^ I'm sorry that you had a bad day. But its just funny that you want to limit the Namie this and that, but then kind of contributed to it. I hope you have a better day tomorrow!

I just wanted to say that people started bringing her up a lot during the past few weeks, that's all (I really have nothing against her). Thanks~I sure hope I will.

Since when did Ayu singing loudly = screaming? The chorus of You were... doesn't sound like Ayu yelling B&G in concert at all, you know, haha.
I actually think the ending vibrato is better than her usual ending vibratos lol, if you get what I mean. She's not doing it as harshly as usual, which I find refreshing. I love the HQ version, and I cannot wait to hear it in full. The PV is going to be great, I just know it!

After listening to it after a couple of times... I really like it. The refren is very nice, and when I heard it for the first time I wasn't impressed at all and I even thought that I might not like it. Even though this isn't the whole HQ song, it's enough for me to judge it.

The only and weird I don't like - Ayu's voice. To me seems like she's straining and it's frustrating. The music is very beautiful, even though it's nothing new from her discography.

She's not screaming. I actually really like her vocals here! I like the song much more now that I can hear it clearly. ^.^ The chorus has grown on me extremely--I love it!! Verses still need a little more time on me, though. Overall, yeah, it is her best ballade in a while, but I still don't think it can touch Dearest.

Yes, it's quite the universal question, isn't it?
It actually sounded better to me in LQ than HQ... I just couldn't get any emotion from the song, it has become a bit flat to me. But then again, I'm not feeling too well right now so my opinion may change when I feel better.
And c'mon guys, this is AHS! The forum where we go off-topic, discuss and argue constantly, I don't complain over getting different people's views all the time despite them being different from mine. I actually like that about this forum, it always keeps things so interesting (as long as it doesn't go out of line, of course)
I hope I'll wake up to a full song leak of the song(s) tomorrow. Wishful thinking, but tomorrow's such a good day, I'm free from school then!

ugh yes I dread to see her do that live


I like this so much more than Days (not nearly as good as Together When... though ), it is pretty generic but at least it's not horrible.

Thank you so much Luna !
Better in HQ, I'll definitely love it ! Better than Curtain call and Days (I'm not a fan of them). The song in itself is not really original, but it certainly has its own feeling. I'm looking forward to listening to the full song !

Normally I'd be all over a new leak, but I feel like waiting for the full single to come out before seeing/hearing anything. thanks for the rip though.

It's hard to do something too new with a ballade, though. Especially just a regular winter pop ballade. :\ Ballades are just kinda boring in general, lol.

this isn't the complete song right?some part is like being cut off.
But the song is ok.sad song.but the chorus melody there is repeated for at least 3 times.which makes it quite boring,IMO.
but overall is a nice song

after hearing You were... few times. im getting bored with that. I expected Epic ballad like Dearest HEAVEN or forgiveness.
this is kind of NWTS rock ballad. but 1 thing I like is her voice getting better and better.
this song is hard to sing
