Jesus! I see it now!

I guess that's why I just loved the cover

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

FINALLY managed to pre-order this

Hope the booklet is amazing

[Tom Punks]

I had a dream FIVE came out and it was secretly a full album where half the songs were named after countries (like Morocco), one was called Cinderella, and three of them had Japanese titles. I was like "wtf is going on here " and rushed to upload it to AHS.

[Masamune]

[Aderianu]

^omg thank u!!

[asmAyumi1992]

Thanks for uploading beloved !

After listening to beloved, I have made my conclusion, beloved is a nice song could fit in Secret album that have Together When's essence in the song imo

[AyUmIXx]

i'm so loving "beloved"
it's really a very nice and touching ballad <3
love her vocal there as well.

[Chibi-Chan]

I'm trying to resist... >_<

[puddinx]

I love beloved. (*_*)
Her vocal is much much better in beloved than in progress imo.

[ayumisrael]

beloved is so beautiful!! Sounds like an Angela Aki kind of thing, I love it =D

It shapes up to be a great mini-album!

3 songs to go

I'm going to refrain from listening to the full version of "beloved" until I get my album, but I like what I'm reading in this thread.

[Tom Punks]

I'm not sure how I feel about beloved yet. It is really pretty and her voice sounds good, but like halfway through the song, I forgot it was even playing. XD The way it progresses kind of reminds me of Virgin Road.

[Maemi]

beloved starts so nice, and then it turns into one of the most boring Ayu's songs EVER.

[love in music]

her vocals are so strong in "beloved"! I wouldn't say it's really an epic ballad or anything, but it's very sweet and pretty and I love the piano intro. I'm kind of bothered at how cheap & generic the instrumental sounds though. I think her voice really saves the song from being like a bland meaning of Love or something. I'm more looking forward to the orchestra version now

^I'm glad to hear her vocals are sounding better than in "progress," but the "cheap & generic" instrumentation is troubling. D: Ayu's consistently awesome arrangements is one of the main reasons I still love her music.

Yeah, which is why I'm looking forward to the orchestra version. Don't know why she picked this song as there's nothing so special about it imo, kinda like Days, Sunset, Sweet Season & meaning of Love though like I previously said this one is a bit better to me since I really like her vocals.

[!Lawi!]

Wow it's really unexpected, isn't early ?

I guess it's normal, she probably had'nt had her vocal training when she recorded progress ! (though I'm not sure of when she recorded beloved...)

[Benikari47]

I'm getting so excited for the album, Progress is one of the most epic Ayu songs i've heard in a long time and Beloved is so sweet.
