My interest in Ayu has just shot back up to a high mark
I was starting to slip off the ayu bandwagon ever so slightly but then BAM we get this beautifulnbess that is Song 4 u
I'm not feeling Missing but the PV sure is lovely

^Yes, me too. I was afraid, really afraid that I might loose interest in anything she does, but I think it was just a phase, I like her new stuff. Well done Ayu. I really look forward to this now. But I wonder why there are only pawns and queens. Where is the rest of the cast?

The PVs are nice, I don't really love the songs unfortunately.


I translated the first 4 stanza's of Missing's lyrics, if anyone's interested:
Quote:
Though I was able to speak honestly back then
And say "I miss you" when I missed you
And say "I'm lonely" when I was lonely...

When I start to lose my trust in you
You also lose your trust in me

When I stop understanding you
You also stop understanding me, don't you?

I simply continue moving forward, straight ahead, no matter how often I get hurt
No matter how many times I'll be rejected; there's no going back

I really like the Song 4 u PV so far.

To be honest, the Missing PV does nothing for me so far.
I think that Melody would have suited that atmosphere more.
I think Missing would have suited something similar to rainy day, or momentum's PV more so.

Still, they have both totally exceeded by expectations so far.

Neither PV really looks that impressive. They are pretty looking, but don't seem to have much going on. At least Song for U has somewhat of an interesting concept though.

These look orgastastic. I hope for the life of me they will build up into kickass climaxes.

Loving the concept so far for song 4 u. The song is great too. Wonder how it will end.

Missing sounds like a mash up of ballad, momentum and voyage. While its a nice track, it just feels like she's done this kind of song so many times. Hopefully the PV builds up in its 2nd half as well.

To be fair though, those were 2009, 2006, and 2002 respectively. It's not like she's had one every year, right?

I guess there's a slight difference in the somewhat electronic-sounding production in the chorus. But is it so hard for her to choose a more interesting composition? The composer is Kazuhiro Hara, he's done far better tracks than this.

It's interesting to see the contrast in the picture Ryan posted and how the actual video presents it haha. The weather was so nice that day

Missing sounds very refreshing imo, song 4 u sounds a million times more generic, talking about ayu.

True, song 4 u draws from progress, mirrorcle world, but i'm a sucker for her epic-rock-and-strings tracks. Missing is far more generic sounding to me.

I just hope she makes more stuff like what was on Love songs for this 15th anniversary celebration - nostalgic, but still refreshing and current. That is the kind of music she needs to be making now.

To be fair, I believe this chess thing has been done by MANY people before even McQueen, haha.

It's done well though imo.

What was the first time she used something from the fashion industry? DOSQA and Why...?
