IMO, the greatest aspects of this song isn't the melody; it's the genius arrangement, and her strong vocals.

This. If it weren't for the awesome heavy guitar and epic organs, I wouldn't like it even half as much. The actual melody isn't anything amazing; it's nothing real catchy or creative. But everything else about the song is near genius, hah. So it makes up for it, I think.
Like, this is one of those songs that I'll get the urge to listen to, and I'll just sit in wonder at the wonderful instruments used and such, and I'll enjoy just listening to her vocals (which are really good). I'll love it and love to listen to it because it's so different sounding, and because it has such an awesome feel (and probably because it has one of the best PVs in her discography, hah :O). But it won't be something I have on repeat for hours straight, because the actual song isn't mind-blowing.

20 year old hikikomori are not the consensus for the whole of her Japanese fans you know ( ).

2ch are the people who give us the concert setlists as soon as they are performed usually, be grateful!

Way to generalize the Japanese people on 2ch. That'd be like saying that everyone on 4chan = 12 year old boys who don't know wtf they're doing on the internet, but then again that's probably more like /b/ rather than 4chan as a whole.

There are hikikomori on 2ch a la Densha Otoko, but why does that matter? Does their opinion not matter because they're like that? There's also a gaysaloon thread for Ayu that regularly has news, does the users' being "gay Japanese hikikomori" make their opinion not count? 2ch is a pretty weird place, but under all the trolling and gross ASCII images, there's some good people there.

Sorry buddy but that pretty much is the status of 2ch-ers. I'm assuming you do know the status of that place and how most Japanese people view it as and who is typically assumed to be on it.

I was just pointing out that the fact that 2ch likes it doesn't mean JAPAN likes it ( s ). Doesn't mean their opinion doesn't count, it just means it's quite the niche that won't determine something like song popularity.

And I'm sure you also know that 3/4 of 2ch is about rape pornography, lolicon, and overall creepy-ass crap.

maybe truehappiness felt offended by your comment XD since he spends most of his time updating us on ayus activities, he might be a hikkikomori!!

I really like the melody. The way her voice is soft in the verses and then speeds up and BOOM! in the chorus is really dynamic and catchy I think.

The arrangement is freakin' cool though. Love it.
