progress opinions

Surprised there's no thread on this already. What's everyone opinion of the song?

My opinion: its epic. The chorus is amazing, and the composition/arrangement is so dense and interesting. Feels like a rock opera. Get some Mirrorcle World vibes from this song.

I love it!! The piano in the beginning, the strings, the pureness of Ayu's voice, then the way the instruments all suddenly come in!! The epicness of the full chorus... need me say more?

Yeah, it's awesome.

I liked very much!, the orchestra part in the beginning es beautiful. The chorus is powerfull, exactly what was missing in most of the Love songs`s tracks. Maybe is not a "revelation" o "greatest hit" in ayu discography but is really good to me, because I always wanted an ayu song with an anime vibe on it

it's typically ayu song...
so ayuish..
the verse reminds me of blossom while the guitar solo reminds me of endless sorrow guitar solo single vers...
the music flows like evolution as it starts with soft ballad then turns out to be rockish...
after all i love this song
i love it as i hear it for the first time n i dont have to get used with it to love this song...

I totally love this song. I can't stop to listened to it!
I love the orchestra intro, the ballad part, the pop part & the rock guitar!!
Seriously progress is amazing. I hope we'll be able to see it in live soon!

I love this song!!!!
It's perfect for a live performance. lots of the instrumental bits and breaks just scream for an audience surprise.. Costume change.. Something..
This and the covers are really reawakening any ayu fans who have been disappointed.. I haven't seen thus much praise since maybe sparkle or microphone.

i don't know how to describe this song...
it's perfect for me.
love the beginning, with the soft piano part n ayu's vocal starts singing..
then the music starts energetically..and come to the solo electric guitar, awesome!
the bridge part is the best part, the climax.
then finally it ends with the soft piano playing again~

sorry i donno how describe it in a good way

The song is perfect! It has the adventure-fighting vibe needed for Tales of Xilia
I love the instrumentation, it's very beautiful

I love this song so much! It seems to go by way too fast for me, which is a good thing. It has a very movie-like feel to it, which is awesome.

I like the Ballad-Part.. I like the Pop-Part... but I hate the guitar-Solo. It destroyes the song for me. So.. it is a good song... but would be much much better, without this messy guitar-solo.
If she would cancel it from the song, it would be a geate song.

I like it. I'm not in love with it and I don't think it's amazing. I also like it less than almost any song on Love songs. But I don't have any complaints about it other than her vocals being really strained, and I hope her voice isn't so loud on the official track.

I'm also not really that fond of the guitar solo and bridge, just because they sound like they were taken straight out of SURREAL to me. >_<

But yeah, I like it.

So I was going to name my favorite parts of the song like other people were doing here, but then I just wound up describing the whole song from start to finish I basically love every single thing about it, only part I didn't like was that the song was in LQ. There is so much going on in it and so many different parts that make it almost impossible to get bored while listening - kind of like Mirrorcle World. I can't wait to hear it in glorious HQ~

^ lol Same here. I was going to name the parts I liked most, but it ended up being practically the whole song so I decided not to.

I don't like it at all
I feel like it's all over the place and I honestly just don't like how her voice sounds either.

I didn't like the melody at first, and I think, there are some things she does that, god, her composers need to learn about real flow, instead of the little tricks they pull to try to make the song flow.

But the melody grew on me by the end of the song. It's a very Ayu song, and it sounds like a lot of things she's done before....but that's not so bad, cause, it's actually better than a lot of stuff she's done.

And the last note is perfect. The composers got one thing right! That made me smile.

That's big. I think the song is gonna be epic live, even if her vocals can't pull it off, the music may be strong enough to carry her...and I really can't wait to hear an HQ version that is fully mastered and what parts they choose to have low and high....it's very exciting.
