I find that it's a great ending to the first part of the album, it isn't as frantic as the songs before it which is a nice change. I'd also like to point out how there was a similar-sounding rock ballad on (miss)understood, the title track, as track number 5.

It was (I always want to put "..." after this song -- "It was..." but oh well)

I loved this preview, and I absolutely love the beginning sound, very nice. Her vocals in the first verse also go well with the soft arpeggiated chords in the background, which I'm happy continue throughout the verses.

The chorus has a nice melody, and Ayu's voice is so...gives another feeling, she may have just been singing in a wierd style, almost like girlish, but not that extreme, but she almost sounds sad, I like the effect, intentional or not.

I love the background, just excellent, and when the chorus comes, there's so many new elements, chords here and there, what I like about Ayu's new style, is that there are so many components to the music, yet they all fit so well, and then you have her vocals on top of them, and they fit just perfectly against the music.

I love the down part, emphasizes the mood. She doesn't just stop in this one, there's a low part, but I think the introduction to her vocals by the drums is a really nice effect.

I like this song, nice melody. A bit repetitive, but I like it.

This song's alright - it kind of remains me of songs from MY STORY.

the saddest song in the album IMO, i find this song very emotional, and when i finally read the chorus translation, everything's so clear

"the season when you were there was the most dazzling one,
and everything we saw was full of brilliance"


SO SWEET!

I personally don't like this song that much. It kind of bores me unfortunately. It's probably my least favorite on the album actually. =/

Its so mellow compared to the first 4 tracks' rocking fast pace.

I think it is very similar to (m)u...soft verse..then bam bam Chorus..and it follows that (m)u way..

tat explains why it was made in that time..but then again...two composers with similar composition...no wonder Ayu didnt noe what to choose...but i think (m)u was great...this song is nice too

edit: OOPS, my bad, criminal already said it

oh boy
this is quickly becoming my second favorite song of Secret
it's just too sad
i feel so emotional just listening to it...
sure it isn't the most original song, but somehow it comes off so powerful when the song itself is mellow
i can just picture a music video, just ayu and her Secret black diamond dress walking all alone like in the appears or HEAVEN video
only she's not walking in HEAVEN haha
i would love to see a PV for this song

honestly, the only part of the song that i absolutely luv is the transition, the rest is.....blah, too generic,

it does remind me of the my story album.

this is my least favorite song off the secret album.
