Melody is great!

[truehappiness]

I remember being kind of lukewarm about it when it came out originally, but holy crap, I am falling back into love with Melody. It's probably one of the strongest tracks on LOVE again. Is it just me though? I feel like I tend to like tracks that have not much a fanbase, haha.

[terra]

I also love Melody. It's kinda warm and bittersweet, but the music reminds me of her usual album track like meaning of Love and such nonetheless it's really sweet. I honestly love this more than Ivy lol

[Livey~]

Another fan of Melody here!
Since LOVE came out, I thought Melody was my favourite between the other songs.
And I haven't changed my mind.
Looking forward to a performance of it~

[Earth_maiden]

I've always loved Melody since LOVE came out.

[truehappiness]

I just love the 'classic' Ayu feel to the song. It feels like something she would have come out with around ASFXX/LOVEppears imo.

[Yoake]

^Yes, Melody is really Ayu classic.

Since the first listening when she sang it at HLS concert, I like it. It's really a sweet songs.

[Kouyou]

Melody was my favorite track on LOVE and is one of my favorites on LOVE again. I've always really liked it. It embodies the LOVE again feeling, in my opinion.

[kagami]

I love it too! It makes me feel all warm inside and her voice is so smooth and lovely <3

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I like Melody too! It has not really its best vocals, but it's such a sweet song!

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Indeed it is a great song. I feel like if LOVE again would have been released 5 years before: with 2008 budget, great PVs etc would have been considered amazing, because music-wise it is epic. I already imagine the era:

Digital Single: 「SAKURA」
Album: 「WAKE UP」
CD Tracklist:
1. Wake Me Up
2. Song 4 U
3. Bye-bye darling
4. Tell All
5. snowy kiss
6. glasses
7. Missing
8. Sweet Scar
9. petal
10. Ivy
11. task'n'bass
12. You & Me
13. SAKURA
14. Gloria
15. Melody

Tracks with PV
1. Wake me up
2. snowy kiss
3. Sweet Scar
4. petal
5. Melody

I wish more songs got PVs. Ayu doing an album where everything including interludes got PVs would be boss. (non-mini of course) Just once though.

Didn't she sing only a part of Song 4 u and Missing?
Or maybe she sang it another day? O_O

Urgh I wait for that day to come. I remember when Kuu even did Introduction to Kingdom PV and it was simple and gorgeous. I know maybe Ayu wants us to imagine song without PV by ourselves / by seeing lives but it'll be nicer to see her personal take on it

[jiarongisme]

Ahh yes. Ia with what truehappiness said about it sounding classic Ayu, that's exactly why I loved it from the start. It's kinda nostalgic, yet fresh at the same time. Kinda why I love beloved too.

A preview with the PV was played in the arena before the show started.

[Livey~]

^ Oh, I see.. I was dying!
I really really really hope that she will sing it soon~

[pimenta]

I really like Melody, and I absolutely adore the piano version of it

[YuriChan]

I adore Melody!

[marty]

YES, I thought I was the only fan of it in the whole world, cause everyone just crushed it when it was out! XD
I love it so much. It's so emotional and yet so basic and delicate, it's just a touch of a song! <3 Like Ayu is kind of collected and mature and composed, and yet so intense when she's singing it! For me Melody is more intense than Song 4 U: it's at the same level as Untitled for her... story 2.

[channy]

My play list of LOVE again on my MP3 device usually consists of only 14 tracks as I always exclude Melody. Apparently I dislike the refrain which, for the most part, sounds vastly tedious and long drawn-out to me.

Back then, I just wanted to make sure nothing would diminish the glorious joy I felt with that superb album. May grant it a second opportunity to amaze me, now that I read this thread, though.

haha same here, I was stanning for the song. I thought it was the best on the album while everyone else was going crazy for Missing, wich made me sad & alone that people dissliked it so much lol. I still really really adore it! surprisingly mainly for her vocals. it's totally my fave on the album. And it deffinitelly gave me the old Ayu feeling that i fell in love with years ago. ♥ It deserves to be sung live, i think it would make a really great closing song
