I still don't see how anyone can think Days>GREEN too lol. Like, what is so interesting about Days that makes it better than GREEN? It's certainly not the arrangement or vocals which are just so typical for a J-pop ballad and kind of bland. I'll admit it is great for a christmas song, but other than that I'd pretty much rather listen to any of her other ballads than Days, especially GREEN.

MOON is just so much more interesting to me than Days too. I think her vocals are a lot better in MOON and the arrangement keeps me interested and want to keep listening to it, when I listen to Days there's nothing in the song that I look forward to hearing.. it's just pretty much bland the whole way through.

While the only thing that makes Days sound Christmasy is the arrangement, the song had somewhat beautiful one-sided-love lyrics and apparently many people could relate to it. Imo there is nothing extra-ordinary about it, but I guess it's different for people who can relate to it.

Yeah I guess that's it, the lyrics are pretty sweet. I like the GREEN lyrics more though and think they're better too lol.

That is why I love it, I hated it at the time it was released because it reminded me of something in my love life going on at that time.

Now that I've gotten over that I love Days a lot. It's not the best song ever or anything but it's sweet and has memories attached to it for me. I like MOON too but I haven't really found a way I can totally relate to it yet. I just need to give it time, but the song is so good as it is.

Days is a sweet song. Very easy going and cute. GREEN may have a more complex arrangement and be more "interesting." But sometimes people just want chill music and not all that grandiose complicated mess. Not saying I don't love GREEN, but between the two, I pick Days. <3 But as far as which is the better song, that's up to the listener.

Yeah, I'm more of a sucker for the emotional/interesting ballads, not the sweet ones.. though I do like sweet/simple ballads too. I'm one of the few fans who like Curtain call, Sunset, and Close to you
