hmm her singing on that panasonic CM made me feel...uneasy~ like idk she was straining, but i like the ringtone version better

I didn't realise any difference. But the quality was really bad for the ring tone i downloaded so i can't really tell. It sounded the same though. Ugh. I dunno. Im confused myself.

i cant really tell the difference..and probably AFTER hearing the verse..u get the dark vibe...

Well, we heard the last chorus in the panasonic cm,
Not the first one, so it is bound to be different.
The tempo is the same for sure.. if you continue the count between the recent version, and panasonic version, it's the same count.
I don't feel that it's dark at all... >_>);
I feel the same feeling that I got from Moments. o_o

And yeah, since the quality is bad, I think it sounds like she is out of breath cause we can't hear the soft part.
Yeah, I think they are pretty much the same, just inclusion of shamisen, and the beat is more at the front.

I agree with this entirely.... sometimes I feel like I'm one of maybe 2 or 3 people who didn't hear ANYTHING "happy" or "uplifting" in the CM version of the song... I heard a mid-tempo dramatic kinda rock-ish ballad along the lines of "Will" or "Heartplace". Everyone else is talking about it being happy sounding and I just never ever ever ever heard anything like that. i honestly wondered if people were talking about the same song sometimes.

I think the ringtone sounds exactly the same as the CM version too, and my impression of the song isn't really any different than it was when I heard it in the CM (except the addition of some of the instrumentation we didn't hear before, which was very nice).

It's all promotion to get that danged camera sold. :laugh

i think the panasonic arrangement fits the song a little more... it's less driven. the ringtone version sounds a tad awkward.

I swear to God. They both sound the same >_<

^ Agreed

Agreed too. I think the "difference" will be completely eliminated when the single (or an official preview) is released. Well the song will be brushed up of course, but I don't think the difference will be big enough to start talking about "panasonic (happy) version" and "sad version". Like I said in my previous post, the CM just makes you think the song is happy xD

I like the Version from the CM a bit more.

I still say that I like the CM version more... but the more that I listen to it, the more it sounds the same... we'll see, right?

just wait for the HQ rip then we'll noe..but u cant deny that, because of the VERSE, everyone will feel that the song is darker now... since we no longer have the smiles of AYu and teacups in our mind when hearing it

it's definently recorded again, you can hear it in her voice. it sounds so much squekier in the cm version, like theres less vibrato at the end of the first chorus too

can anyone hear it? like mirror vs. mirrorcle world
mirror sounded a lot more... high? however you say it, mirrorcle was a lot more noticeably looower.

The panasonic one was better for me only because of the complimentary graphics: Ayu spinning in a teacup, etc...

YEes i just heard it again and yea, she re-recorded it
