RedOne is capable of electro-rock, I was really disappointed they went with their pop/dance sound with Ayu actually. Would have loved if they did their darker Gaga-slash-Porcelain Black sound with Ayu. Was really unhappy with XOXO overall. Not that it's bad, but again, it's just... so SAFE.

I just really miss when Ayu wasn't so safe ;_;

And I'm totally allowed to say "her covers lately" when I mean Happening Here and SEVEN DAYS WAR, both of which I found very VERY underwhelming, and both of which had the same problem. They felt like MIDIs. Like the production team systematically said "What's a more modern version of THIS instrument in the song?" and copied the sheet music note for note rather than building a whole new track out of the song's essence and emotion, like with "sotsugyou shashin" or the other examples I mentioned.

I wasn't expecting this either.

On the plus side, no one is butchering First Love. On the downside, AI is covering FINAL DISTANCE. There goes a once beautiful song.

I'm surprised by her choice! I didn't expect that at all
Back in the day when I listen to Movin' out without you in the appropriate timeframe lol I love it, but today the arrangement seems dated for me.

However I LOVE it when Hikki performed it live, the energy of the live arrangement just lift the song better. And I hope Ayu with her version can deliver that kind of kickass, I hope RedOne didn't change it into poppish, I'm expecting more rock in the cover.

AI's FINAL DISTANCE is not bad but I'm not fond of her voice
Nevertheless I'm excited for this

after reading all the trashy complains, I think ayu should stick in one style and get a group of supporters with similar music tastes. That can avoid those complaints complain and dislike about everything she has been doing.

I am looking forward the cover. Surprised and love RedOne!

Loving Shiina Ringo's cover. But... I am so biased when it comes to her. XD Ugh, I am wayyyyyy excited about this whole thing!

I listened to AI's cover...WOW! that sounds pretty powerful!! Can someone tell me who she is? I've heard of her, but I don't really know who she is. Also, near the end, is that Utada herself doing harmonies or am I mistaken?

LOL but, that Sakura Drops cover cracked me up, to be honest. XD

very unexpected song of choice...
i've never listened to movin on without you before..
but after listening to it, i found it it's pretty nice song..
so can't wait for ayu's version!

AI's final distance sounds nice but it's still weird to listen to her singing in such slow pace haha..
SAKURA DROPS turns like a spanish song haha
letters wow my fave among all the covers preview. shiina ringo sounds so cool.
KIRINJI? who are they? they also make the song sounds so cute.

Apparently people who went to the listening parties said that Ayu's cover is "really cool"
