It was nice. Typical...

I was surprised by how much Ayu's vocals overpower his, not a lot...but, I definitely noticed him a lot less than her lol

It was kinda overall pretty boring for me. Maybe the lyrics are great, idk...but I don't really have any desire to listen to it again, except maybe once with a translation.

I'm really tired of these arrangements...but I figure, they think, this is like "the ayu sound".

I think it was 'nice' too. Maybe a bit more than that. I'll listen to it a few times, probably forget about it and then listen to it some more in a year or two. It feels like one of those songs. I actually did really enjoy the melody, but something is just lacking to give it that "wow" factor.

I enjoyed her vocals too, a lot. Her voice seemed different in some way, like she was using a different technique almost. Nice little, slight vibrato and softness in her voice!

When FIVE was first announced, I didn't mind that much that two songs featured other artists. It was a bit annoying but I'd live. But after hearing how amazing Why... is, I wish SO DAMN HARD it was a solo song. Hopefully solo versions appear as a bonus track on her next single.

I don't think its horrible, Its not my favorite that I've heard from the mini-album but its not horribly boring. Its soothing, yet (like some have said) typical.

I thought it was alright, but it didn't catch my attention like some of her other songs. I did like her vocals though, it was different.

Eh it was ok. I think it would have been nice as a solo song too since she overpowers him a lot~

It was okay, it's a bit bland. I'll probably never listen to it again.

I've been resisting listening to these LQ rips, but after reading opinions on this and beloved, hopes aren't as high as they were before. =/

you spelled out my exact thoughts about this song!! ayu's vocal overpowered Juno's imo and the song sounds like a typical duet, nothing exciting. but perhaps this is due to the nature of the lyrics.

I'll listen to this maybe a few more times than Beloved (which I've only listened to twice so far), but so far I'm kind of dissappointed. I think I like her heavy rock tracks more, so so far the only track I like is Progress.

I like the lyrics and ayu and Juno's voices in the song, but the song itself is not very special for me. I'd love to see their performances on TV though.

I love it! Their voices & the chorus are amazing. I actually haven't been this addicted to an ayu ballad in a long time. This already has close to 100 plays from me just today. I love it so much.

Better than I expected.

Not sure how I feel about the song yet. It's definitely far from great, but it's not bad.
