You & Me (Youtube Edit)
 

Don't know how long this will be up, but I found this on ayu's official youtube channel:

http://youtu.be/nmL5shr_OdM


I romanized the lyrics as well (These should be pretty accurate).

ano natsu no omoide wa
ima mo mada azayaka na mama

Sorry~

I dislike this song.
And I'm the 100th view of that video.

This is hot as hell even though it's pretty much if glitter was a trance song BUT I'M JUST HAPPY TO HAVE A SUMMER SONG THAT SOUNDS GOOD I LUV IT

omg what a jam.

It's so TK tastic, or is it just me.

I just posted the lyrics up as well.

you guys beat me!! listening now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wohoooooooooooooooo ^^

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

*it's interesting.
It's mostly music. But, I enjoy it. :)


Wait. YouTube edit?
I wonder if they've removed portions of the vocals? Or shortened the length?...

IT IS AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO AMAZING

OMFG AYU *WORSHIPS*

So it's not a ballad, OMFG.
It's a good beat, but it's sound so 2000s.

Ps. the lalala line remind me when she's forget the lyric. LOL

OH MY GOD! WHY MY INTERNET CONNECTION'S SPEED IS SO LOW! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT HEAR IT TASTE IT!

Ayu with Tetsuya komuro, not the best collaboration, but it doesnt sound so bad.

such a good melody, very much improved and polished vocals.... but why such a poor arrangement? :( this sounds like a b-side from an old 99's single... well, may be this will fit well a-nation lives and other concerts idk :yrolleyes

i think the "youtube edit" might have something to do with that? maybe not. But it has to mean something xD

Loved it when it started out and then it just got boring. The melody for those first lines was really promising but overall, it just doesn't sound, ... full? It's missing something. Honestly, now that I think of it, it sounds like a demo and not a fully polished, mastered, and produced track... Her voice sounds good though.

Don't mean to start a war but I have to throw this out there... it sounds dated as Hell compared to Ku's hot new summer jam.

^ may be that means that the proper arrangement is not ready but they still want to promote a new album :laugh

^I'm thinking it's just to promote the song, since the PV isn't out yet. So they distinguish it by "youtube" edit.

kind of like the radio single version.

Yeah I thought so too! hahaha

It's pretty and summerish! It's up beat after all XDD

^^ Also very possible. haha

Avex hasn't really done this before, right? Releasing a full song sans PV on youtube?

that WOWOWOW reminds me of Glitter LOL

it 's sounds really TK ish ^^ i think i love it so far,so catchy and summerish!

^ They did with Kumi before.

overall, I think I like this song. and I'm sure this will become a big hit in Japan if they promote it properly.

now I want to see PV! I'm sure I like it even more when I see PV :yes so I'm pretty satisfied with this song.

at least she sounds very good and it doesn't hurt to listen her voice :laugh

wow, i like it a lot...
its fast and wow.. love it!

after listening to it for a few times...
It sounds soooo familiar... i just cant place it...
Maybe something from the 1980's Alvin and the Chipmunks movie...

or maybe just an 80's feel to it...

btw do you hear "ayu" repeating several times during instrumental part?

Now that you said it I remember haha.

really like it-- also love the fact that they put it up on youtube in full, even if it is an edit

oh guys! and btw did you notice they use brighter version of 2CD cover!!! not that one that ayu has as a twitter avatar! so may be they print it like this way?????

i don't know what to think, some parts reminds me fairyland, and others sounds like We found love IMO.
I don't hate this song, i'm sure it could grow on me with the PV

It's very nice! I thought it was going to be some stock mid-tempo blah ness in the beginning but I love how she's changing up styles within the song itself. It has nice trance bits in the middle for most of the song, then it mellows out entirely right at the end with piano. It's very fresh, yet somehow still... Ayu? I like it a lot, basically. I've ripped it off Youtube, so if anyone wants the song, lemme know? I bet people have uploaded it already.

I cant wait to see this PV... i just hope its good.
Something like Blue Bird or fairyland...
nothing like from party Queen...

good upbeat summer song

That's because it sounds like so many TRF songs...

I am hoping this is just a RMX because the song sounds a bit repetitive and demo-ish.

the chorus melody is summerish...
it gives me nostalgic vibe of 90 song....

It sounds dated.

But that actually makes me like it a lot, the sound is somewhat nostalgic for me.

I love this *__* First time I felt so pumped about Ayu in a while now but this song is great! I love the trance-y part and it feels like a flashback to some of her older works - I can't find anything to dislike about it at this time :)

it reminds me of something lol kinda old school Ayu...Reminds me of Boys & Girls xD I guess the song is ok, kinda too dancy for my taste but...yeah xD

clubbing on the cruise,why not :P


yes sounds like 90s,but i like it,so catchy,stuck in my head now,you can hear the piano synthesizer by TK ,i guess ,so Thanx A Lot style haha

edit: oh yeah,now i remember this is like Fly High episode 2 ^^

First listen impression: this is HORRIBLE
Hope it grows on me...

Wow, this was unexpected. Anyway, at first listen this song.. idek. It's cheesy and so.. old school sounding. I'm happy and grateful for an upbeat ayu summer track since it has been a while though :P Going to give it a couple more listens to see if it's a grower or not~

Edit:

Yikes, I'm disliking it more the more I listen to it.
It's lacking something. It's lacking that ayu spark.

Don't really know what to think about it, i think it will grow on me but i don't have the time to give it another listen right now.

= =I hate Tetsuya Komuro's repeat x N

every ayu releases something everyone will blame it saying horrible...anooying and so on..
n everytime i stroling along another artist thread when the artist release something that i think it's so so everyone saying wonderfull...masterpiece
may be we're all expecting too much on ayu:rolleyes

summerish and fresh. Not my style but a nice job

I guess I really ain't a fan of TK. I don't like most of his composition in Love Songs. They're too repetitive, including this song. :-|

Agreed! :o


Kome said this is short version,or something like that.

also wondering why they choose it to sound so 90s,

Not my taste. I don't like the lyrics either.

Mind sharing with us why you dislike the lyrics? I'm curious what these lyrics are about :P

I like it compared to the crap on her last album, but not enough to buy the new BEST album...

no for me, sorry Ayu, I really don't like it

lyrics are very simple.

like this:

those memories of that summer are still bright
whenever I remember, it's good with you together

on friday nite our eyes met
on saturday we became closer
on tuesday it became real
on friday it repeated

we loved like in a dream
we loved like this (?)
I wanted to believe that was a destiny


and the last passage I can't translate easily :laugh sorry for my poor English

w t f LOL when the beat came in i felt like i met We Found Love's ugly step sister (rihanna reference btw)
sorry to whoever doesnt like to hear hate for ayu songs but it sounds like garbage.. i had such high hopes!!

Thanks! True the lyrics sound very simple. I get the feeling ayu was lacking inspiration and just wrote these lyrics in a couple of minutes lol.

i think we found love is also so so imo
different taste:lech

Love the trance inspired sounds and glad Ayu came through with a light-weight, happy summer song. You & Me even has her signature "Whoa whoa whoa" and "la la la." s
She's still cute :3

I hope this also means more trance based songs in the future :)

Ohh I was right. It is a shortened version. That's good to know. We still have more to look forward too. :D

YUKARI It makes me think about appears

Oh really? I wonder how long the full track is then. Hopefully there are some better parts to the song that were left out of this edit :P

Thank you!

Very interesting song. I like it.

this is definitely a Tetsuya Komuro song, lmao. :laugh

i like it tho.

Well that's what Kome's tweet said...

Basically... The question was: "This isn't the full chorus right?", to which Kome answered: "This is the advanced youtube released short version."

Unless I'm misunderstanding.

I don't like the beginning and the ending, it's nothing new but just another meh summer song. Was actually expecting for something like "Get myself back" kind of song. Well....

I liked it, even the simple lyrics... it makes the song lighthearted IMO, what is nice considering her recent material is everything but lighthearted :P

Lol people are comparing this to We Found Love...ehhh...I don't care for that song though I loooove Calvin Harris. If ayu worked with Calvin Harris I'm not quite sure it would sound like this...

Anyway, I love this. It feels a bit rough...but I really really like it. The melody is really pretty.

It's unfortunate it doesn't suit many people's tastes but oh well. It's suits mine, though anything can suit mine, including stuff that sounds dated or whatever this sounds like to me.

It remains me TRF's song and I feel young while listening it.

I still can't understand what's happenning. As I can get it it's not the original mix, right?

Neveretheless, it's awesome and I enjoy it much :) Very fresh, bright and positive.

Yeah it does have a trf sound (probably because of TK sound itself lol). It actually makes me feel happy nostalgic and happy. It's not so dated since it's kinda flat beat and "trances" usually don't have a period I think.

I think that this version on youtube lacks the bridge or something.

this makes me hope that they'll improve the arrangement :love

and it's already 4+ minutes long, so I can't imagine how it is going to be in the end Oo

Sounds like someone mashed up We Found Love and Glitter.

The shortest non-interlude on Love Songs is the same length as this so I can see this easily being 5m+ like most of the songs on Love Songs.

I can imagine at 3:18 the full song kinda leads into some sort of Do It Again instrumental orchestra/synth middle 8.

i really like it. it's cool to me

I tried to write kanji text. ?-is that I can't find

あの夏の想い出は
今もまだ鮮やかな まま
いつだって思い出すなら
あなたと２人がいい

あの夏の想い出は
今もまだ鮮やかな まま
いつだって思い出すなら
あなたと２人がいい

on friday nite 目と目が合って
on saturday 近付いたね
on tuesday 確かになって
on friday nite 巡った

あの夏の想い出は
今もまだ鮮やかな まま
いつだって思い出すなら
あなたと２人がいい

夢中になって恋して
そのうちに 愛 して
それが運命なんだって信じていたかった

あの夏は思いきり
日焼けした肌寄せ合って
叫んだり泣いたりしても
それでも 伝えたかった

;)

on friday night 目と目が合って
on saturday 近付いたね　

atte and chikazuita (but you write it more like chikaduita ... it uses づ instead of ず)

日焼けした肌寄せ合って (yoseatte)

Also, the 2's should all be 2人 :)

thanks! =)

Wow, that's TK alright. I'll have to listen to it more though to decide whether I really like it or not though. My immediate impression though is it feels like her vocals don't really settle into the song, almost like they grate against each other.

I'm really hoping that the information about how the YouTube edit isn't the original mix is true. The song has such a sweet melody that I think could've made another hit for Ayu if the song was promoted properly. I think it's definitely a very mainstream-friendly song.

Super TK and TRF-ish!

I like it. Though the listing of the days is a bit much, I think. Why did she skip to Tuesday?! The post-intro breakdown feels very Western imo.

The song is something I had never expected to be, and THAT'S one of the things I like the most.

I think people in this forum likes complaining, XD.

I love this song :love

I think this 90's vibe are done on purpose for the nostalgic aspect, mix with more recents sound it's a very good track for my taste X)

Ayu is serving us some TRF!!!!

I think second chorus should be different
she never sing songs with same choruses

I dunno, I like it but I expected mid-tempo or ballad at least. I hope it grows with every listen.

finally someone realized this,i was waiting what happened on Sunday,Monday and then she said Tuesday! :laugh

You & Me in repeat now,love the intro,this is something energetic and catchy :D

The song is ok but not great. It sounds as a remix of a song for me, especially the techno part after intro. However I really like the fact that it starts with a ballad, continues with a upbeat part & finishes with a quiet part.

1st impression: Similar to rihanna song
2nd impression: got the catchy melodies
3rd impression: feel addicted
4th, 5th, 6th...: THIS IS IT!!! Love this song!!!

Awww yeah...I really like the music and the arrangement but I don't like her singing? I think she uses a too drakish voice instead of something really bright and high, I miss the "let's have fun''-part, if this makes sense haha
But I'm still enjoying the song. It is definitely a grower :)

THIS! :)

I was expecting a slow ballad but what we got is nice. Liking it so far and Ayu's vocals sound great.

I just love this song <3 I can already sing it almost perfectly XD[listened to it about 5 times now] I love how it combines a sad song and a happy song~ [And of course signature Lalala's and Wowwowwow's XD] This would sound great as pure ballad too~

Nice different take from ayu, as this is a dance song. Loving it!~
And I can understand some of the lyrics, yay~
Can't wait how the PV looks!

Why many lalalala?

It's nice and upbeat and pretty catchy!
Sounds like it would fit on the Love Songs album.

Wonderful! ^_^ This somehow gives the Love songs vibe too but it's still different. TK is a genius when it comes to music. Seriously. :heart

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT SUMMER SONG :love

*FAITH IN AYUMI HAMASAKI RESTORED*


OMG AYU I WILL NEVER DOUBT YOUR LEGEND AGAIN TK YOU A GENIUS :love

Hm.. it really sounds like from the 90th... feel like 16 again while listening to it.
I don't like that "Dance-Music-Part" in it really.
Well.. it is just ok..

Considering I'm not a TK fan, I think the fact I think the song is listenable is great for me lol

It's a sweet song. Happy that it's so upbeat and nice. And the ending piano is a plus for me...aw nvm there's another verse lol meh. Liked my ending better but the ending verse is okay.


Anyways. It's nice.

Disappointment.

It's summery, but it's just...
I even prefer glitter to this.
I think if you're going to copy the mainstream, make sure it is the 2012 mainstream.
Sounds outdated.

I love its 2000 sound!^^

When I heard the beginning I was like, LOL ANOTHER BALLAD??? And then the dance part came in OMFG YES! And then it got very boring... fml

That's actually the charm of this song. Why hate on it while it's like taking you back to the most glorious period of Jpop? :shrug
