Anyone smell a top ten single on the yearly charts from this song?!
There is no way she could sell more than 374,449 before 2008's oricon year finishes.

I thought that the 2008 ORICON year was over before the Days/GREEN release date?

oh well there you go my mistake. But even so, I doubt she could enter the top 10 year charts even for next year.

I haven't listened to any previews at all! Except from the Panasonic ad which I only listened to once. The song isn't so bad. I like the oriental feel mixed with the rock edge. The song is really unique and there's definitely no other Ayu song that sounds like it. Like most, I agree that the instrumentals are simply wonderful. I like the la-la-las near the end. I've been really hating her la-la-las lately (Oh God, MW! *dies*) so that's good!

Personally, GREEN doesn't really has much playcount value to me. I also don't like the way she sings the song. Not sure why. But overall, it's an okay song.

I don't think the string music sounds like Chinese but more like Japanese . To me . . . they sounds like Japanese traditional harp .

OMFG THE ARRANGEMENT. Maybe I'm just such as sucker for oriental with pop/rock, but the arrangement is brilliant.

I actually quite like her vocals in this. Granted, I did think she overdid the vibrato in certain parts, but overall the vocals blend in well arrangement.

At first I thought it was quite boring, then I heard the chorus and it became a little catchy! I like the arrangement though, very much! Not my favorite song by her, but it is really good. Looking forward to the single!

I regret listening to the previews so much really..but YES the song is brilliant for me.
The whole arrangement is amazing..tasuku really rocked it this time as welll

and i like that climatic moment at the end and that heart-wrenching ending...she came in one beat later...so it's as if, u were expecting her to sing on that beat but she didnt..and it just catches me off haha..

great work...Days ought to be better since its the first A-SIDE officially..hehe

The CM preview doesn't do the song justice. The preview makes it sound so much more boring and bland than it really is. The full song sounds so much better. I love her vocals and the arrangement of the song; this is much better than what I was expecting.

The arrangement is fantastic! I really really like the song. It's like one of those impressive LIVE concert instrumentals turned into a song! The blend of oriental elements and strings is very very nicely done.

Well, at this point, I really can't stop listening to it. (As shown by my last.fm widget.)

I really like it..maybe even love it!

I have a feeling that I wouldn't have liked it so much if I had listened to all the previews. Now I'm glad I waited, cause I feel like I've been blown away.

It's fantastic.... wow, I haven't heard such an amazing and original song from her in YEARS. She was able to pull off a new sound yet again. I was getting really worried because the last couple years a lot of her songs have been sounding too similar to each other with very little originality. I've been completely impressed with all of the singles she's released since Talkin' 2 Myself.

I can't wait to hear Days. <3 I hope it's original sounding like this one. Especially since it was like God came down from heaven or whatever Ayu said XD

Who composed this? Whoever it is did a great job, and the arrangement is probably in the top 5 out of all of Ayu's songs. tasuku is an excellent arranger... I'll always stand by that!

it's so unique! it's a genuinely good song

the emotion makes up for the chorus which isn't so catchy to me,
but don't get it me wrong i can sing to it forever... but when it first came on the commercial i had to give it a few listens for it to stick!

this new album looks to be so.... UNIQUE AND INTERESTING
so far we have

Mirrorcle World - rock/army beat w/e genre that is
Life - your everyday laid back song that sounds like all her ending sweet happy songs lol if you know what i mean
GREEN - asian power song or w/e you want to call it
and Days... the mysterious amazing song
COOLIO
