I guess the reason most people dislike this song is the same reason why I love it. I just LOVE christmasy songs like this, they always make me so happy. I'm not surprised it's not a popular opinion though.

It might be able to grow on me. I don't know. I am not so fond of it.
The english in the intro was really bad. Wish she had not include that part.

Great... Take THANK U, put in some Xmas-y arrangements, and BAM! you get the most boring and generic song ever AKA Winter Diary.
I was waiting for this song to decide if I buy the album, and I definitely won't.

I would have preferred a ballad version of Summer Diary, seriously.

I wasn't expecting something like that but I still need some time to digest Winter diary before judging it. Her English sounds really good in the first verses, though.

I can't say is a horrible song. But sure it's a plain and souless song. Nothing remarkable to me and I can't imagine it into a classical album :S
Is like she rushed to make a simple song to earn easy money xD

I really like this song, her voice is not so cheesy cute. I'm so happy she didn't sing the
beginning part with bad engrish like she usually does even though she knows English .

i dunno sometimes i just think people are way too technical on this forum. I think when you are in love with an artists music, you can always find something good in every song even if you dislike it. I could bash Colours till i drop dead and even though i find most of the songs really megh, SOMEHOW, throughout the times i still listened to them i found at least one thing in every song that i actually like. Sometimes i think you need to distance yourself from all the arrangement and lyrics stuff and just listen to the voice and melody. I'm pretty sure there's something special in every song she makes, even if it's not obvious from the first time. Yes her stuff is nothing musicaly special anymore, nor is it groundbreaking with impact or strong impressions, it's safe, with ocasional adventure here and there, but isn't that what HOME is supposed to be? I don't know...it's just ho0w it all makes me feel. And people will have their own opinions yes and that's fine, it just kind of makes me sad lol

What would make Ayu fans happy? A time machine back to 2002.

Not songs that sound like 2002 Ayu (because they would then complain that she's recycling) but an actual time machine to take them back to her hey-day, lol.

Not sure so far but the full song might grow on me. It's pretty but not grabbing me straight away. But I have really liked every other song released this year so one that I don't like straight away is fine!

Preview snippet of the classical take of Step by Step should be uploaded later today , judging from the poll results that's still ongoing

https://twitter.com/ayu_19980408/sta...40879082139649

I'm surprised many people like Step by Step as I'm not really a big fan of it . Maybe the classical take will change my opinion on the song , like what happened to You & Me

I like the classical take of You & Me but didn't cared much for the original take

Damn, why y'all dragging Winter diary? I really have no idea what you expected LMAO

It does sound a bit generic, but it's an AYU WINTER BALLAD. I like it
