First of all, this is the first time (and probably the last) that I've started a thread like this. I've considered posting in one of the opinion threads. The reason that I didn't is that I feel that a lot of people are missing out on what I think is a wonderful song which is unfortunately misunderstood. I'm not bashing anyone, or irrationally forcing my opinions on you. I'm just making a suggestion that may change your opinion of the song, or at least not find it as irritating. This suggestion is only for those people who listened to the song for the first time while watching the PV.

My suggestion? Forget about the PV.

I'm saying this because I listened to the mp3 first, and while I don't hate the PV, I think the PV made the song sound far more sugar-y and pop than it should have. Just listen to the song without the presumption that it's sugar-pop. Before watching the PV, my take on the song was that it was a soft rock song to begin with, with quite a bit of synthesiser sounds thrown in, making it pop-rock. For me, it sounded like "STEP you" with more of a rock tinge. After the PV, it may just sound like sugar overload, the rock tinge disregarded.

Music is of course an subjective thing, and unless you change your mindset the song will always sound the same. And I know that there are some strongly-opinionated people in this forum. It's more than likely that after my suggestion that everyone still feel the same about the song, but a suggestion can't hurt, can it? (Actually, it can only hurt me, making me look like an idiot for trying to change people's opinions with something so abstract.)

Since we're all Ayu fans, our music tastes must be pretty close. Try it, you may even begin to love the song.
