beloved - thoughts / opinions

[bondingo]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's bad. It's just so unmemorable and the vocals are awful. Nothing about it stands out at all, and I love her ballads.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

However, I still have faith in the pv, even though it has kids in it (ewwwwwwww), the story might make me like the song more, who knows.

But her hair

[Oniisan]

I've listened it once. typical Ayu ballad if u ask me; so boring and time goes hell slowly when u listen to it.

[Diego-kun]

It's not bad but I think it will take some time to grow on me. As many of you have said it's quite boring and too forgettable...

[Violently Happy]

I don't really like it... It sounds sounds like it would be on Rock'n'Roll Circus, or Next Level. O_O
It will probably grow on me if I listen to it more though!

[AyumiBest]

I think it's okay. It could have been A LOT better in my opinion.

[Kazeyomi]

after few listenings I'm starting to like beloved.
BUT it's still a generic Ayu ballad for me, even if the vocals are strong and pretty impressive compared to Love songs ones.
I don't really think I'll replay beloved so much often as like I do with progress though.

[Kirshwasser]

im in love with it, especially the chorus, and the chorus after the bridge when she sings "sobani" with extended niiiiiiii leading to the last chorus is just so perfect !! it's breathtaking..

[panda♥]

i like the overall sound, but i got bored quickly, lol.

[Kanzaki]

I loved it up until the chorus. It was just not good at all
But it's a sweet, soothing melody, an ok ballad.

[zellyx]

I like it.
That being said, it reminds me of Meaning of Love. Which isn't bad... they are just typical downtempo ballads.

That's what I thought. It's enjoyable, but its not breath-taking. Not like progress.

[CherryMoon]

Its beautiful, a less standout out from progress, but i am not disappointed at all!

[alternarist]

i like it a lot!! it's nothing bombastic. just a simple and sincere song.

[MemorialAddress]

I think it's pretty boring, and the chorus is what really made me dislike it

[butterfly_ayu]

I listened to it several times now, and I LOVE it! her voice had improved so much (to me). I think this song will fit very nicely with the pv, I can't wait to see it.

[L1aRx]

I love this song. It reminds me of some movie scenario scene thing type-ishery. lol

Anyone else think this? I mean like, as an insert song for those parts in movies where everyone goes their separate ways. Not only that though, there can be plenty of other kinds of scenes that fit. Or like a train/bus scene or whatever, hahaha.

[truehappiness]

I love it... it sounds like it was made to give everyone love and hope~ Ayu's uplifting songs are so awesome... you can listen to them at any time for a quick pick me up.

[AyuGAME]

i love the interlude part!!! and overtune part!!!

[YUKARI]

I absolutely loved this song!
Thanks God, it's the first ayu song that I liked immediately since so long!

It touched me so much, I wanted to cry while listening. I'm sure the song will be amazing in a live version! Also it has a felling of summer ending, it will be perfect to listen in autumn... So lovely.

And ayu's vocals now really seem to be improved, sounds like 2004 CAROLS
