Whats so special with WONDERLAND?

Do you guys like it because AYu composed it, or becase its just cool? After listening to it some times now, it sounds more like they just placed ayu at the mixing-table, and she just messed around with sound effects etc... Kinda noisy too... I dunno, i just find it boring, sounds like something you could do in a music project in school or something. I know this is her first song, but couldnt she done it more.... nicely, and not just some effects added together?

... This isn't the first song Ayu's written if that's what you mean. She's been writting songs since the release of "M", which was her first.

And personally, I think "Wonderland" is terrifying.

wonderland may not be a great song, but it sure is an original interlude. There's nothing like it, it so different from any other tracks. that's what makes it so special to me...

I personally like it quite a bit. Not because Ayu made it, and i don't find it scary like everyone else. I actually think it's really cool how Ayu is expressing a darker side to herself with this interlude. I bet if she continues, by next year she'll have songs even DeG fans will find hard to take

But yeh, i like it ^_^

I find it scary because clowns and carnnivals terrify me to no end.

Wonderland is the epitome of terrifying. It's demonic. I don't like it in the slighest, &I usually like what Hamasaki-san composes herself.

"WONDERLAND" isn't nothing special. I heard very similar instrumental tracks not once, but I think as an interlude "WONDERLAND" great fit to another album track that mean "Liar"...

Though not a very original song (the thematic of circus and creepy things have been referred in several movies and books), it's kinda original for the context of an album, specially since the interlude is kinda changing moods for the next song "Liar". It's not fair to look at an interlude and just judge it alone with no context, the interludes are dropped in the album for an obvious reason and they're not the kind of song you'll be enjoying them by themselves only.

This song isn't that intersting..and it sounds like a song for a little kid..not too much enjoyable..I like Catcher in the Light better, at least it as some vocals in it.

Nothing's special about it, really. It's pretty good, but the creepy laughing totally ruins it in my humble opinion..
