I'll have a go, those are from "Remember you"


Has anyone noticed the marketing they've started doing for "Remember you" on ayu's official Facebook?
A post a day

The TeamAyu/mu-mo edition photobook had three haute couture outfits created just for it.

I’m not sure, because the three lyrics parts seems all from ‘Just the way you are’. The theme is the same: stay as you are, don’t change, you are perfect just the way you are.

This would be the only song quoted more than one day but I remember someone saying (a couple page back in this thread) that a reliable insider leaked the release of “just the way you are” on 18th of January.

[munckei]

You could be right

Wonder if that 'planned release' is actually legit.
I'd have to restrict myself from listening to another song, already caved in with '(NOT) Remember you', I can't with another, haha

I will be really upset if it's not

[CeReSu]

Ayu will drop something on youtube at midnight, japan time

[koumori]

Just the way you are is confirmed to be dropping as another pre-release album track at midnight, January 18th. It'll be available on streaming platforms based on your own timezone.
Credit to junshen for commenting about this at the discord, as it's now available for those in the NZ timezone.

I'm really curious about this! It seems to be a collaboration with Yurie Kumamoto, who is part of the comedy duo Benishoga. It might be along the lines of a comedy skit in that case.

Just the way you are
Released on GMT +12

[munckei]

I'll have to restrict myself from listening to it at midnight (hour and a half away for me) up until when I get my hands on the album.

I look forward to reading your reviews about it though.
Don't know how many of you will refrain from listening to it like me, haha.

[koumori]

I'm going to be avoiding it until the album releases as well. I want to make the first full run as special as possible!

Can listen to Just the way you are here.

Spoiler:

It's a pretty safe song. I like it though. Nothing like it in her discography. Good arrangement!

This link should work at midnight for anyone in the 18th!

The song is serving power ballad.
Also I also love the key of her voice on here, reminds me of Breakdown.

[CeReSu]

Nothing new but I like it ! I like the way the song is going crescendo in power !
I imagine very well this song at the end of a concert like My all and Co !

[Sky High]

Yeah, nothing new, it is a sweet downtempo ballad.

[Aokani]

The song is ok, might be lovely live.

[kyo_arayuru]

LOL!!! it's not a rockish ballad!

OK song, very different from her other ballad song, I think the closest will be Hello new me. in terms of the arrangement. I love the arrangement, more like a band song. The key is very low which works for her current vocal condition.

The budget for her promotion stuff is getting lower and lower though. Sorry to say that the promotional clip is so cheap. Kudos to the talent, she did an amazing job, and she gave her all, but still, the quality of the clip is very low for Ayu's standard.

[AyumiAi]

This video could have been better made by University students in the film club �� ayu what’s happening

[freedreamer]

I love her vocal tone in the verses!! The key is great for her voice

[M.A.X.]

The song is lovely and very mature but this promotional clip is sooo cheap.
I’ll pretend this video doesn’t exist.
