until that Day... - Thoughts
 
Following Not yet I'm going onto until that Day..., it starts out very promising.

A little weak drums, but hey, it sounds cool. Her voice is robotic in the beginning, and stays so throught the OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU LA LA LAIII parts, which sound just awesome. Hmm, I feel so biased towards Ayumi, but hey, this is actually quite awesome.

The the song gets started, the arrangements are heavy, and it's fast, but it doesn't get really fast until it goes onto the chorus.

It takes the song quite some time to get into the chorus, something Ayumi often hurries to get into. Maybe an effect from it being an interlude from the start.

The later parts of the songs is mixes of quick paced yelling and soothingly calm singing, the chorus repeated over and over again. I like the effect.

Definitely one of my favorite tracks on this album. I believe it needs more than one listen to get used to the "robotic" effect on her voice at the start.

Ahhh, song is ending soon, over to the next :).

I love the woooo LA LA LA.

Definitely a concert song.

It starts out like Are You Wake Up? and then kinda sounds like the S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT song LOL

Ayu's amazing. She's playing around with structure like CRAZY.

You summed it up so well immel and truehappiness. I just love the fast paced singing, reminds me of evolution (which I love) but with a stronger rock esque feel to it.

Lawve eet.

Queen Bee 26th November 2006 06:04 PM

I am in LOVE with this song! I just love how Ayu sounds and the structure of it all together.

kaue_ 26th November 2006 06:05 PM

BRILLIANT! So catchy, makes me wanna get up and run, dance around... just... jump or something!

I'm sorry, I sound stupid, it's the frenzy, blame it on Ayu, she's done it again.

Axel_Grease 26th November 2006 06:07 PM

I'm glad until that Day... became a full song instead of an interlude. It sounds too good to be an interlude.

Looking through all my "reviews" now that I've calmed down a bit, and killed my ears with kiss o' kill, I feel the same, hahaha.

She still did a great job, though.

This song is quite normal paced, and then it just explodes into some kind of evolution frenzy towards the end.

I really adore this song. It's a little different than what I expected from the 30 second preview, but dear god. Once you start singing it, it really grabs you. I also like the "uuuu lalalai" parts. Then just when I didn't think the part from the preview would come... BAM! I am absolutely sold on this song.

And the guitar at 3:35. :love I think the song is really unique.

until that Day... > most other songs on planet

There we go.

*Petit* 26th November 2006 09:27 PM

I love this song and agree with the above, but I feel like I've heard that guitar hook before... AC/DC perhaps?

Nu-NRG 26th November 2006 09:30 PM

In ayu's interview I thought it's a consistant fast paced song like evolution but
no it changes in the tempo...I love the explosioness!
It this was origianlly a interlude....it really ruins it, glad it is a full now! :D

ImpactBreaker 26th November 2006 09:30 PM

This song goes beyond excellent for me. I was was really deceived for "Not Yet" being such an fantastic but short track...but I just forgot about about that when this song started playing. I was afraid the "uh uh la la lai" would be the generic one she often uses for ballads, but it impressed me that it was different and made the song rather "Tribal" along with the drumbeats which was awesome. Love it to pieces and bits. This song is quite unique in ayu's discography.

uniquelydefined 26th November 2006 09:32 PM

It's so 80's sounding, but I love it. I don't know if I'd want her to replace evolution with this in her arena tours though.

Welcome! I was waiting for you to drop in when I saw you post in the general Secret discussion thread, hehe.

"Not yet" isn't too short, well, it's good and short, but it's long for being an interlude. It took me two listens to get used to "until that Day...", I was weirded out by the roboticness in the beginning, but it all balances out.

Tribal? Interesting expression but I don't know what sound to connect it to, so for now until that Day...'s uh uh la la lai will define tribal sound for me :D.

I'd like to couple it with kiss o' kill in that respect, never heard an arrangement quite like it for any of her songs.

They'd make an awesome combination :).

AyuMayu 26th November 2006 09:58 PM

ew i hate this song

blahh 26th November 2006 09:59 PM

This is like another anger management song(for me).
I mean, same with 1LOVE, when I listen to it, I just wanna break stuff.lol
Overall, this songs is really nice and it sounds so retro.

Could you maybe please explicate a little?

I'm so totally in love with this song so I'm itching to hear about how it sounds in the ears of someone who isn't all too fond of it. Please explain to me how you experience the song when you listen to it.

Tribal as in it reminds me of the sound red indians do during their dancing rituals.

I wasn't listening to the song when I replied, so I didn't have it freshly in my memory, I did now, though.

I see what you mean.

I hate when I notice the limitations to my English, I didn't know what to connect tribal to.

makie_7 26th November 2006 10:27 PM

One of my favourites tracks in the album! the chorus is just amazing!
i agree this song would be an amazing combination with evolution!
