beloved - thoughts / opinions

[adantatu2]

I love her voice, but the song is quite boring, this is going to be another Sweet Season for me

maybe i will love the orchestra version

[Yarumi]

first thought is that it is a decent ballad... so far I like progress better... her ballads grow on me...

Thanks for always being so inspirational Ayu!

The orchestral mix will better suit this ballad melody. I like the original mix, however. It is generic but enjoyable none the less.

[emi♡]

The song is pleasant, and it's nice.

I still have problems with her melodies, but, what can you do.

I could REALLY do without this background arrangement though. Her songs need some mix up. And she always has the same drums and same guitars coming in...and idk, need some variety...so tired of the same mix that always happens for every type of song.

As much problem as I have with the melody, I think it can carry the song, since the arrangement does nothing. I definitely agree that this song would be incredibly gorgeous if it was more simple.

In fact, I would even add this song to my acapella song list. Not a song I'd ever listen to on my own, but I think live it could be great.

It's so beautiful...I love the arrangement and Ayu's voice. Makes me feel in peace and smile (・υ・)

[YUKARI]

I def love this song more than meaning of Love and Curtain call. I adore the way she sings and the lyrics... makes me feel peaceful too!

I wish there was an instrumental so I could sing it at karaoke-contests and etc.

I think it sounds like Seiko Matsuda. hahaha not in a bad way, but it's very Seiko-ish.

But I like it. I want to see the video~

[Kirshwasser]

been replaying beloved 30 times already, so addicted to it, feel so peaceful whenever i listen to this song, especially with earphones on

[miki_beland]

hope you like it

[ayu_ready?]

too boring, nothing special. don't like it.

[yoshino]

I like it!! To me it's a typical Ayu ballad song. <3

[Yumi(e)]

Her voice sounds amazing and lovely, but the melody... well, don't like it, I think it is very "flat", lineal.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

omaigawd... you guys' comments are torturing me...
just wait a little longer..

[inspire_rmx]

i love it!!! teared when listenin to the song. love the arrangement. esp her voice. not her best ballad but definitely it's the Ayu ballad standard i know ^^

[Mirrorcle Monster]

The ballad is amazing. It sounds different from her other ballads, is one of the most touching piano balllads she has. And the best vocals since 2005

[YUKARI]

^totally agree about the vocals!!!

[AyUmIXx]

i love Beloved.
her vocal is so light and soothing, it's not liked her previous ballad vocals which sound kinda heavier/rougher.
it's a decent ballad, like many of her Ballads, and i always love her Ballads.
i love her "ah ah ahh~~~~"

I can barely remember the melody cause it's just so boring and sounds like something I've heard already. If it wasn't for her vocals, then I wouldn't listen to this song at all.
I hope the orchestra version will be 100x better

This.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I think the song is boring. Really boring.

Doubt that there would be anything wrong with the lyrics - because if there is one artist with beautiful meanings behind a song then it must be Ayu - I say with honest that I listen to vocals, instrumental and melody. But the instrumental is so nothing, the melody makes me sleepy and her vocals aren't that good all the time. But that's what I hear in my ears. I understand if this song actually could be 'beloved' to anymore.. indeed if that one is a big fan of softy ballads.
