I think it's ok, it'll probably grow on me. However... While her voice sounds fine in the chorus, it is NOT good in the verses. Might be due to her trying to do her cute voice, but still. She should really rid herself of that, she sounds like a smoked-out 60 year old whiskey-fiend, and given that she's almost in her mid-thirties, it is no longer cute. At all.

Sounds AMAZING.

I don't think she's necessarily trying to do a cute voice... that's just how she sounds.

It sounds more to me like the song grows on you the minute you hear the chorus, haha.

Mmmm, dem strings.

it sounds like blossom. I love it but prefer a dancy track rather than her regular pop

^ This.

I honestly thought it was just some epic strings piece from the RPG itself, but then Ayu starts singing and I was literally like... THIS IS PROGRESS?!?!

So much epicness. I can hear the similarities to blossom but this isn't nearly as summer-poppy; it's much more on the epic side. The chorus, like someone said earlier on, has much more of a hook than a lot of recent Ayu songs, and the verses are just so tranquil and... 'magical' almost. I'm really really excited about this song.

Sounds like an anime opening or something like that, something "epic" and catchy but unoriginal and eventually bland.
I may be wrong though.

Can't wait to hear more of it.


Thank you!

This is exactly what I think!

Hmmm I like it overall!

The orchestral/instrumental part before ayu's vocals come in, I thought it was EPIC... xD
And then the verses someone sounded a little out of place ..
and then the chorus was great XD

I suppose if we heard the verse while not watching the video would be nicer (or full song~).... I think....it's that disjointness (?) of her vocals in the verses that made it odd along with that melody
