^ Thank you, Karen!

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

Interesting, they are taking a long time to shoot Winter diary! That's promising, but I'll try to keep my hopes at a safe level

Ah, wish there had been a BluRay release then. Though it would've been wasted on just one video lol. Maybe she's already recording her new CD?

The GIFT sounds beautiful, I like it much more than the original
But is it just me or are the vocals too low compared to the background music in some parts?

It sounds okay... I don't think I'll listen to it a lot because I really like the original version.

I'm 1 of the rare few that actually likes THE GIFT in A ONE & I'm partially biased since it was composed by fellow Singaporean JJ Lin

Anyway , the Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ take on the song is lovely , I like it a lot

Is it official? I am not a fan of the original version, but I like it more than this one tbh. It sounds like half of her ballads, just with a bit more depth. But I should expect this, ballads in classical version are not as WOW-y as her rockish songs...

The GIFT is still horrendous. That vocal melody is just bizarre to me. It's difficult to latch onto.

I don't like this version of The GIFT too much--her voice is so low in the mix.

It's good. But the new arrangement is less rich than the ones for Last minute and Step by Step. I prefer the original.

I actually totally enjoyed the original too. I always thought it was a very sweet ballad.

This classical version is lovelly too, what i really like it that harp. Although to me it sounds like the background music is somewhat overwhelming the vocals in terms of volume..

The Gift isn't a bad song, but it feels more along the lines of what some F list jpop girl like Yuna I to would sing. I do love the piano in the intro though ♡

I just really hate how that chorus trails off with

"E-I-E-N-Niiiiiiiiii~"

the GIFT is weird. I wish the rest of song had maintained the gentleness of the verses. When she starts belting... ugh.

The GIFT is the only song on A ONE that I always skip. Starts off nicely, but turns into something very boring quickly.
