From Yahoo!Japan

but why in oricon site they put like this:

go here: http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/release/d/661244/1/

What's with the DAI fetish? Kikuchi is infinitely superior imo.

HAL made the arrangement for BLUE BIRD while DAI composed it.

immel: yea i know..so H/\L is actually back on making music for ayu again...

I think cos Oricon only puts the info up for the 1st track (BLUE BIRD in this case) only.

Nothing too interesting, I'm not sure if it's been posted yet.

From j-book

Cool! Glad to see D.A.I (Dai Nagao) back on the composition scene! Same for H/\L!

that's good I guess blue bird can be a good single just like last time of ayu

Woah! Great makers make great singles! :D

I'm definitely glad to see DAI composing for Ayu again! I wish they'd team up again!! Ayu's so talented when it comes to composing her own music!

what songs did Kikuchi dude did ?

Beautiful Fighters.

^ and arranged by CMJK :D

GEO did Ladies Night?? For some reason that surprises me...

Maybe they'll continue to compose Ayu's music from now on. Or at least for a while. I hope this can be a contributing facter for better sales.

Better songs=better sales?

Yeah.. he composed it like.. a long time ago xD

It's sad that Ayu has her top composers/arrangers in this single and yet I was still terribly disappointed by it, (especially "beautiful fighters"). I guess it (in general) really doesn't matter who composes, it depends on what style Ayu wants the song to be. And I'm not really a fan of her experimenting >.>

As for the remixes, isn't it usually someone different who remixes the song? And if so, why aren't they credited as "remixed by: blah blah blah"

I glad DAI is still composing for ayu! for some reason i thought maybe he would stop since do as infinity broke up.

umm HAL never really stopped composing for ayu
i know for sure that rainy day was composed by one of the HAL members!
i dont like DAI's song at all, but good to know hes back, maybe he can produce material similar to his older stuff, BLUE BIRD and WILl were a complete disapointment to me

It did. I think in the jbook one it said 'Remix: NISH' cause that was the person who did Harderground.

And for Ladies Night ~another night~ they switched the arrangement from whoever it was before to tasuku since basically that song was just rearranged with no 'extra beats' and some things cut out of it.

[And sometimes it's not even the composer's fault for the music. The arranger should be the one to make it sound different and all that. Since they determine the 'sounds'.. so go blame H/\L or CMJK xD]

I'm glad DAI returned. No wonder I like the song so much. [lol if BLUE BIRD came out like years ago, we'd probably have loved it xD]

wow! DAI! but this those songs didnt relli sound like DAI's but owell~

i heard that a guy named GEO composed it...or arranged it or something....as well as B&D, Pride, Beautiful Day, Ladies Night...most of the songs that ayu 'borrowed' from sweetbox

rainy day was one of the songs that GEO composed for (miss)understood.

GEO did the following:
Bold&Delicious
Pride
Ladies Night
Beautiful Day
rainy day
In the Corner

All except In the Corner were included on SWEETBOX's Addicted album [In the Corner was on their other album, Raw Treasures].

Some had redone names, like rainy day = Every Step, and Beautiful Day = Beautiful Girl..

The songs though were given to Ayu by GEO, and it wasn't like she 'omg stole!' them. :D

i didnt know how popular sweetbox in japan

but i think their more recognized now like us 'ayu fans outside

japan' who never heard of sweetbox before so i do think is quite fair for both

parties :)
