*Listening to this song yet again*

I just think this is a fantastic song. The emotion is there... I agree with gakkun about this song sounding older in style. It reminds me of ELT right after they debuted and a few other groups... Reminds me of stuff The Gardens used to put out (don't think anyone knows them.. but they were fantastic!) I think it is some of the best material ayu has released in such a long time. I have been waiting for this sort of release from her for many months. It really turned it up a notch.

As far as BOUNCEBACK, I think this is so different from Greatful Days and Ourselves... As well as anything he's produced for BoA. So I think he did a great job on this song. To me, it sounds like something written by maybe Mitsuru Igarashi.

Ayu's vocals sound very powerful and clear to me. Her voice has gotten deeper because of strain placed on her voice throughout 2000 (the concert tours especially) and 2001. But I think her range is still relatively unaffected. Perhaps time has healed the damage. Vibrato is something developed by experienced singers and is also something I think she uses to save her voice. It's something I rely on when singing under strained conditions, myself. ^^

Overall, probably better than her last two singles because it introduces a totally new style. It's also my favorite song for 2003 so far. LOL I'm that serious about it. ^^

Anyone else think so?

:roflmao n the song haven't even come out yet:laugh :thumbsup

yeay! I want to download it!!

Well I just have to say, this is going to be a big hit in my opinion. She has definately gone back to her old style, not so much into the whole fashion thing in this vid or making the song really pop-ish. It sounds like this song could have been on Loveppears or Duty, it just sounds like its from that time frame, HER BEST TIMES (excluding I am...)! So yeah, I think this will definately help her declining sales (dont kill me for saying that, but its true) and keep our ayu as the j-pop queen. w00t~

Oh yeah, I'm new to this forum. My name is Reed. Nice to meet you all.

Well... ayu's 25 now...
if she goes back with her CUTE voice... although i like her CUTE voice as you...

it's a bit weird... you know??

Definitely true!!! :)

:laugh True True but it ain't that bad now:thumbsup
welcome Reed:wave

this song has a really strong jpop feel, kinda like those ELT DAT DAI songs
but i think it's pretty good :)

isnt bounceback a group that has a guy and a girl in it?

o man...this song is pretty good....i wouldn't expect it from bounceback (not saying bounceback's bad, just saying its different from the usual style) but o well....its a good song....

Ty AznkidoOo2. Anywho, I'm just glad ayu has gone back to her old style of just doing the lyrics for now, she needed a break somewhere.

Cool song!
 

I love Ayu's new song! I didn't like it at first but its grown on me, kinda like Forgiveness. Thanx for tha mp3 and pv dl!:wave

hey, while we're talking about this song sounding ELTish, it looks like Kaori is in the BG, that means ELT is in this episode of MS too!
