Except that You & Me was actually a great song. Winter Diary is literally her worst song of the last 10 years.

I hate it more than Eyes, Smoke, Magic, Like a doll, November, everything on sixxxxx, AND Anything For You, which -- trust me -- is an incredible feat.

All songs which I see as great works in her discography. XD

It just cracks me up how I must be the ONLY person who loves Eyes, Smoke, Magic and the next love.

I really love Eyes, Smoke, Magic I feel so related to the lyrics

I'm 1 of the rare few that actually likes Party Queen material wise even though visual wise it's my outright least favourite for obvious reasons

And considering that Ayu has put out so many great Winter inspired songs in her discography , Winter diary sounds very pale in comparison :x

I don't know if the full version will make me change my opinion on it but regardless I will still buy this new remix classical album since I bought the previous 3

Totally what I feel.

Probably inspired by a very old Aikawa Nanase PV "Koigokoro" with the same story. I can't get rid of deja vu feeling. Shot beautifully though.

I really like You & Me and the way she made it her "theme song" for a while...

I confess...I really like Winter Diary, probably because I had no expectations. If it ended up on an album, I wouldn't mind terribly, even though it would seem kind of like a scam what with it being the only technically new material on this winter release.

I do wish they had another version of it to where it matched the rest of the CD.

^ We have very contrasting tastes in music, I think Anything for You, Shape of Love, and Like a doll are all excellent songs, with the former being the best ballad she's released in a looooong time. xD

Back to Winter Diary though, do we even know how long the track is yet? Who knows what it'll sound like as a whole. Also, if it is put on her next album, I imagine it'll be an album version with the omission of the 'holy night' part at the beginning, and perhaps a different arrangement overall.

She's going to Taiwan to shoot the PV for Winter diary!!

[Gustavopc]

Album comes out next week and she's going to record a PV now? Stakes of WD being included on her next release now are at 78.2% it seems.

the song sounds WAYYY too happy for a death PV LOL

I think Winter diary is so gonna be on the next album. Hopefully with a remixed version minus all the x-masy sounds LOL

[aliceshields]

May be "Winter Diary ~ after Christmas ver.~"

[Aderianu]

The GIFT (Winter diary Ver.) on KKBOX from 18th

(we'll get full song 18th december)

[aliceshields]

[Aderianu]

^ Thank you, Karen!

So I guess Winter diary on the next album is a given.
