Thoughts on 'HAPPY ENDING'...

I must say the full version sounds alot better than the preview... I think this track really stands out. I love the percussion, and Ayu vocals sound really good. I'm impressed...

My favorite non-single track from MY STORY so far. It's so relaxing and beautiful, it flows really nicely. I've mentioned that in other tracks before but I think her voice has gotten cleaner. HAPPY ENDING was my second surprise because I thought this song would be one of the least interesting because of those 30 sec bad quality previews I listened to.

I like it. The percussion is nice, and I love the violins in the background. Everything seems to work well together and no distinct element is overbearing. Her voice sounds pretty nice on this track too, especially compared to how it sounds on other tracks. I like the guitars at towards the end. Nice song, especially for a slower one.

I think this song stands out too, it's nice, especially the melody in the chorus. And it flows, can't wait to hear the CD Version of this one. =)

really? liar and happy ending were my favorite previews. it suprised me how i was the only one that liked the preview that much. the song is awesome, not at all dissapointed. this is my favorite released from "my story" so far, including singles. following close behind is moments.

I think it was the cheesy title that didn't catch my interest for the preview. Of course when listening to a full track I don't really let titles and other simplest things to get in the way of my opinion of the song.

I'm looking forward to hearing 'Winding road' too, it's the first one that got my attention from the preview. Even if the same line repeats 3 times in the 30 second sample. o_O'

I completely agree with this. I've hear some people say how bad Ayu's voice sounds on this album, but I think he voice just keeps getting better with every release.

I'm really liking Happy Ending. The music sounds so beautiful. It's simply a relaxing saong. It reminds me of SEASONS for some reason... I love the acoustic guitar.

It's alright. I don't like it as much as "Walking Proud." And she really needs to cut out with the grating "iiiiiiiiiiiiii" that she's been doing since "No Way To Say." It fit that song, but it's too much now.

I'm not the only one who noticed the 'iii~~~~~' from No way to say. =P

Somehow it's gotten less grating with more listens...it really stood out when I first heard the 30 sec preview.
