Your thoughts on HEAVEN single so far
 

I think this single is very promising, it has one song featured in a really anticipated movie, and features another with a totally different style of her singing... She also has two really good songs that are arranged differently, and sounds really good... she just might win a Japan Record Award again... this single is excellent!

your thoughts?

I think that she has an impressive chance of winning the Japan Record Awards with HEAVEN.

Yeah! Agree with that! HEAVEN is such a perfect and angelic song!!! I'm so touched when I heard this song! I hope her singles will be the highest sales among her others singles. Let pray for this!!

i'm amazed by this single !!
she'll win The Japan Record Award !! Heaven kicks major a$$ ..

Go AYU !!

I love it! I hope "HEAVEN" wins the Japan Record Award...but remember, ayu's gotta watch out for those crazy and deprived hikki fans!

Me too, but Be My Last also has big potential! I love HEAVEN single because all the tracks in the single is relevant and great! Fairyland had the unimportant Fairyland Brightfield Mix, Heaven has HEAVEN PIANO VERSION!! :luv2

I reall REALLY love the song, but on the previews Will sounded ok, but I wasn't too found of the piano version and the acoustic version.

I wish it would be HEAVEN Acoustic Orchestra Version instead.

It's such a refreshing change of pace in contrast to her recent releases. The last ballad single she released was "CAROLS", which was nearly a year ago.

With "Will", I was impressed from the start. So traditional and nice and pretty. "HEAVEN" was the song I wasn't impressed with at first, but when the full song and video came out, it really grew on me. I can't get the main chorus out of my head even now. Soba ni ite aiseru hito.... So sweet.

in the beginning somekind of a sad feeling but when the chorus comes along I get filled with a depressed yet happy feeling gushing up XD

Yes, its so long sice she released a 5-star ballad!! Will really impressed me ever since that funny CM came out, it sounds very Japanesey! LOVE IT! Your sig is a lot prettier!! :luv2

i think heaven can do well, especially when it is coupled with a major film release. shinobi is getting promoted a lot, and so is heaven. i really hope heaven will be a recent bestseller, and outperform her recent singles!

Ummm... I'm nut sure 'bout it! I mean Yeah! HEAVEN is a really good single so far Ayumi had released, but i'm still nut sure 'bout is she gonna win sumefin' because of it...

I would say that the HEAVEN single will be a hit, because of the movie. I love the Alterna one! ^^"

I'm not a huge ballad fan so in my opinion HEAVEN is nice but not great. I do hope it does well though.

I think it's a great song even though I have contrasting feelings towards the PV. ^^;;

Quite a well balanced single indeed. I'm sure once we get the full single there will be more fans of it.

it's been long since she won an Japan Record Award.... hope HEAVEN will make it up for it! ^^ since the song got stuck in my mind forever...

YES!! hope AYu wins Japan Records Award~!!! :meditate

I think this single will be her best in a long time. Although I waen't impressed by the preview of the alterna remix, every onther track sounds good - awesome. Will sounds very "different" from everything she did so far though, but I like it. I just can't imagine how she's going to pull the new album off?!? THere are sooo many different singles, no "read thread".

HEAVEN is pretty good. I like it. But what really impressed me and made me want to buy the single was...

WILL! Ayu's vocals are top notch there! The songs a mix between modern & traditional.

HEAVEN does have the potential to win the Japan Record Awards, but I think..*sigh* Hikki will win this year..
