New single 'Dreamed a Dream' by Tetsuya Komuro out July 31st, 2020

[TITANIC]

OMG this song is so hot. I thought I'd be disappointed but damn, she proved me wrong.
When was the last time she released sick beat like this? Talkin' 2 Myself perhaps?

I'm so happy that it's not another ballad.

[AyuCanada]

I really love it, I prefer this version to the remixes, the remixes were good but as someone said, they sound like remixes not original tracks, they are a bit too edgy and lack of melody to me. This version sounds more balanced and memorable to me.

[Ruan Borges]

Oh boy, I am blown away by the song! Is EVERYTHING, it has a urgent feeling to it that gets me so hard, for me, SHE DID IT!

[Federica-chan]

JUST LOVE IT! Amazing!

[maxikot]

Thanks for the lyrics Koumori and remove-mom I love them, they scream ayu to me and they are very meaningful with a great message. The song keeps growing on me and it was already amazing at the beginning I hope it charts well, it deserves it so much!

I think the 'partner' bits do refer to Max especially since he's producing her actively again after not doing it for like 20 years.

When I first read it i first thought she she referring to her fans. ''Let's dream the same dream'' Is the kind of she she write in her TA generated happy birthday emails. She also received a huge amount of hate by media and public in the recent years.

The ats- version is good, but it doesn't have the same "punch" that the official version has imo.

[SpiceSquad!]

IT'S SO F*****N GOOD!!

Well, since he do it just for fun. But actually comes out with an amazing arrangement like that. We can imagine If he is being paid to do it. I believe he will make it even more amazing, mixing it mastering it in another level.

[Yoake]

I'm a bit disappointed by Dreamed a Dream. The intro and the verse are really good. But the arrangement of the chorus...where is the explosion? Really the arrangement is heavy. It drains all the energy of her voice. Overall it's one of her most rich arrangement for this kind of song. I wish she'll provide an epic remix one day. As she did with Winter diary ～A7 Classical～.

全部なくなったその後で

交わって光になれ

We wish lol Her voice now isn’t half as good as it was during that time. It’s kinda frustrating for me with Ayu, because she went from a not so good voice at her beginnings, then developed the most beautiful voice and technique around 2003 which lasted till 2010 or so, then started to decline every year. I’m a bit worried for the years to come tbh. Comparing her songs through the years it does even sounds like a complete different person. Kinda off topic but needed to say lol


Dreamed a dream must be the best song in like, 4 years? I’m digging it. It’s simply perfect.

[Evolution7/4]

It def is We are the Queens Part 2 but its less campy, a little darker and with wayyyy better production so it feels much fresher, cooler and classier lol

I think that's to be expected from someone who tours as much as she does. Look at Madonna, for example - she doesn't sound at all like she did in Holiday lol. That and I'm sure it's tough for her to improve her technique since she can't hear as well as she used to. :-/

I'm just proud of her for not quitting and instead continuing to do what she loves. I admire her discipline.

[truehappiness]

This song is a bit like progress' more insane sister song, lol. A few moments have that vibe but this is more along the lines of Sparkle or harder tracks from LOVEppears imo!

For me it sounds as if they took bits from NO FUTURE, Many Classic Moments and We are the QUEENS but still managing to create a different song in her discography.

[mizuki-7]

Arrangement by Yuta Nakano... interesting that’s probably why the song sound quite familiar. I am pleasantly surprised.

[rainbow_smile]

Doesn't she usually use the "dream the same dream" phrase in relation to her fans and career? I think the song might be about that. But maybe it's just a theory lol
