Move over BLUE BIRD, there's a new summer queen in town! Seriously, this is probably the best upbeat summer song of ayu's entire career.

This might be strange, but her vocal tone in the chorus makes me wish badly for a collaboration with B'z.

Even I agree with this. I find the song alright after a couple of listens and on speakers, I do have a problem with the English lines and the way she does the chorus as her voice does come out unnatural. I am happy she is trying new things and definitely prefer Nonfiction ro this, but it will probably grow on me as it’s an over-all a well produced track.

I just realized that Summer Again and Nonfiction were available in Dolby Atmos format on Apple Music.

I'm definitely feeling this song, been dancing to it on repeat since first listen. It's a bop.

Omg she looks fkn insanely good here. My literal reaction out loud: “oh my God, she looks f*cking A-MA-ZING *ugh*”

The song—
Love it. Can’t wait to play it in my car tomorrow. But on one listen, I’m super pleased. I was hoping the chorus would be uplifting and fun and have some energy to it, which it does! I thought it would be some monotonous beat/sound effect with no melody but it didn’t pull back, it went in! It’s very happy and just, a ray of sunshine. I think the verses capture the heat of summer, the uncomfortableness at times… but the chorus captures all the good things that accompany it.

If I had to choose, I prefer a Nonfiction, but both of these tracks are songs I’m going to be happy to hear on the album!

I Love it... it's my kind of music.
Fierce and sexy EDM is like home to me.

I didn't have high expectations for this summer single, songs like July 1st, Blue Bird or you & Me sound overly sweetened IMO, but this song sounds made by a truly queen of pop!
Waiting for the PV!

you need to help me out. Im listening to the song nonstop but something bothers me; near the end, from 3:27-3:36, the melody sounds so familiar. It is a very famous song from the 00s? maybe 90s?

Im in love with this new release.

Glad people like it. Sounds like a generic gay-disco-tune to me and us definitely among her worst summer songs, which still is a good standard.

It ups definitely enjoyable but has no repeat value.

I’m waiting for the PV to have the full experience. She said tonight but didn’t say at which time. Will she troll us again and again?
It’s good to see mixed opinions about the song.
Edit: never mind. She announced that the PV is coming tomorrow due to some issues with the editing. Yup. We were trolled again.

OK I listened to it like 10 times, it's starting to feel like a good song for me. I think I'll enjoy it more with the PV.

I'm thrilled that the Ayu I fell in love with is back.
And 20 years after, the hype is still the same before a release. I'm like a kid waiting to open his presents.

Damn, this woman fills me with happiness and joy and I can easily forgive her some crap songs when she releases new quality stuff.

Hmm… At first I really didn’t care for it. Now that I’ve had it on repeat for a while… I like it, but I do wish she’d either sing in a register that didn’t leave her sounding so “pitchy”, or that they’d edit it out. It’s pretty bad in DaD as well, but feels worse in this one.
