It's a very close competition, 'cause they're both great, moving, epic ballads!
I go with TSUKI, but they're pretty much at the same level in my opinion! But... yeah, TSUKI had that PV and everything, so.

I'll go with Tsuki as well since it is so lovely and the melody stands out more.

Definetely pray, I don't like namie's voice when it comes to ballads. Plus TSUKI feels a bit meh for me, while I could listen to pray nonstop!
When it comes to ballads, ayu wins hands down imo XD

I knew this poll was gunna come up someday, ahaha xD.

As much as I love TSUKI and it's uniqueness compared to Pray, this match up goes to Pray for me.
Sure, Pray is very, very Ayu-esque and has a couple of similarities to her older songs already.
But her vocals sound so raw and emotional and powerful. And it gets really touching, at least to me, especially at the end.

Both of them are really beautiful songs, though.
I'm glad both my queens released such great, memorable ballads <3

TSUKI is not hypnotic (because Namie isn't my favorite aritst) to me but it 's better to Pray by having the beautiful, glittering PV. However, Pray is the best and it reminds me how I feel Seasons in the previous day.

As much as I think Pray is generic, for some reason I can't stand Namie's ballad, so Pray for me !

TSUKI. Pray is so boring. I listened to it 3 times yesterday, and I sit here now not remembering how it sounded at all. It's so forgettable. I think what makes TSUKI memorable is the beat. When I first heard it, I thought it was boring until the chorus kicked in and it instantly became one of my favorite songs.

Both are beautiful songs, but IMHO, Namie's voice has no emotional feelings in TSUKI. Sung in beautiful voice but with no emotions. I prefer PRAY.

I prefer Ayumi's singing voice than Namie's, because Namie just sings flat in most of her songs and Ayu uses vibrato, which is her specialty. That's why I choose, “Pray”.

Exactly. She's not good with ballads. So, I think she should stick with her hip-hop only.
