^ He's been released for quite some time now.
Max Matsuura bailed him out.

tetsuya komuro is not as good as he used to be before
i didn't like his recent works for globe
i think he is running of ideas and inspirations

That globe song sucks, and I actually can't stand Can you celebrate?
I love A song is born though ... at least the solo version.

Hopefully this turns out well...I don't want it to sound exactly like something from the ASfXX era... but maybe something like A Song for meets Red line/replace

^I love Can you celebrate!! The first time i listened to it i didnt like it cause i thought it didnt flow well. But then it got stuck in my head after i downloaded it and i couldnt top humming it!

As for crossroads, not my fav

the crossroad preview sounds like MY ALL/Red Line/Life. which sound alike. the whole guitar/drums heavy, swaying with the song, this is the end of the album/concert "let's give it our best" type of song. not feeling it.

based on a lq 40sec preview...smdh

There's something about this song (well the preview) that gets stuck in my head. I listened to it twice when it first came out then deleted it, because it's so LQ but I still get it stuck in my head, it's very memorable to me.

I love can you celebrate?!! I also only like the ayu solo version of a song is born.

It is basically as Picaflor said. The ending type. She always has to have one doesnt she.
But this still gets stuck in my head. I have appreciation for songs that in the right moments. So this preview is good to me. None of those songs for endings finales, etc are too amazing imo (Who..., MY ALL, Red Line, Winding road, etc)

But they are all great songs. I hope it can be same for crossroad. I hope our little composer struck gold with this one

I don't get the "ending" feeling from the song at all to be honest. So far, I can't imagine it being one of those songs she uses at the end of her concerts.

It's still stuck in my head. I find myself humming it already.

But someone mentioned how one of his songs didn't really flow and I feel it here too only it's not so horrible.

Looking forward to the new song :)
I love Namie's older works (as well as new :P )
SO looking forward to the song in full ^_^

The man is a fraud, I'm disgusted at Ayu for working with someone so dishonest and heartless.

Interesting!
thanks for sharing

:roflmao

I suppose all people make mistakes, no?

Poor Komuro. Maybe he needed a little more prison time to regain his creativity, eh?

im never impressed with TK's work.. let's hope it is not a let down.... =\

Based on the examples given, I'm not either. But I like crossroad so maybe it'll be the only one :laugh

I'm kind of the same. I hope it doesn't end up being a disaster in full like most of his other songs.

Can you celebrate? and DEPARTURES are not the only things that tk wrote :thud
