Thoughts on NEXT LEVEL (FX40 CM Version)

CHAS_AYU · #1 20th February 2009, 01:51 AM

Panasonic LUMIX FX40 CM is out, BGM: NEXT LEVEL

What do you think of NEXT LEVEL?

In my opinion, it is peaceful and sounds like GREEN.

Since this song with the same title as the album, I believe the new album will be quite different from previous albums.

sometimes i think it might be easier to add a poll with this discussion thread cause someone else probably will, then a bunch of random threads, but anyways

i liked it, it was refreshing! and sounded very asian to me~ though it might live up to par with her other title tracks~ but i'll have to wait and see

Totally not what I was expecting! But it sounds so pretty!
It's going to be a very diverse album
maybe with Rock, electronica, and oriental pieces!
Can't wait!

NEXT LEVEL = GREEN (take 2 version)

You can do much better than that Ayu.

I've been having the commercial on repeat...

I really really like NEXT LEVEL! I didn't expect it to sound like this... as I said in the original thread, NEXT LEVEL sounds like a mellower and calmer version of GREEN, which is like totally cool.

I can see NEXT LEVEL going in many new and different musical directions. Whoa, I'm really looking forward to it now.

Right now, we have

Oriental/Asian - GREEN & NEXT LEVEL
J-Pop Ballad - Days
Rock - Rule
Electronica/Trance/Dance music - Sparkle

I'm really looking forward to the new album.

i love it. i was expecting something different (more faster) but it sounds slow and soothing and great

this is seriously going to be an awesome album, i'm so excited

Wow you guys make threads fast!

I love how none of us expected NEXT LEVEL to sound anything like this! I think that alone is what makes it really great hahaha.

emi♡ · #8 20th February 2009, 02:01 AM

I don't think it's like GREEN at all...

It doesn't even sound like it has Asian twists to me...I guess because I'm not Asian?

I personally hope it isn't...but it probably will be since it would help the flow...and other people think so lol

Ayumiko · #9 20th February 2009, 02:13 AM

it sounds a little bit like beautiful fighters but prettier and softer.

What I wrote on the CM's thread - Sounds like a great up-beat song and not of the ones that get on the nerves.
It's really mellow and easy to listen to (from the preview of course). ^__^
Looking forward for the full song!

amorphose · #11 20th February 2009, 02:15 AM

It sounds like a happy version of GREEN.
Thus far, I do not like it. Usually, my initial reaction to the preview is the same as what I will think of the full song. -.-

She should've left NEXT LEVEL a concept like MY STORY, imo.

It doesn't remind me of GREEN at all ._.... GREEN did sound darker and more sullen in the CM, this one doesn't. GREEN made me think of autumn, and NEXT LEVEL is making me think of spring :3

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that! On my first listen I thought that it sounded like a soft version of Beautiful Fighters.

Ayumiko · #14 20th February 2009, 02:32 AM

^lol...I thought I was the only one...XD

I thought so too
haha

NEXT LEVEL wasn't exactly what I was waiting for that song to be, but it seems to be a nice song with a more mature style. I'm sure that when we'll get the full version it will grow on me

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #17 20th February 2009, 02:40 AM

it sounds awesome!!

really cuteee and softy pop kinda thing

haha the commercial is really random xD

and she looks awesome!!!!

Akutenshi · #18 20th February 2009, 02:51 AM

Very underwhelming so far, let's hope the full thing surprises me.

Zeke. · #19 20th February 2009, 03:03 AM

Dang. I like it - it sounds nice, but I was expecting a sexy electro trance sound like Sparkle. Ha ha.

Cute and I think I'll like it. Very different. Although I can see the similarities with GREEN - GREEN just never made me

though. Kinda dull. Lol. This one I like though.

**Calico** · #20 20th February 2009, 03:09 AM

I'm wondering if this is only one part of the song...kinda like Dr. in the VS CM. Because I have a hard time believing that this song would be the "NEXT LEVEL" as it were. It's so underwhelming for me. But hopefully the full track will surprise me for the better.
