『MOON』 New medium ballad title revealed!

[AyUta]

Idk...it sounds alright, but then again it doesn't. Or at least not to my liking. I need to wait for the full thing .

[AyuGAME]

i love it even more after see that honda cm...
the way ayu sing it really make me remember old ayu, its kinda raw and emotional...love it

[truehappiness]

But really, an Ayu song only disappoints me when I feel like ANYONE in the world can sing it. Maybe it's just me but I'm not moved by her emotion for this track. It's her vocals I have a big problem with (and that crappy chorus). I LOVE the lyrics though.

Well, I think anyone in the world could've sung it, but that goes for a lot of Ayu songs. In Ayu's case though, only she could've written a lot of the songs that she has, haha.

[Bigtop]

I hope I can listen it in full; my estimate is that it could be five minutes long; maybe slightly longer or shorter or such...

And my estimate that it could be released sometime in late July or even August...

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

if she is singing it at her concerts already this song shouldnt take long to be released right??? I mean, even next month or something??

[Ayusan]

wow what a "fight" for 15 sec. of a song lol

Personnally I have no real opinion for MOON for the simple reason it's 15 seconds O.O though I have an odd feeling but how can you hate it or love it with 15 sec ?! Lucky that we don't judge humans only by their clothes we saw for 15 seconds or we would miss a lot on earth I think !

Anyway yeah, she already sing it in lives, I wonder if we will have to wait until july, august .... sounds odd to me. A good parts of their fans would already known the song by the time. Or she won't release it ? Or only as digital .... don't have a clue at all.

[hsienko]

I like it. But I think it's too early to form a 'real' opinion because the CM versions tend to suck. Like I remember how awful Sparkle and GAME sounded in the Honda and Panasonic commericals.

So I found the lyrics of MOON from someone who went to one of the concerts and took down the lyrics on the screen.

While there can still be mistakes, depending on whether or not the person wrote them down 100% correctly or not, here they are:

僕たち出会った夜は
幻想の中に紛れて
夢とリアルを行き来したから
幻のように消えてった

あの日の月は遠すぎて
記憶も曖昧なままで
君の姿はぼやけてたから
忘れられるはずだったんだ

傷つけた心が初めて見せた涙を
この手でそっと拭う
勇気がなくてごめんね

ねぇ優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠と永遠信じられるように
だからもうそんな悲しい瞳で
震える声で聞かないで...
「愛してる？」

手をのばせば届きそうな月を
二人で見上げたね
綺麗過ぎて苦しかったから
泣きだしそうになったんだ

瞳を閉じて誓った祈りが
叶うのならば
もうそれ以上他には何も
何にもいらない

ねぇ優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠と永遠信じられるように
だからどうか君は笑っていて
幸せだよと聞かせて...もう一度

優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠を永遠信じられるように
だからもうそんな悲しい瞳で
震える声を隠して聞かないで...
ねぇ愛してる？

優しい歌を君にあげるよ
永遠と永遠信じられるように
だからどうか君は笑っていて
幸せだよと聞かせて
もう一度





They weren't on the main page, but have they been posted in full yet?
haha...

Anyway, they were on an Ameba blog~

[ayane4ever]

It sounds good...can't wait for the full song

[AyUmIXx]

MOON..
all i can say, I really need a HQ ver..
listening to the preview, I still don't really find it that special yet..
but what Max and Ayu mentioned about MOON for being like a nostalgic song to the old Ayu... and it's been a special song to Ayu and Max..

I felt the special-ness with the chaku-uta version, but not with this. This version kills the song somewhat.

I still don't know if it's just me and my ears, but the CM version really sounds very different from the chaku-uta. The chaku-uta really gave me that old classic ayu feeling, but the CM one just made me wonder what kind of weird arrangement they subjected the song to. Could someone who actually has the chaku-uta listen to it and tell me I'm not hearing things?

[AyUmIXx]

^
really?
so it's liked a totally different songs? hmm~~
sometimes ago, we got the short preview from the chaku-uta
but i also forgot already how did it sound like hahaha..
oh well.. still waiting for MOON~
even with chaku-uta or the CM song..i still can't judge what's the special-ness on this song yet hehe~

Umm...what's the problem with "special-ness"?

[AyuWorld]

^yes Misa chan i notice it too,this CM version is slighty different from the chaku uta rip.i listen to it again and again.from the chaku uta feel like i'm listening to the mix of ASFXX~verison 2~ with the guitar and string mix and have the feeling of Season i cant hear the strings in the CM,maybe thats just me,idk,


all we had now just a LQ preview of it,kinda hard to judge it now~

Yeah, the chaku-uta version had stronger strings, and some fantastic drumming going on. And none of that crazy bass going on like in the CM version.

Oh well, I guess it IS too early to judge. But the chaku-uta really had my hopes up. No ayu preview ever got me the way MOON did, lol!!

The drums are almost as audible as Ayu singing.

That wasn't my complaint. The fantastic drumming is still there, but the bass just covered it all up.

I did listen to the DL version. It's not changed my opinion. Oh well, guess I'll just cross my fingers and wait to hear the final arrangement...

that bass in the CM mix took over the song

[AyUmIXx]

[Bigtop]

Time passes, and I'm still waiting for it...
