I hoped Ayu would never touch this genre and I am kinda sad she did. The song is pretty terrible, generic and sounds like so many other songs out there. The bg music is the only good thing about it. Let's just hope they never make another song together as the guy is bringing out the worst in her. I am starting to despise him as well.

I seriously don't think that ANother song is as bad as everybody is making it out to be. That maybe just me, though... :\ It's a refreshing step up from "Dream ON" (and I like it).

[Kanzaki]

It seriously just sounds like it's been made overnight in Fruitloops .
I don't have a problem with the melody, but it's so forgettable. And it sounds like it just needs so much more work.
Their voices...I actually think Ayu's voice was nowhere near as good as Urata's. I don't really like his technique, but his voice is clear and he doesn't sound strained. Sounds almost like they decided to have some fun and play around mixing songs and they smacked this, half-finished track on FIVE.

It's sad, because I really believe that this song had some potential, but it just...Idk. It's not good

@qwerty: I think that's true. I definitely remember the fuss over B&D and mu.But I think at the end of the day, you can compare those songs to this song...and this is really just a whole other ball park.

I mean, GEO's songs were very not Ayu, obviously, but I think they still had this sort of "genre-less" quality, where she was taking influences from many different places and thinking about how they could fit into the pop songs...and making songs that were still unique somehow.

This is really, a one track song. And it's something I'd expect from you know, I wouldn't even say hiromi, but, just a random, indie, new, under-experienced R&B person who's just made their debut.

Because it has that good melody in the back, and it can be really catchy, and we in the R&B world will see songs like this a lot...but it really is so simple and basic and there's issues like Tom Punks said with the different tracks, and there's not even that many to begin with, so how they had issues...idk...

And I think for someone like Ayu to make this kind of basic song, is very different from her just making something that doesn't sound like what she normally does.

I'm not gonna hate on the song all day, but I think I can definitely understand if Ayu fans are mad, not disappointed...lol mad.


And I can't wait to see what she has to say about these songs lol I hope she can convince people...because as much as I'm usually on the negative side with Ayu's releases, somehow it means a lot that I'm usually in the minority...um I don't think I like that this is just that bad, that everyone dislikes it.

but...like I say, As long as you're happy Ayu. As long as you're happy.

But ayu is trying to somehow get into R&B with this song right?? So she is new to the genre anyway lol

[YUKARI]

this song made me feel like she wants to steal fans from Namie!

True~ I don't know why she couldn't go down to Rhythm Zone or something and get some help though lol

Guess it's not that bad then...we can just, forget she ever made anything else, and we're starting anew.

[Kanzaki]

Ayu needs to bring Hikki back to making music, they'd both benefit from it.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I just like how she introduces new genres into her music/works and develops them in a really awesome way (rock for example, became one of her best genres), so why not R&B??? I guess we'll have to wait and see lol

And oh yeah, I'm a 100% sure Urata had a huge influence in ayu taking this direction, I bet he was like, "omg but this beat is so good!! We should try it!!!", and ayu was like, "Yeah!! You're sooo right!!"

[brener]

btw i like the piano(?) introduction...

[LEOyumi]

Lovely song, very emotional. And I love Naoya's voice, they sound good together.
It's not as good as WHY... but def. better than progress and beloved.

[Linza-mo]

I don't like it at all, very boring, too old school, a typical japanese "RnB" Ballad, WHY AYU ?

Well I think for me...and getting off topic here but whatever...I think R&B is not as versatile as rock is...I mean, with Rock, you can just, use the instruments to match whatever you want, and you can call it pop rock...

R&B is characterized so much differently. You have to know your beats and your rhythms. You have to know the influences and stuff like that, going back to the 60s, in order to truly make something innovative or unique...

but don't get me wrong, I love R&B, and I really love experimental R&B, so if she can make this work for her, wow, that would be amazing...

but for me, one of the biggest problems I see, is how much her vocals clash for me with R&B music...maybe it's okay for other people...but when I listen to my R&B, I like me some good, strong, smooth vocals lol

BENI, Emi Hinouchi, hiromi, AILI, Thelma, etc...but yeah, I guess we'll just see.


I think it's interesting that most of her male collabos are R&B songs...Ayu is so funny.

[AyUmIXx]

got to listen to it, i like Dream ON better than ANother song though because it has more dynamic than this one, even though i like the music, the piano on the background..it's soothing..but i dislike the beginning~ oh it sounds like "a song is born" in the beginning, "soushite, soushite..." haha XDD
Naoya's vocal has never bothered me though..but this song... their vocals in the repeating chorus parts are not blend so well, Naoya's vocal is liked fade in fade out..lols..

but, it's still an ok song. it has very different feel from previous ayu's songs...and i like ayu trying new things..

[elvis810]

ANother song for me is just another song from ayu but it works as part of the album... and i agree ayu should step away from RnB.

[ExodusUK]

Even Bore ON is better than this.

[Material Boy]

If she wanted to do a "Nishino Kana-inspired" song, she could have done something better and ask Giorgio Cancemi to join her team.

[Shirlaay]

I agree, the instrumentation sounds kinda weird if you ask me.
Not such a good song either.

[yizhihenanjing]

this is just a leaked version, who knows the original one may sound better ? ^^ I like Why and progress, keep hope in brillante, so this album is still worth waiting, another song is just another song ^^
