If they do decide to include it it will most likely be a Bonus track. Still keep in mind that even though You & Me was on A SUMMER best, the very same version was on LOVE again. So it might not mean a thing.

This is a remix album, if they didn't indicate it's the original mix people would expect Winter diary to be classical as well.

[Aderianu]

Yeah, but this is remix album and all songs supposed to have classical arrangements.
anyway, we will know the truth only after few months =) lets wait and see

You know, when Last minute first came out I wasn't that into it like most fans. It was enjoyable enough and classic ayu, but it was missing something. I think it found it with this classical version. I had no idea this song had this kind of potential to be epic. And her voice is so clear! It packs a much greater punch than the original. The build up is fantastic and the arrangement is nothing less than musical magic. Depending on how the rest of the songs on this album turn out, I might have to switch a few of the originals out of A ONE I'm just praying NO FUTURE is spectacular.

This release was just a way to get Winter diary out there with some added bonuses, and charge more for it because it's technically an album. Winter diary really has nothing to do with any other track on A7. It's obvious.

[Yoake]

Last minute isn't bad but as it was said some parts of the melody singing by Ayu don't match with the new arrangement. It seems that the arranger didn't pay attention to the main melody of the song.

[Surreal17]

Yeah, I agree. As much as I enjoy the classical epic feel, there are parts where her vocals are disjointed with the new arrangement. She should have re-recorded some tracks like she did with You were (Music box remake ver.). That version is beautiful. In my opinion, Step by step's new take compliments more her vocals than Last minute's.
Hopefully, No Future doesn't get the same treatment.

[BlackSilence]

^um i don't recall her re-recording any vocals for that.....?

And yeah i do get the drill of the vocals being not exactly for that arrangement. But I don't think she would sound any different if she re-recorded it. *Shrugs* I mean the emotion would be the same. i usually only have an issue with her much older songs like SEASONS, thata was done in LOVE CLASSICS. I absolutelly love the arrangement, but her voice it's like doing the whole other thing.....lol

[TheRainbow]

Replaying the preview of Winter diary, I feel I'd enjoy it more if it didn't have the intro or if it were instrumental.
Oh and I like the backvocals in the chorus a lot, it's the catchiest part of the song for me haha.

[DevilsClap]

I love the backvocals the most too!

[BlackSilence]

now i listened to the preview of Last minute again... They DID tone down the backing vocals, actually they are almost non-hear-able in the second chorus, where in the original they were clearly there. o_O and i was thinking that she sounds way too clear in it lol it also seems to have a slight echo effect added too.

Winter Diary PV in the new album with Winter Diary original mix song is what I imagine.

I would like she make the new album with a really cool concept and left apart all the A ONE+SIX+A7 thing.

[Sandy]

I remember t´when a classical version of Last Links was released, anyone remember that? Epic feel and everything but the vocals ruined it.

[pimenta]

^ classical version of Last Links...?

[DevilsClap]

It was an Orchestra version of Last Links wasn't it?

[pimenta]

^ OMG, right... I didn't even remember that version existed

The vocals for the music box version of You were... are from a different take than the original studio version.

[DevilsClap]

^ I love that music box version and didn't know that the vocals were different/new.
I always learn new things
