Yeah. It is a great song, but it does drag over the middle section. I remember thinking, Oh this is tolerable, but when Melody came around, I honestly thought Ayu was deliberately draining her music of energy or real tired that month.
Anyway you spin it, it was 100x better than Ayu's Valley Girl crisis of late 2012. I have no clue what possessed Ayumi to become 6 shades darker and sing like a baby on You & Me, but I'm so glad that era is over. Does anyone know if she fired the person that brushes her hair during that period? I was pretty surprised by how ratchet her hair looked. I was expecting dread wax, but instead noticed that she stuck clips in her hair to distract from its desperation to be brushed and styled. I call these years Ayu The Explorer because she was a few Spanish words, a hot cousin, and a few pounds off from being Dora.
