Thoughts on Sunrise ~ LOVE IS ALL~?

[majrakun]

I love it! It is pretty refreshing, I love the electro feel in the verses. The intro is by far my favourite part <3 The chorus was good and fit just right, although the part were only they were singing felt a little too long and draggy, it made go "okay, now, come back Ayu! Where's Ayu??" Other than that, I guess I'd be putting this song on repeat for a while.

I just listened to it at work when everyone went home. I downloaded the file, turned the volume on my WMP and my computer to MAX and stood back to enjoy.

Wow, it's a very breathtaking song, I imagine an epic PV for this, like fairyland, NEXT LEVEL and BLUE BIRD, with huge sweeping takes of the surroundings.

I get the feeling of "independent 2009" when I hear it, but there's just something special about this tune. It sounds like such a familiar song but I can't place where I've heard something like it before. It's a special song.....I love how it still fits in the theme of NL but is definitely a summer song

[Ayu_desu]

... the melody isn't inspiring at all. Way too poppy and bubbly for my liking. Congrats to those who love the song though.

[noidea]

I like the beginning and love the last chorus, but aside that, I really, really dislike the song so far o.0
too much bubblegumpop for me, I always liked how ayu was able to make fun and happy pop songs without sounding like this
BUT its addictive, thats a good thing, I probably wont skip it in concerts/her next album

[freedreamer]

Yea! this sounds very RAINBOW-era? lol...even though my ayu fandom wasnt born then.

THE BAD:
-I felt like the male chorus sounded very raw...hahaha..not sure if that's a gd thing if I keep listening..
-Garhh the bridge sounded very cutesy..very Chinese pop >.< something I didnt expect...Ayu's singing in the bridge is very little girl-like HAHAH...i wished she sang like in the chorus...
-Yes the sounds sounded quite messed...but im sure the Quality made it more irritable


THE GOOD:
-the NEXT LEVEL sound
-The Upped CHorus in the end...i knew I heard a different chorus key before in the very short preview heh
-Her voice in the chorus is <33333333333333333
-the Opening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Godsend..I love how it flows into the verse so well...its like im on a peaceful island...COME JOIN ME! then bam chorus which has
-SUPERB ENERGY!!! really gets me moving...something fairyland, BLUE BIRD, glitter didnt do...

7/10

I completely agree with your analysis!

[~X2RADialbomber~]

It wasn't that great, but hey... you can't like them all.

Plus, her last few singles were AMAZING in my eyes so I kind of saw this coming.

[NintendoHTF1242]

So I think the song is pretty good now, but it's not like, impressive or anything xD I like the beginning, but the bridge could use some work.

[noidea]

^ actually, I think I can hear autotuning on it as well, it has a quite fast attackrate, so you can easily notice it, but im not very good at finding autotuning, I dont even know if she uses it in concerts(though I really, really doubt that, too many notes are slightly off)
it could be some kind of weird effect as well, but one thing is there for sure: her voice does NOT sound natural

[njanjayrp]

You know it's really amazing how whenever she has a new song out people analyze it from first to the very last second just so they could find something to ***** about. Don't you have anything better to do besides complaining about the things most of the people don't give a damn about.

[zyoeru]

I don't get the whole autotuning thing?

[noidea]

autotuning is fixing the pitch in a recording, most artists use it for studio recordings and many nowadays use it live, it corrects notes that are slightly off, but can easily be spotted unless youre really good at setting the settings(xD)

Ohh..well the version I uploaded someone mentioned the possibility of this being untuned for release...like it's the full track without being finetuned.

[pommy48]

I like it, it's something new and fresh~ Doesn't feel recycled from past summer songs, though I like the slower parts more, the chorus does nothing for me XD

[noidea]

^ possible, I doubt the arranger would make such obvious autotuning, BTW: who arranged it? CMJK? HAL?

[YuriChan]

^CMJK... He's the guy who also arranged Sparkle.

Well, CMJK would NEVER make such a "mistake", such a bad mix, this is definitly not the final mix. At least I hope so xD

[Hydeki]

Oh... At first I was like... Uh... another random summerish song, but now I love it!!!! It reminds me a lot of Independent (one of my favourites songs).

And the end is almost copy and paste with Ayu laughing, lol

[Kashoku]

i love it. its different, and i love the electro sound

[~Tsubasa~]

I love this song!!!!! It's soooo beautiful!!!!!
