I think the song is all kinds of awesome. I like the unusual composition of verse-verse-verse-climax-climax-CLIMAX-CLIMAX and the dramatic music just successfully adds to its Godawesomeness. It's just a shame that it's getting difficult for her to perform live. I know nobody asked this but my favorite recent-ish SURREAL performance is the one in CDL 0506 (and that's already seven years ago DEAR GOD); her voice was still okay and the editing made it perfect.

All the love for SURREAL.
this!

I think it definitely is. Maybe not at the top of the list of hits, but yes.

When I think of ayu's top ten "HITS!" like the songs that everyone in Japan loved, I think (in no real order):

01 M
02 Dearest
03 evolution
04 UNITE!
05 Days
06 SURREAL
07 SEASONS
08 Boys & Girls
09 Voyage
10 STEP you / HEAVEN

sad that none of those "hits" are from the last few years...I really want her to release another single and have it "WOW" everyone in Japan.

I never get sick of SURREAL!! It's one of the popular Ayu songs that I love! She perform this song quite often in her concerts so I suppose it's gotta be a great hit!
