Terminal (recut single) in stores 2014.10.01

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Neato completo. It's not my favorite Colours song simply due to the lyrics kind of bothering me but the song itself is very powerful, dark, and beautiful in its own way, so I think it's a good one for her to release.

As someone who loves almost every style Ayumi Hamasaki has gone for, I personally believe that this style suits her best. I love rock Ayu, "classical" Ayu, pop Ayu, and every other style she's done, but techno/trance is just perfect for her.

That's a new one.

YES LOT OF REMIXES PLS

If you guys look on the poll, Terminal is still one of the favourites on this forum:

Not that I mind if it changed. It still is my favourite (and Angel my least), no matter what everybody thinks
If that single really comes true and it's great content wise, it will probably be the firsst single I'd buy from Ayu since a long time.

it's all just a maatter of opinion, really, Zeke.

Now that I think about it, I could see why anyone would be surprised to have this song of all the songs on Colours to be turned into a single. It is unlike most of the singles she has ever released in terms of arrangement, lyrical content, and overall feeling. In my opinion, if you had asked me which songs I suspected from Colours would be turned into a single, I would have expected something like Hello New Me/XOXO (ignoring the fact that Hello New Me is a digital single...).

Because this seems like such a unique and rather daring choice for her, I think it's actually pretty cool. Will it prove to be a huge waste? Possibly.

XD

But, I think it'll be interesting to show a different side of herself with this single. I hope the cover will be dark and edgy. XD

I'm not a fan of trance music and I really liked how the instrumentation builds up some tense atmosphere, reverbered by the lyrics. I think it's a good piece of music.

I feel the same. Normally, I'd agree with others' opinion about the instrumental going for too long (and I actually did at first) but after listening to the song a few times, the instrumentals stopped feeling excessive and rather began feeling quite thrilling and suspenseful, and with the implications of pain and darkness that the lyrics give to the song, "Terminal" ends up like a wonderful story told in sounds and a few sentences.
"Terminal" is one of those songs that prove to me that music is a media much more similar to movies and books than we think; each song tells a story even if some may be very superficial and fleeting, and "Terminal"'s story happens to feel very deep and penetrating to me. But I can understand that, as with all types of media, this story is not for everyone, nor does everyone necessarily think the music conveys any kind of proper story at all to them. But that's the beautiful versatility of art, I guess.

Soooo is it actually happening?

It's not surprising that they'd pick Terminal, it's the best choice for a remix heavy recut single... which it best be otherwise what's the point?

Who knows, there isn't a real source, there is only a Facebook post of a fan-page.

I prefer new music, I don't see good sales for a re-cut single.

I know this is extremely unlikely, but it would be nice if they added a new song to it. But, like I said, I doubt that will be the case.

I really do hope that this is true about her releasing it.

I think this is just one of these fanmade things that chinese fanpage made sometimes. But I hope I'm wrong! xD

I also think all this is complete BS. I may be wrong too...

[orangeakira]

^Let's hope so.

[zellyx]

Not only the Dub-mix!

[AyuGAME]

wowwwww so cool!!!

but i think its so strange the effect is not matched with Ayu's song...maybe its fake??? there are fireworks and pyro...but we can't hear the explotion sound

[sitara]

I'd prefer a new set of remix cds to be honest... it's been too long since she released the last ayu-mi-x series and I need more than 1 fresh remix to dance to ^____^

Think we could write people on twitter again?

You should look up the version with the drums! I always kinda liked Brute, but felt it was missing something. Then Armin started throwing this updated mix into his sets which included drums and it was EXACTLY what the song needed.
