annoying! lol... but yeah cant wait for it XD

Well, there's still even no data about when this single is going out... Maybe if Avex officially announces the single, then I would say it's going to be released sometime around late July/early August or so...

new single????YAY!!!perhaps...

Isn't the Musik in the Cm different from the Mic-Recording, we heard befor??

^ yeah the CM mix is slightly different from the other preview~

After hearing the song in better quality. I'm not really feelin' it. It's quite boring, generic and it's only memorable because it reminds me of another song. Give me another Sunrise as a summer song over this any day. I also hope it's not the main A-side and that she has another song up her sleeve. Maybe the full track will change my mind. Also, how is this a ballad? Maybe my definition of ballad is limited but this just sounds mid-tempo not mid-tempo "ballad" but whatever. And even though I don't really like this track I'd take it over Last Links (her most generic, unoriginal and underwhelming song to date in my book) any time any day. /end crankiness.

^ I... I have to agree with all you said o.O (maybe only not with Last Links xD)

*waiting patiently for full song*

How can people judge a 30 seconds song?
I remember when most of us don't like Don't look back CM preview and now most of us love it lol.
MOON it's so and so for me atm, I'll wait the longer version for judge it.

Well, I absolutely adore Last Links and thought it was everything but generic, so yeah, I'd also rather have something like that.

I hope her next single isn't a ballad though. I'm not a ballad fan and I can only appreciate it if they're epic (like, ironically, BALLAD). Plus it really doesn't fit in with the summer, if she were to release a single around that time.

15 seconds? You've based your opinion on 15 seconds? (and this goes to the people who are already loving the song as well) I rest my case...

ppleeeeease don't change how this sounds for the real version!!

i hope for a june-july release

this chorus is so catchy, one time i actually was looking through rnrc looking for this song i was humming then realized it was moon LOL

^ late July/early August I guess - just in time for a-nation.

honestly that's true... but i wish it wasn't '-___-
it just seems like another 2 single album pattern and i would love to see if 3 singles would affect her album sales

Japanese people loooove genericness though. Her interesting stuff always flies over their heads and she's basically got to cater to her main audience. It's lame that the alternas and such always get such a cold shoulder from Japanese people, but that's life.

(I love this song and Last Links soooooooooo, lol. They both have nice melodies and strong messages imo.)

It seems to me like you tend to stray away from simple-sounding songs, haha. How are you when it comes to Life and Curtain call?

This song is a ballad in the sense that it basically is an ~emotional love song~ of some sort, I think.

Quote:

The most common use of the term ballad in modern pop music is for an emotional love song.[32] When the word ballad appears in the title of a song, as for example in The Beatles's "The Ballad of John and Yoko" or Billy Joel's "The Ballad of Billy the Kid", the folk-music sense is generally implied. Ballad is also sometimes applied to strophic story-songs more generally, such as Don McLean's "American Pie".[33]

--from Wikipedia

"Let me give you a gentle song for you to believe in forever and ever.. I just want to see your smile once again, yadda yadda..."

Typical Japanese ballad-y lyrics. The song is probably a lot better in full, but I dunno how people will feel about it since accounting for personal taste is just.. I don't even know.
