The new image seems interesting. It reminds me of a solid album over. A major comeback album image. Not sure why

Duty is still SO bright and colorful when I listen to it now. That really shouldn't be the case. I mean that's just SAD. But yeah I'm with most of you guys here - what genre ayu does doesn't matter that much to me. What matters is that it has to sound like she & her team cared about making sure it sounded right, and that the feelings we get as listeners are the right ones.

The amount of depth in songs like vogue, Far away and SURREAL is amazing haha.
I particularly like the background noise in vogue and Far away. The constant static-like noise in vogue and the kind of telephone-like voice? in Far away.

SAME HERE! omg, I hear so many people nowadays think the voice in "Far away" is annoying (I love the sort of urban/industrial sound it layers on top of the scenic, atmospheric arrangement), and no one even notices how well the static sound in "vogue" contributes to its full sound. I think those are two really good additions to their respective arrangements.

I wish she'd do something like that again. I don't know if it's the mixing, arrangement etc. but her more recent songs lack the sound of "fullness" most of her old ones used to have. I still like the new songs because I usually don't notice this much, but one can really tell if they compare old and new songs. |

Completely agreed. Duty was just so well put together. Even the singles all sounded like they related to each other (even SURREAL, Duty, Audience, which were not part of the V/FA/S trilogy). Truly a triumph of songwriting, performance, and production in a short single record.
I don't need a bumper pack 16 track record, I just want something that doesn't sound like she threw a bunch of random songs together that were all written in 5 minutes. |

I always found Far away super boring since I became an ayu fan. It's literally not till this past month that I'm warming up to it while listening to A BEST and re-watching her older concerts. It's a great song.

what does the male voice say in far away?
it always sounded like "down, down, pull her down" to me. any idea if that's correct? |

Wait is it that annoying sound that stops during the first verse, and appears again when she sings "soshite itsukara ka..."? I never realised it was supposed to be a voice haha

Oh god, I had NEVER noticed the noise in vogue
![]() I need to agree with everyone on the mixing of Duty, even if her voice was not the best or the most "enjoyable" at that time, the album was so full of sounds and complete! It was the second album of hers I listened to and the one that really got me into ayu, and surely that's a lot thanks to the mixing of the songs. I would really love to see her doing something like Far away again btw <3 |

I love that first part of far away it's probably the part that is most enticing to me in. OMG I can never listen to vogue again lol I never noticed that static until I read it here.

it's not a male voice, it's a sound effect. listen again and you'll hear it. sounds like "down down, pull it down..." but it's literally just a sound effect.
