Daybreak's single version and the album version are both so good that I can never choose a favorite between the two. The album version with the solemn verses breaking into high energy highlight the optimistic air of the song, but the subdued, dreamy version from the single/video serves the sorrowful parts of the lyrics. So atmospheric.
Lastly, I think that this lyric is one of her greatest.
Light and shadow are
really the same thing.
If you close your eyes,
you can see them on your own.
Both the sadness in happiness,
and the hope at the end of pain
I don't agree with it, but when fans are nostalgic for "this" Ayu I have learned to completely understand who they're referring to and why they miss her. There was this rough quality about Ayumi, wether it was her voice or her rock sound. I did always wonder why it was that Ayumi never branched off into a band/rock side project because she was so in her element.
