What do you think of How Beautiful You Are?

[Mari-chan]

I really love that song. Such a beautiful Ballad. (^-^)''

[panda♥]

i love it. i like how powerful her voice sounds.

[miroro]

i''m loving it. But i'm a huge fan of ayu ballads, so .. i hope she has more beautiful ballads like this on Party Queen :3

[pepper]

Honestly I don't have any feelings for it. No hate and no love.

Till the chorus it sound like beloved/meaning of Love etc, nothing sound original. Especially I don't understand japanese so it sound "like usual ballad"

Her english (especially "you don't know") sounds VERY GOOD!
Vocals are smooth and pretty
That's it. It's just boring till the chorus and the choir arragment (which is very fine for me)

[owlflight]

I love the ending part. So lovely to listen to!

[marekcarey]

Tears appear while the music is going through my ears.

[ayu_ready?]

I just hope that Timmy doesn't insert men chanting in every song he makes, like in BRILLIANTE & then How beautiful you are...=/

not much hyped about it, but am I the one who thinks her vocal and singing are super strange?
and that when chanting appears her vocal just can't keep it?

[xLuna&1LOVE]

The only thing what bothers me is the choir in the end. It sounds off for me and when the two come together the magical moment Ayu had in the beginning is... gone. Well, perhaps I need to listen more to it.

[BlackSilence]

one thing I've been missing from her was good vocals, I think she nailed it here at least for me. I absolutetly love her vibrato, and the song is really pretty. For once the cover of the single actually matches the song (minus that font dissaster lol). I'm really not a fan of ballads in general, but this one is beautiful, the instrumental is full of different stuff so you can find pieces and bits of new sounds....I'm pleased

ikr lol

I think her vocals are weird, but pretty, and they are a bit awkward but Im interested to see where she goes with it. They arent bad for her.

[jewelbox]

Vocals in this were..interesting..The vibrato,meh.. I think the choir part was nice and the song itself is well composed. Kinda average, 3/5.

[love in music]

at first i saw the length and i'm like "oh no, it's going to drag being 5m long" but by the end i wanted it to be longer i hope an extra long acoustic orchestra version is released. it's a beautiful ballad and her vocals are flawless. ;_; best vocals in a ballad since JEWEL imo.

Yeah, I really don't like the harmony/choir part. It's much more subdued than the live version, which is something I was hoping for, but it still seems Ayu's fighting to be heard over it.

[Chibi-Chan]

At first I didn't liked it very much. But miraculously I find it very beautiful now. Can't remember when was the last time I played an Ayu-single that was a ballad that often in a row. Virgin Road, Sweet Season, You were..., Sunset ~LiA~, MOON etc. weren't all that good for me.

[happiholic★]

Its incredibly meh. I'm hoping the album has something on it I love.

[sesshy]

It's okay. The ending was nice. But I'm at a point where I'm really tired of ballads, so it might take time to grow on me... I like how she says: "You don't know..."

[hikaricore]

I think it's really good. It's of a much higher quality than FIVE (besides Progress)
And yeah, she's killing it vocally. She sounds a little too controlled in the beginning,
but really unleashes toward the end. I love it.

[pepper]

conclusion (after listening to it some amount of times...)

till last chorus it's meh.
last chorus is very pretty.

[YUKARI]

I can't wait to see PV! I hope it won't be something like beloved

[AyumiAi]

IN LOVE X 10000 WITH THIS SONG!
