"Moments" discussion

Ive only been on the forums for a little over a week now, but ive heard next to nothing about this great song! For me it was the song which got me addicted to Ayumi in the first place, and ever since I first started listening to Ayu all those years ago, that song still manages to stay in my "25 most played" playlist on my iPod!

Moments...great song, or is it just me?

Well, you havn't heard much about it because it's kind of old

When it came out, and around the time MY STORY came out too, there were alot of talking about it. Just keep in mind not all songs stay in our spotlight all the time, Ayu releases new songs, and those come to our attention.

And yes, it is an awseome song, I like the MY STORY Classical version of it!

"Moments" is pretty old now, and it gets lost in my playlists, but when that track comes on I go "OMMMGGG I LUV THIS SOOONNGGG". Thanks for bringing it back to my attention! The remix is good too :3.

I used to just think it was okay, not that great. While it's still not incredible to me, it has grown on me over time, and I find it very haunting and mysterious, and I like that.

Moments is also the song which attracted my attention to ayu! When I heard it at the airplane to the USA back in around april 2004(it was on their playlist for japanese tracks), I was curious as to who it was, and afterwards, I bought A Best when I was in the US. I was actually disappointed that Moments wasn't there, but I learned to love the songs in there eventually.

up to now, Moments is still one of my most played songs in my iPod. still in the "25 most played"... wonderful song. but as people said, it's old already. for me, a classic ayu song.

I love Moments, it's a beautiful song with a good PV and Remix. Maybe some of that is due to nostalgia since it was her newest single when I became a big fan and started hunting for all her albums/PVs/etc. instead of listening to just twenty or so songs.

Yes..it pulled me to Ayu too...from MS

this is the first song i looked up for the lyrics and it really wow-ed me..the lyrics are really gd and cool! the tune is amazing too

i heard this rumour that this wasnt a song AYu wanted to do (purely for Kose)..until fans requested it...really?

if it is, i wonder what will happen to MS without this great song

It's a shame the original version of Moments was never released; I think I would've liked that versions better. It has a certain elegance to it, with both her voice as the arrangements.

And yea; Moments wasn't supposed to be a single. The song was made as a special extra in Ayu's very last Kose-CM. But at Teamayu, people liked the song so much that it just needed to be released.

I have never loved Moments, but I've always liked it ^_^
but when I used to listen to it, I was really depressed and the song reminds me somewhat of this time. so... well.
but HANABI is a really great song imo, though. I don't know why Ayu didn't do a PV for this... maybe it's gonna be on A BEST black DVD? ^w^"

i hate that she doesn't like to sing MY STORY songs in her recent concerts(except humming 7/4 )(which ISN'T a song). moments is truly a great song and great performance as well in my story tour.
well my favourite would be game, walking proud and Carols.
Moment make me feel like looking at something soososo beautiful that make u feel sad

I've been convinced for the past 8 months that Moments is her best song.

Moments isn't one of my favorite ayu songs, and in fact, when I first heard it, I hated it, but, I mean, it's one of her songs that you just have to respect because it's so great.
