I know I will definitely be using your cover when the album is out. This is beautiful!

I just really don't like it, I also would not count it as ballad either.

She literally just perfomed it twice, at CDL09-10 and TA Tour 2016

I would love SAKURA to have a nice remaster, the mix on LoveAgain is a little thin. I really like that song. I could also hope for Mad World but... the mix on Made in japan is good enough for me.

I doubt SAKURA will be re-mixed... if the remaster is better, it’ll be subtle. :-/ I would rather have a reworked version (piano & orchestra version maybe). It’s the drums that kind of bother me.

A thing that bothers me with new Ayu mixes is, they often have a very bright reverb on the vocals that gets annoying. They did a very nice remaster on the Loveppears 2 years ago, vocals were so pleasing to the ears.

By the way guys, a lot of the selected songs have official acoustic versions (or piano-based originals like JEWEL and Curtain call). I tried making a playlist last night on my own iTunes and it sounded pretty good! I recommend it if you guys feel like it ~ a great way to kill time while waiting for this album to drop.

(And FYI, Moments' acoustic version on the single is so much better than the one in Ayu-mi-x 7 IMO)
