I can see this being a fierce concert opener. I wouldn't say it's my new favorite, but I appreciate what she was trying to do with this song. I feel like it's one of those songs that would do better with a strong visual component so I hope if there is a PV it's fantastic.

Better than I was expecting. I sort of assumed it would be a rockier Beautiful Fighters but there's some really interesting things going on. Not an instant favourite but it's a strong release. It should be a really good concert opener.

Thank you! That's exactly what I kept hearing but couldn't think of the name! Sounds so similar.


It's a fun song. I love the verses. Not something I'll listen to often though, I can sense that already haha.

Also...Thelma? In a top 10 ranking? In 2016? Wow.

This is definitely an Ayu-ish track. Kinda has a retro-Rule type feel initially.

The Thelma track was probably used in a CM or something, lol.

"We are the QUEENS" is so so epic, omg. I'm just blown away! It's sooo J-pop & absolutely so ayu - it even reminds me of a few of her past songs (like, maybe "Rule" or "Mirrorcle World"?) it's just got that powerful-ness to it that only ayu could deliver. Love it.

I don't follow her that closely but I thought she had good popularity? It's been declining? I guess I haven't heard anything about her since the 2000s so it is a bit surprising to see her.
I'm so happy that T.M. Revolution is charting in 2016.
Never thought he would still be in the top 10 by now.

It's epic dam. I didn't expect to like it after the CM part but it's really good. It's #12 on iTunes rn which is kinda surprising since it's not even anywhere on the front page

I'd say... it's nice. I'll have to listen to it a few more times, digest everything and then I'll have a really solid opinion on it.

With all the buzz here I thought it was going to be something else.

And ayumi hamasaki is for lyrics and CREA for music. I was confused too.
Ah thanks this was my first itunes buy so not used to how they do things

"Soba ni Iru ne" is Thelma's ultimate (and the only one) hit. It charted for 46 weeks and in September 2008, the Guinness World Records certified the song as the best selling download single in Japan. Maybe that's why it's still a hit in 2016. haha
