"Time" didn't hit me the way I wanted it to in the end, but damn. "Dare nimo Iwanai" is amazing.

^as time grew on me as a background song, I again think this is song is kinda lame. I can see the interesting choice in composition she made here but it sounds like an album track - nothing more.

I have mixed feelings.
Just the preview was enough to get me excited, so... At first the only thing that put me off a bit were the weird "horn" sounds, but still I was enjoying it. It's glorious, ethereal, much better than Time, then the second half came... the let down. Wish she kept it going the same way as the first half, I just can't connect with it. Idk if this will grow on me but I don't feel like listening to it a lot, at least not the full thing. Last edited by RealLight; 2nd June 2020 at 04:53 AM. |

Not surprised some people don’t like the second half, JPop listeners are notoriously prude lol
The second half really takes off, the whole song is fantastic. |

I didn't like the song at all until I listened to it again with the earbuds. Blame amazon echo dot, a mono speaker with no dynamics at all lol.

I love the new song. I feel like I can hear her personality coming back to the music. I also don't understand the prude comment. How is this song explicit?

This is a song I’d gladly listen to. It feels melancholic, which I enjoy. It feels like one of those songs you’d listen to staring out a train window, pretending you’re in you’re own music video, lol.
The song flowed into For You on my Spotify, and it was a great transition. This is also the type of music J-POP needs right now. There’s absolutely nothing interesting or exciting happening in right now, in my opinion. (Less famous rappers are exciting me but on the pop sphere I can’t say I’ve been into very much...)

^there is quite a lot going on, just mostly not mainstream.
But I don't feel like this song adds anything fresh either. Its just an enjoyable listen on the side.

Yes, I was referring to mainstream music. It’s been pretty stale. I know there’s at least some interesting stuff if you dig around, but big J-pop artists have been pretty stuck IMO. Either it’s singer-song writer stuff, which isn’t particularly “exciting”, or K-pop inspired stuff.
If I hear Paprika or Lemon or Marigold one more time... lol I don’t think this song is a “hit” I just meant it’s... different, compared to other big names. Which is exciting enough for me lol.

Kenshi Yonezu is great tho. Dunno why you dislike it - pretty amazing compositions and lyrics. Mainstream Pop yes, but good ones and there is a reason he is a big hit.
I don't even think this Utada song is too far off from his style. But you are right - J-Ppop isn't moving forward especially if you are a longtime fan. These two Utada songs are pretty meh for me for exactly that reason. Nothing fresh - heard it before.

I didn’t say I didn’t like it or him, just saying that’s it’s overplayed. I’d get tired of any song if it was overplayed.
