Sunset Thoughts

So Guys,
what do you think? This might became one of her best ballads, don't you think?
Im not really a fan of Sunrise, but I would never have thought, that this song in slow version will became one of my most favourites. I hummed Sunrise in the tempo of Sunset to get the better point how the song will continue like, and I just cant wait for the full version.
Now we all can see why the title of the single is what it is. Im really impressed with it
Aaaa Im talking too much, but you know the euphory when you get something what surprised you very much and you just cant stop talkin about it :
& This is just my PERSONAL OPINION. Dont take it as a fact, I have the right being excited, no? (^_^)

I really like it. It's very beautiful, and I like the new sound of her recent ballads.

In the past:
"I am sad"

Now:
“We had a good time together, but that time has past, and I can never return to it. But I’m not depressed that it’s over, I’m just very happy that I had known you, loved you and spent time with you.”

Just my personal thoughts ^^

From the what ten second preview I heard, I really do love it! It actually brought tears to my eyes. I honestly didn't know what to expect, and so far, it's really beautiful.

And I know people were saying it's a mix of Days and Curtain call, but like someone here mentioned yesterday, it sounds a lot more like HEAVEN.

I think it sounds really good. her voice is very tender in the preview and even for a preview, I was really touched by the sound and her voice. Im glad Ayu's ballads sound happier as compared to her previous grave and moody ballads

I don't like it that much. If she was going to make a ballad version of Sunrise--then why even make it an Double A side? Even with new lyrics, for now, it's a dissapointment.

this ballad sounds really good. I was surprised that she could successfully turn a fast-paced pop song into a ballad!

It sounds really good but I don't like the fact that it is Sunrise ~ballad version~! I would have prefered two songs with different melodies...

People should really chill out lol you've only heard like less than 15 seconds of the song and some already claim it might be her best ballad ever. Her ballads are hard to top, however it's still too early to tell if this is AN OMG AMAZING SONG or not.

So yeah, it makes my heart melt.

Sounds very HAL. The connection of ~Sunrise/set~ ~LOVE is ALL~ should've been a hint to the two songs having the same melody, haha.

Is it just me or Sunset is really just a ballad version of Sunrise?
Because i heard the same lyrics for both songs from the CM..or maybe its just the reffrain that similar..

^The lyrics are different just some words are same and she used words the sound alike but have different meanings.

Because the lyrical idea is different it can't be the ballad version of Sunrise since lyrics are the most important part of a song (the music isn't necessary to be a song itself) but the lyrics are song/poems. That's why it's not a ballad version of any song, it just has the same composition and some use of words of Sunrise so it's a different song with just the same composition. If the lyrics were exactly the same then yeah it would be the ballad version of Sunrise.

From the preview it sounds really pretty.
