Days is amazing!

I just have to express my appreciation or Days. I saw a few-seconds clip of the PV in someone's post (of Ayu crying at the end) and immediately it just brought back the PV and how amazing it is. I mean, compared to her recent PVs, it's just one of the best in my opinion. And the song is amazing as well! It's beautiful and moving, but without sounding like a generic sad song. And it's also perfect for the upcoming season!

I just felt a sudden need to express my love for Days. 1: (I can totally get why it was voted as no.1 Ayu song by the Japanese fans!)

Yes, Days is one of my favs. Definitely really showed me Ayu still has it. I'm so in love with it and I can't wait til the first snowfall so I can listen to it!

Days is perfection, it makes me sad that so many Ayu fans hate on it.

The pv, the covers, the song, everything.

^ See I just totally hated You were... - I think it has nothing on Days. Can't even compare (imo). I think maybe people say it's "generic" or "boring" because you know where the song is going. There isn't much of a mystery sounding the structure of the song, the composition, the melody. But that's what I love. It seems like it was composed perfectly, simply, effortlessly but actually with a lot of effort... if that makes sense. It just feels to me everything for this song worked in its favor. I prefer something like this over HEAVEN or something more boring like that (sorry HEAVEN fans). See also "Virgin Road"

^ Yes, exactly!

HEAVEN is ok - I love love LOVE the piano version from the slideshow on the DVD. I listen to it a lot. But it was just so "hyped" as being the best ballad and rivaling "My Heart Will Go On" as far as power and epicness goes and I just find it kind of a letdown and a snoozefest. Lol. Endless Sorrow is an EPIC ballad - much more so than HEAVEN.

But yeah, Virgin Road I really dislike because the chorus is just... not good.

I fell for that song this year around April when I was crushing on this guy. Like omgg I had such a huge crush on him. The lyrics helped me get over that

TOTALLY. Like the original mix was kinda bittersweet and cute sounding but the AOV makes it sound so melancholic and heartbreaking... <3

For me, I prefer the original mix by far.
The remix sucks.

Hopefully there's a nice remix on ayu trance 4.

I disagree about it not sounding like a generic song. it's her most generic ballad to date, imo. but, I really am liking it lately.

I always thought the acoustic orchestra version was so much better than the original! it's seriously gorgeous.

Days is one of her best ballads for me. Probably because I related to it so much when it came out! I even wrote the lyrics on a card I made for this guy I had a crush on LOL. It didn't work out, but I found someone much better anyway I'm pretty sure I'M his Days crush!
