Step by Step won the poll , next preview snippet wise



https://twitter.com/ayu_19980408/sta...40879082139649

The mood is very cheery , just like the original take

TheRainbow 11th December 2015 01:37 PM

I like Step by step! Especially the section right after the chorus. :)

maxikot 11th December 2015 01:38 PM

Very christmasish remix, like it ;)

Yoake 11th December 2015 01:50 PM

Wow! The new arrangement make it very different. There is something grandiose without being heavy. A very bright sound. The end of the preview make me think about Disney's arrangmements I played in my orchestras.

KarenPang 11th December 2015 01:55 PM

The flute like sound prior to the Step by step preview being cut off is my favourite part of the clip

I think I'm going to like this a lot more than the original take of the song

AyuWorld 11th December 2015 01:59 PM

Omg totally loved this version of SbS! At least it didnt sound the usual acoustic orchestra that we used to get in her previous remix albums.

Loved the bass, the cheerful feeling and the flute! :D

pimenta 11th December 2015 02:28 PM

I like Step by step! I'm happy it has the same uplifting feeling as the original, and the arrangements sound great, they have a light feeling to them that's very pleasant to hear. The flute after the chorus is really nice.

xLuna&1LOVE 11th December 2015 02:51 PM

Winter Diary slowly starts to grow on me. When people start to build xmas-theme festivals in front of your door, which is happening in my town, the song fits the atmosphere & you start to enjoy it. Unfortunately it will never be a favourite, but I can easily join the gang of yay-sayers of this winter song.

Step By Step is... very expected. Not an amazing, outstanding arrangement. It fits the song though. I think that is good enough. Gimme WARNING, Sorrows and NO FUTURE!

BlackSilence 11th December 2015 03:00 PM

i really like SbS but then again i really liked the original too. This version though sounds even more cheery than the original.

Linza-mo 11th December 2015 03:27 PM

I'm very surprised by Step by step ! it sounds great! <3

kyo_arayuru 11th December 2015 03:47 PM

Step by step sounds like honey from my story classical... sounds great

maxikot 11th December 2015 03:52 PM

She can freely perform this Step by step version with Winter diary while sitting in a sleigh xD And I'm liking WD more and more :D

melissalove 11th December 2015 04:04 PM

Sbs sounds so good. I'm really liking this release so far.

AyuGAME 11th December 2015 04:15 PM

wow...I love the remix for Step by step..definitely step up from the original version...

Gustavopc 11th December 2015 04:20 PM

It didn't interest me :( Wish I was as happy with it as almost everyone else seems to be

jean-baptiste 11th December 2015 04:52 PM

Step by Step sounds really good!

Winter diary might grow on me in full.

Montebello 11th December 2015 05:02 PM

I love the original Step By Step but I didn't care much about this version.
Winter Diary still sounds bad to me and the intro takes cringing to high new levels.

Chibi-Chan 11th December 2015 05:07 PM

I love christmas songs, I even made a thread for them. But I honestly don't get why people think Winter diary sounds like one. I doesn't sound like a christmas song at all to me, more like a typical kitschy jpop song released by a girl group at every season of this year (if you cut the intro).

DevilsClap 11th December 2015 05:17 PM

the flute part in Step by Step is my favorite part of the preview.
