yup. exactly the same title, melody, arrangement...maybe lyrics too (translated of course). =) at least Ayu didn't copy it

[evolution105]

rreeaallyy.....hmm...no wonder i thought it sounded familiar... well, that kinda sucks. did she write her own lyrics for this song though. it is a covered song. just heard sweetbox's version.

Thanks for the info Rody. Pity it says server too busy

[freddiecheddar]

Yes, moving on ...

[Yukitora]

Bold & Delicious and Pride were covers too in a way. Ayu just released hers before Sweetbox.

[evolution105]

it's nothing bad, wasn't memorial address a cover of some other song? it's all good people.

edit: nvm memorial address not a cover. my bad. thanks ImpactBreaker

[ImpactBreaker]

^Memorial address wasn't a cover. It shared the same composition of "Kumo" because it was the same composer that made both songs.

In The Corner sounds like something Britney spears would put up, I wonder how ayu's version will sound like

i kinda hope ayu won't become an intersection of sweetbox though.

[IRIS_intense]

Basically..lemme change that..Anything from GEO sounds western!!..haha..Not that i don't like it..Thank God Ayu writes her own songs..I wonder where thid he get the idea for the melody of Bold&Delicious?..
MERRY CHRISTMAS minna!!^_^

[Tasked]

if a song used the same melody as another song and the original composer is credited (so it's NOT stolen, it's just used with crediting and permission), it's a cover.. So ayu's covers are:
Memorial address, sotsugyo sashin, in the the corner.... unless I left 1 out..

anyway don't bash it. this is NOT a bashing thread. a coversong is NOT a stolen song!!!!!

[Raleigh]

Well Ayu covered Sotsugyou shashin in A Ballads and it was excellent so I'm sure In the Corner will be excellent.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

This the full song?

[elepop]

That's cool! The preview sounds super great.

[HanabiChick]

That's probably why it didn't sound to me like it suited Ayu. I agree with ImpactBreaker about Ayu not becoming an intersection - this is just not something that's working for her.

[Kikaru]

interesting...this is why that song sounds like it didn't really suit Ayu...

Ayu's really taking a liking to Sweetbox, isn't she?

[blitzball]

geo from sweetbox composed quite good songs. I think hamasaki-san like this kind of music very much.

[Marseille]

I like ayu's voice with this beat much better!!! how were b&D covers? I thought they were completley original.

It's interesting that Ayumi likes Sweetbox so much that (for the first time) she's using more than one of their compositions for one of her full original albums.

It's great that she's changing her pace but hopefully, this doesn't become a common thing.

[Coelacanth]

Why does she like SWEETBOX in particular? I've heard her songs and really, it's nothing so distinct. It sounds like unpopular American pop they play on Radio Disney.

Sweetbox is HUGE in Japan. They are actually played in Europe and America but only on the club circuit. If you haven't noticed, Japan loves Western music, and Ayumi is no exception.

[Ryoko]

What Ayu likes she likes. What someone hates someone else loves.

There are some songs that are not too distinct in my opinion, but Sweetbox also has a lot of nice songs.

I hope that Pride, B&D and In the Corner are the only Sweetbox composed songs on the album though (I prefer Kazuhito Kikuchi, DAI, CREA, CMJK, etc). Well have the credits been released for the songs yet? I wanna know who wrote what.
