Why they can't put previews in that way like on Kuu's and BoA's websites? =/ My computer usually gets crazy if it has to open music player from Internet.

Great, they don't work for me.

Microphone (THE LOWBROWS remix) -> I love how it sounds! My favorite from whole single so far!
Last Links (Orchestra version) -> the worst thing they have could ever done. It sounds terrible.
Don't look back (Reggae Disco Rockers remix) -> is very relaxing and refreshing, but reminds me TOO MUCH of some old song remix from re-release singles...
meaning of Love (Acoustic Piano version) -> I've never liked that song and I'm not going to like, so that version does nothing for me.

Thanks for posting!

The moL remix sounds incredibly beautiful, the Last Links one is very nice, too, but not as great as I expected it to be. I think both Microphone's and DLB's remixes are kinda weird

I just listened to the previews, and I have to say, there's nothing wrong with the instrumentals of Last Links and meaning of Love, the thing that is making them really weird or bad is her voice...

I really didn't like Last Links before because of her voice, but this time the orchestra version really emphasizes how bad her voice really is in that song... she is just yelling the song, and it is much too low for her voice.... Last Links really frustrates me because its a great song with great melody, but her voice ruined it...

Also I really loved meaning of Love in the album, but this one shows how her voice on that track was pure garbage... I'm sorry to say, it's really really disappointing... after I listened to this preview, I wondered if her voice actually always sounded like that, and I listened to Dearest Piano version, Moments Piano version, and MY STORY Classical...

They all sound wonderful, and the voice matches the instruments... this time, it really doesn't and it's disappointing... I really question how they could release a song with vocals like Last Links... like there are even flat points on the vocals...

I'm so disappointed about it... but I like the remixes of Don't Look Back and Microphone...

Really? I thought her voice was wonderful on that track! It reminded me of her voice from the MY STORY album, tbh.. I was surprised when we first got the song because I didn't think it was possible for her to sound that good singing a ballad anymore.

Because it's pretty subjective.
There is nothing wrong with ayu's vocals themselves, she just sing those songs in a lower pitch and you probably don't like it and that's fine.

It doesn't mean they shouldn't release it really. I love those vocals. They are pretty emotional for me. For me the most important thing that a singer's vocals should have it's emotion and I can get a lot of it from Last Links and especially meaning of Love (that's how meaning of Love could become my favorite ballad ever).

I haven't (and WILL NOT ) listen too the remix previews, but I actually liked her voice in Last Links. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's really powerful, and like ayumisrael said, emotional. I think it conveys the message of that song pretty well too.

Check the schedule - Ayu's too busy for next week's MS

Yeah, I don't get this - why is Ayu NOT going to be on MS next week? I thought she would be next week, but she's just too busy...

Wait - she's actually in Kobe during that time, and she's so busy for the tour, so unfortunately it might not be until as early as July 23rd that she might be open, as Ayu would be back in Tokyo during that time and the 24th and 25th (the last two in the Arena Tour dates, excluding the October dates) will be held at Yoyogi, so unfortunately because she's busy with her tour schedule, we'll just have to wait...

To re-iterate this, here's the schedule, and remember that TV Asahi's studios are in Tokyo, not Kobe:
Quote:
2010/7/17(土) 神戸ワールド記念ホール 13:00 17:30/18:30 4月4日(日) キョードーインフォメーション
06-7732-8888
2010/7/18(日) 神戸ワールド記念ホール 12:00 15:00/16:00 4月4日(日) キョードーインフォメーション
06-7732-8888

2010/7/24(土) 国立代々木競技場第一体育館 11:30 17:00/18:00 4月10日(土) キョードー東京
03-3498-9999
2010/7/25(日) 国立代々木競技場第一体育館 11:30 15:00/16:00 4月10日(土) キョードー東京
03-3498-9999

The ones in bold indicate the dates in conflict, and as Ayu usually travels a day before and a day after to provide some time, Ayu is unfortunately outside of Tokyo during July 16th...

I agree - so apparently now this single is quite really risky... And there is a chance that Arashi could over-run Ayu's sales, even though Arashi may be on their second week of sales, and that could break the streak and make the single #1 streak really impossible for any artist to reach, including Ayu, and it will stay on for Seiko Matsuda... Or am I really going to get ready to switch to new artists only because I'm getting tired of her not taking a break since 1998?

All we need to hope for is to cross our fingers, as apparently July is quite "dangerous" overall for music releases in Japan...

She's busy with the tour, it's not like she doesn't want to promote the single. As far as I know, Ayu can't be in two places at the same time.

Absolutely right - I think Ayu's fans will have to really go crazy on their sales, and maybe get some good sales for the first two or three days (get #1 for those days, at least), and with those she can still get #1...

And we have to stay in check with the Hexagon All-Stars, too - I'm quite concerned especially after the Shuchishin competition back from Mirrorcle World in April 2008... And that's on top of my concerns about Arashi's possible second week sales there...
