i cannot say i hate that DAISHI DAISHI guy, but really from what i've heard of his work it really is nothing outstanding or groundbreaking, it's very typical and mediocre and quite boring for my ears, that's why i cannot understand the fuss over him.

^laid back piano compositions mostly...but they have a certain something - and they are by far more outstanding than the last three albums of ayu in terms of composition and flow.
His sound is very very polished.

it's a matter of taste, and so far every song i've heard of him sounds the same lol definitely not enough to convince me to become a fan of his work. I mean maybe if the arrangement was different i would get hooked, as of now, his stuff doesn't sound intriguing instrumentally, and i need that to get my ears glued to the headphones.

am i the only one who's checking the forum every day to see if maybe avex gave out an other snippet of one of the new PVs? cuz i cannot handle this wait anymore lol

[pepper]

What is forever love is only one song I truly like from CoLOURS

im youtubing sum of his works and this:


would fit ayu more than MUCC xd

[rainbow_smile]

Okay after the second listen I'd definitely classify Sayonara as midtempo kinda like WIFL. And some more details about the PV: in the bed scenes: they switch between her being with the guy and being alone

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Summer Diary sounded soooo good.

[AyuGAME]

^What kind of song is it?

I'll say it again: Arcadia was NOT!!!! composed by DAISHI DANCE, but by Miya of MUCC. It doesn't make any sense to say it would fit Ayu more than MUCC, unless you're assuming the song was composed by DAISHI DANCE. What it was not. DAISHI DANCE added the house elements to the song. And btw, Arcadia has a very typical MUCC sound and it does not sound like anything Ayu would ever do. Even though I wish she would.

typical mucc sound ended with homura uta but thats the matter of taste i guess. but i'm not sayin that they electronic stuff is bad, just diffrent.

and i do feel electronic/rock ayu sound, but thats also a matter of taste.

I thought you were saying, like a lot of other people, Arcadia was written by DAISHI DANCE and that DAISHI DANCE should have given the song to Ayu instead of MUCC.
I found it a little ignorant to claim the song was written by someone else than Miya, that's why I made that comment.

I don't think a lot of people here listen to MUCC/Visual Kei, so they're not being "ignorant", they just don't know anything about them to begin with. On this forum the artists we're all supposed to have knowledge about are female solo artists such as Kuu, Namie or Hikki

I'm excited to hear Summer Diary

I didnt really meant the composition itself, more the electronic sound.

Off topic but you don't consider Zekuu or kuchiki no tou to have the stereotypical mucc sound??

I'm still 1000% convinced that the original title had to be SEX-TAPE, but it was probably way too risky. And Koda can't really afford another major scandal for her career. And rightly so, she's too damn talented to be tossed out the door like Suzuki Ami.

Well, like in NintendoHTF1242's perspective, DAISHI DANCE is an amazing producer. I agree that their productions are really pretty, I just don't hear much variation in them. So, like with RedOne, producers that only have a certain sound feel like a step back for Ayu. At the same time, maybe Ayu's track with DD will be refreshing, especially compared to some of the overused production motifs: the expansive strings, the plain piano ballad.

I'm going to err on Nintendo's side on Sayonara. Usually, if I feel positive about something Ayu is doing, I tend to end up enjoying it more. The only exception, albeit recent, was A ONE, which I genuinely thought would not be as good as it turned out.

Still, I really wish Nintendo would post their perspective on DD. Maybe there's something about DD that we overlook?
