BRILLANTE thoughts/opinions
Ayu literally saved the album with this song. It is absolutely amazing in every way. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I think this has the potential to be her best song ever. Also, just my opinion: it's okay if people don't like the song, but if you can't at least recognize how epic the arrangement is - especially compared to the other songs on the album - then you shouldn't be listening to music.

The only thing I don't like is how it ends - cut off like monochrome. I thought it was my wireless at first. But that gives it a charm somehow too...

The Why remix isn't bad either. It made the original tolerable for me.

Amazing, beautiful and flawless. I just wish she had saved it for a full album...imagine it as an opening on the same scale as I Am... or Duty.

Soothing, mythic, refreshing, flawless, powerful.

Among the best songs she's ever had, top 10 best songs I dare to say.


I'm not even overreacting, this song is just... something I always wanted from ayu.




It makes me think of rurutia, so. much.

SHE NEEDS TO GRAB THIS GUY AND MAKE HIM COMPOSE ALL HER FUTURE SONGS, FROM NOW ON I JUST WANT HIM. I'M SERIOUS.

I love this song! It has a bit of "forgiveness" feeling, but it's much better. I love that she's trying something new.

I'm a bit dissappointed of a hidden track, but I don't care that much, since BRILLANTE is truly beautiful.

*******it...I would buy it in a heartbeat if she just have a recut single of it

I don't want the other songs on FIVE! This song alone makes up the album for me! I can just leave on this song...! BAH! I am so close to buying this album just for this masterpiece alone!

Hm, the music and the chant in the background is nice, but overall it's pretty boring imo.
I will probably be shot for this, but Ayu singing in it totally destroys the nice beginning for me actually. XD
For me it lacks some climax.

For me the climax is all the way through lol I know I make no sense, but that's what I feel, from the very start to the very end, I get goosebumps and all...

Ok, I haven't finished to listening to it, but I can already say that song is *******ing good!
That is how you make music! I can't believe that BRILLANTE and ANother song are from the same artist really... and on the same album!
It's fresh, very well produced, interesting, amazing arrangements, amazing vocals etc... and it's EPIC! I'm glad I'm not buying this album for collection purposes only.

Yep, sums it up pretty well.

Though I also don't like the ending being cut off either, or the sudden piano notes in the middle.

Also, the chanting towards the end reminds me of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I don't know why.

Can not say anything. It's beyond any words in this world!
