Wow, actually I always thought
fairyland sounded VERY summer-ish!
One of the things I love about the song is that it made me think for the first time that summer was actually fun XD It's not like I hated summer, but I never thought of it as anything special, compared to the other seasons
But fairyland PV + lyrics (not the "nostalgic childhood" bits, but things like "the smell of the wind has changed") + the melody&arrangement gave of an...
intoxicating (is that the word?
) summerish fun feeling~
I usually put fairyland in the same category as BLUE BIRD and glitter...
But, you know, I just realized... I gotta say... if the lyrics are beautiful, I don't mind it, even if Ayu ends releasing the same kind of song every year on summer.
Sure, BLUE BIRD is very typical summer pop song, but those are among my all-time favorite Ayu lyrics, so I LOVE the song.
INSPIRE is awfully catchy and absurdly energetic though, and I'd REALLY love to see something like that again (melody&arrangement-wise, at least)
And yeaaaaah I want another 4/3-a side single! After bringing back ayu-mi-x, this is just what she needs for the 10th anniversary summer release!
