^hahaha turnips?! lol

I like it, but I probably will hardly ever listen to it which is fine since A) Ayu summery songs arent my favourites unless they're ballads like MOON... B) This isnt a single and I dont really mind that its just tacked onto a Best album. This is something extra for the album, so not much reason to complain.

I think that, for the first time I'm absolutely sure she's gone 100% downhill. There's not a single thing I like about this track. It's so forgettable, her voice in it is not good, the techno/dancy melody is just irritating, etc. I don't like it.

i love the song so far! i'm very happy that it's upbeat, too. because i didn't know what to expect, an upbeat song or a ballad. although i would have been fine with a ballad, i'm still so happy that the song is upbeat & i really like it.

Was not expecting the upbeat stuff after that intro o_O but compared to all her other summer songs, this won't do. Idk it's missing something...

I thought it was alright...
I mean it's not her worst, but it's unlikely to turn into one of my faves either.

So far I really like this.

i hated it. But i found myself singing the chorus over and over at the end of the day! Seriously, the melody sounds too Jpop Generic. But i don't know why it feels like it has something different. Something Ayu can only put on her songs."

I only got about halfway through the song before I got bored of it. It doesn't hold my interest unlike other songs such as Kumi's Whatchu Waitin' On?, Perfume's Hurly Burly, or even AAA's 777 ~We can sing a song!~.

After the disappointment that was Party Queen and now this, I'm starting to lose interest in Ayu. I'm hoping the ToX song is great, but I'm not gonna hold my breath at this point.

catchy, funny, fresh and summerish..It won't be my favourite song but it's a perfect summer single! And I've been missing a summer single for so long!

Moreover the PV is very nice, she looks absolutely a goddess, love it.

I found myself loving this song after listening to the full version.

I think I heard the background voice saying 'Ayumi' at the beginning of the song?

I hate the english. I was saying on twitter...part of me kind of wishes it didn't have the electro feel it has.

I would love love an acoustic version that was more simple, because I think the best part about the song is the chorus composition.

I think this song has ended up like a lot of other TK songs for me, where the composition is nice, but the arrangement is...not exactly what I wanted. But it's not terrible. I kinda like that super cute, sweet sound from the string-ed piano and the synthy stuff.

I guess I really only don't like the rihanna electro stuff.

I also don't like the wow wow wows. Ending is perfect. Vocals are nice, except when she's speaking english and sounds like she's holding her nose. Otherwise, gorgeous.

So much better than the short version. Like 50 gazillion million times better. This song is going to be great live. So happy it's not a damn ballad.

^ I agree with everything you said. I highly dislike this electronic arrangement. It sounds very outdated.
And the english parts.. Not good.
but at least it has the summer feeling, and that's the point

The progress of the song is very predictable. You listen to the first 1:20 minutes and after that you know what you gotta expect for the other 4 minutes. For instance "SURREAL" was such a weird and unusual concept for a song, there are like three parts in it and each of them is a different sound, only the ending is similar with the melody at the beginning.

Nevertheless. I am not against generic pop songs in general. "You & Me" is OK and it's on the disc that I prefer over the other one =D
