I think it would've sound even worse without it.

It sounds so much better though? i.e. NHK SONGS, AT15, a-nation.

I must be part of that very small group of people that actually like Step by step a lot. It's so uplifting, I love listening to it in the morning.

Step by step is just...safe. And therefore it's my least favorite on sixxxxxx. As an individual song it's fine though. But certainly not a stellar track haha.

Step by step is an ok track for me. I see it like this:

Voice: it's annoying just at the chorus
Pre-chorus: love it
Bridge/Outro: lovely
Chorus: meh, it's not bad, but it isn't great either
Arragement: nothing spetacular, but it's not as bad as Summer diary/Sky high's

Mine is:
1. Step by step
2. Summer diary / Shape of love (can't decide, both are perfect)
4. Sky high
5. Sorrows (despite the bad mixing, the potential is good)
6. Sayonara (I just can't seem to care about it...)

Team step by step unite! It's such a nice song
I love all first 4 though, and I can't wait for her to sing Sorrows live, I'm sure it's going to sound tons better.

I've already accepted that I usually seem to prefer the underrated songs haha

I finally got around to watching sixxxxxx's DVD...omg. The Step by step PV made me cry. I don't remember the last time I had that reaction to an Ayu video. :'(

It was cool getting to hear Ayu and Shuya's fight in the making of Summer diary...too bad you couldn't hear Ayu clearly at all. And I forgot how horrendous her ass antlers are until I saw her riding away on the jet ski lmfaoooo

Step by step is one of those kind of songs I need when I'm feeling really sad because when I hear those, I feel like my life isn't that shitty after all.

^ I personally like her tattoo and don't think it looks all that "bad" or anything
but I know not many people like those lower back tattoos anyway.

I don't know where to post this. It's off topic, but how come she doesn't do those kind of commercials anymore such as for “A BEST”, “Duty”, “I am...” and so on. Just rather than cropping out from music videos for “sixxxxxx” TV CM?
No wonder why her sales are dropping so much. *Sigh*

.............pretty sure her decline in sales isn't because she decided not to "film" commercials anymore for her releases..............
