Thoughts on the fairyland c/w alterna single

[Coelacanth]

My thoughts...

fairyland - awesome
alterna - even more awesome

STEP you (TAKI-**** remix) - OMG! LOVING IT! I almost like it better than the original. The original is too loud at times. This is one of my favorite remixes from her!

fairyland (Bright Field mix) - AWESOME! Notice the excerpts from 'flower garden' in the song. I thought that was pretty cool. This has gotta be one of my favorite remixes too.

Man, she needs to get more remixers like this. I have to buy this single, it's too good.

10/10

this single is honestly Ayu's best in a long time. The remixes sounded much better than i thought, and Alterna sounds amazing at 320kbs.

One thing about the fairyland remix though..it makes Ayu sound really flat(pitch-wise)..o.o

[Taishaku]

totally agree... the original songs are great in lyrics and composition, plus the remixes are catchy and filled with a summer-ish vibe...

definitely a must buy, especially the cd+dvd version!!! noone can miss such amazing pvs...

[Creamy Ayumi]

i'm a fan of this Ayu summer single!!!
I love alterna and fairyland!!2 differents styles, 2 bigs songs!!!
I love it definitively!!!!

[Syphex]

I dislike reggae. But the STEP you MIX is awesome. It just fits perfectly.

And let me say that alterna is the best sounding one on there at 320 kbps.

fairyland mix is a lot better then the preview. But there should have been more trance instruments added. It sounded a little flat; making it fuller would have been awesome.

[stardusties]

It's the most worth of your money...since her singles from I am... and below. Ima buy it as soon as I can

if only that guy wasn't in the STEP you mix, i wouldda given it a 10/10...but eh...it's like an 8 O_o;;

the fairyland remix! HOLY! ^^- it gots flower garden'd up! great remix!

[Ayufan Madeen]

fairyland - cool cheer up-ish summer song ^^, remainds me ANGEL'S SONG in chorus and instrumental part remainds me Dolls. Still is in my mind : D. 8/10
alterna - awesome song Oo', very 'courageous' lyrics, great arrangement (i love those gitars *___*), all in this song is cool! I love alterna! 10/10
STEP you "TAKI-******* More Step Up mix" - for me it sux! I don't like it ==".2/10
fairyland "Bright Field Mix" - I really like this remix ... I don't liked preview but full version is really awesome! It remainds me last CMJK's remixes a little. 8/10

Can't wait when I receive my copy of fairyland *^^*.

I'm sorry Avex but STEP you totally stole this single for me!!! I've listened to it about a million times already and I don't really care about the other tracks!!

Fairyland - 8/10
Alterna - 8/10
STEP you - 10/10
Fairyland - 6/10

[Halla]

overall the single is probably the best single from her in awhile , 2 new songs + 2 good remixes.

Fairyland I like this song a lot . It has a nice & calm summery feel with just a teeny hint of melancholy , but the chorus is just too much like on 'Angels Song'. other than that the song is good

Alterna this is such a amazing song , I really like the music on it. nice guitars and some digital effects , which I always like. the singing feels just really filled with emotion , especially the chorus. I love it

STEP you (DJ Taki-xxxx more step up mix) reggaeton seems to be really trendy & popular at the moment. If I hadn't heard this remix a reggaeton remix of ayu would sound like a big mistake to me , but this mix actually works really well. it's a great summery dancy tune . and a very different and original mix among ayu's remixes , excellent work

Fairyland (Bright Field mix) this is an ok remix. it's a nice different version of Fairyland. nothing too awesome tho , but still a nice addition to the single

[Cyria]

fairyland - not outstanding, but a nice enough song.

alterna - it has that rock style but doesn't really resemble other recent songs like GAME, that's good. Great chorus.

STEP you remix - I HATE this. I think the two singers make it sound too messy when their voices overlap, and there's far too much of the male singer. I want to listen to Ayu, not some random guy. I really love STEP you but this remix is a big disappointment, even more so since remixes are so rare these days.

fairyland remix - good, it has a nice sound.

[bpulse]

fairyland - awesome track! this song would fit I am... perfectly well! It's a good mid-tempo song for a single released in the end of the summer, fits the occasion really well! The PV for fairyland is just WOW, an amazing PV, beautiful! 9/10

alterna - again, awesome track, really different when compared to fairyland. its a really good rockish song, not generic but really original. the lyrics have a deep meaning and the PV is probably the craziest Ayu PV ever. fairyland and alterna have two completely different styles, and this adds a lot to the single. 10/10

STEP you (Mix) - another original track, really original remix, gives a different feel to STEP you. it's nice to see Ayu's single with remixes again, and this one sure is a good remix. 7/10

fairyland (Mix) - i just LOVE this remix. i love the combo of flower garden with fairyland. it's not special or anything, it's just GOOD. 8/10

Overall - I think this is one of the best singles Ayu has ever released, of course it doen't have as many tracks as her older singles, but there are 4 tracks you'll actually listen to. 9/10

[elepop]

This must be Ayu's best single from a very looonnnggg time.

fairyland - Beautiful song. Summer-ish. Happy, yet sad. Great melody and awesome brige! But i'll tend to get tired of it easily since it's really pop. 9/10

alterna - One her her best rock songs. Wait, this IS her best rock song. Because it's actually different from her other rock materiel. Plus, it's an awesome PV. One of her very best. Excellent song, love it. 10/10

STEP you "TAKI-**** More Step Up mix" - I'm personally not into reggea but the remix sounds quite nice. 8/10

fairyland "Bright Field Mix" - This one is quite normal. Let's wait for the full version to make my final desicion, but for now i'll give a 7/10.

A bonus 'fairyland' acoustic would have been even better!

[Syphex]

fairyland "Bright Field Mix" - This one is quite normal. Let's wait for the full version to make my final desicion, but for now i'll give a 7/10.

But the full version is out =o

[hiroko1234]

for me

Whole single 11/10

[Qt Mashi]

i think i like this sigle better than the STEP you/is this LOVE? single

im still not sure!

[orangeland]

this single was okay. personally, i think the fairyland mp3 that floated a month earlier ruined it for me. i had nothing new to expect -___-.

fairyland - a nice, happy song. danceable, good to listen to when you're depressed. 7.5/10

alterna - omg...this song ROCKS. i love it. love it love it love it. one of ayu's BETTER rock songs (if not the best). 10/10

STEP you "DJ-TAKI **** more Step Up remix" - sorry. but this is..well..****. i personally hated it. i prefer the rockish, more dramatic original ver. this is too beachy and reggae-ish for me. and i dislike all the little vocal added in blurbs. i donno, maybe it'll grow on me. 2/10

fairyland "Bright field mix" - your average ayu mix. okay, not awesome, but okay. did anyone notice that part of the remix has something that sounds like "hey hey" from flower garden? 4/10

overall, i think this was an okay single. the title songs were great (especially alterna!!), but the remixes..eh. i expected too much out of the remixes, they were kinda of a let down for me (especially the STEP you mix).

overall grade - 5.6/10

[Qt Mashi]

oh i just noticed the "TAKI-****" i was wondering why every put " * "

[Joel]

The remixes are a whole lot better than the previews... Im imprresed with the mixes

[~mapi~]

I loved it!! All the songs are great, but my fav is alterna ^o^. I can't wait to have my cd+dvd single version.

[kristen]

I like Fairyland and the Instrumental. As for the rest.. i dont really like... especially the remixes x.x
