I was just going to post the same thing, I can't agree more. Although I hated Close to You, this sounds much better. It's a nice, mid-tempo ballad, perfect for the holidays.

I think it's taken out of context and judging it right know isn't that fair. Sure, it's not her best ballad, judged from what I've heard (a LQ leak), but it's ''the whole package'' that counts, right? When I heard GREEN for the first time I thought it was quite bland too, but I'm addidcted know So I guess we'll have to wait and see

I just cannot believe how excited I am for this song now! This is what I have been wanting and wishing for each winter that rolls around... and finally it is here! I just don't understand how everyone can't help but fall in love with this song. Yeah, everyone has different opinions, but this is just so amazing. It's gonna be agony waiting for the entire song to leak... let alone in HQ. Lol.

Uhm..

Days sounds strange, cute but strange and too generic. Seems a mix with Together When... and Life.

I don't know if I like or dislike it :/

So... I'll wait the full song for judgin' XD I'm tired of those previews

LOL jbrat, I dont' wanna listen to any more previews after this either XD I MUST control myself!

My first impression is naturally that it was quite generic.... but at the same time, different for ayu, you know?

It sounds like a christmas ballad from like 2001-2004, by any artist OTHER than ayu, if that makes any sense. XD

I'm not saying ayu's out of ideas though - on the contrary, the song makes me incredibly happy XD!! I'm very nostalgic for that particular era in my life, and ayu contributing to that is awesome to me.

Kinda like how Mika's new song "ORION" sounds like a throwback to her first two albums - I LOVE that.

IMO, it's still too early to tell. I;ll wait until the full version comes out. But I don;t feel anything from the preview

Ok after 2 listens, I must say it's quite catchy for a ballad. o_o

Kimi ga iruuu~

Catchier than most of her winter ballads, for me, like HEAVEN, Together When and No way to say.

Gotta say CAROLS is still the catchiest though.. Shiroiiiiiii XD

I agree with you Del LOL this is the only preview I'm gonna listen this time ^^

By the time I heard the full GREEN version I was like "oh yea, I know this part" and "oh right now comes this part" XD

Lol Yeah those ballads are catchy as hell!

Btw... doesn't the song actually contradict the photos we've seen for the PV? I mean what's with the 80's get up and motorcycles for a winter ballad??? I think the PV will be more of the highlight than the song lol.

Maybe Ayu's in love with a motor rider who doesn't love her, and there will be winter effects? lol XD

Ugh... CAROLS *Shiver*
I've never listened to the full song. I despise it! LOL


Still really like GREEN, but well, disappointed with Days. Boring. The PV screencaps, I thought it would be more upbeat (The streetwear theme and all).

The preview does sound a bit generic...but I get a warm feeling from it and her voice sounds better than GREEN. This time I'm not gonna listen to anymore previews...just gonna wait for the full song.

Days is way too much like momentum in my opinion.. Aw... ... I never liked momentum too much... For this double A-side, I guess I like GREEN more... for now.
