What do you think of How Beautiful You Are?

You don't know, You don't know how beautiful you are...


My take:
I am really loving it.
The ending is particularly beautiful and uplifting, with the uptake on high notes.
It gives off an "end of concert celebration" feel, great composition.
The strings at the end are a nice touch.

Two things:
- The vibrato is back.
- Verryyy slight Timmy chanting towards the end done quite well

I love it! I love it so much

I hope I'll see it live some day so I can burst out of crying And I honestly love her vocals here. I'm happy she sounds like she used to some time ago *.* though it's obvious she's more mature now.

And it's a shame this is not a physical single release. I'd buy it, no doubt.

i really love it.

i think the ending is beautiful (which i've thought since the live version came out)

the first verse is a bit weak in my opinion, but the rest works fine for me.

[Corvina]

Song is ok. Doesn't really feel it, but that happens with a lot of Ayu's ballads. hbya isn't bad though, just boring.
I do like the ending, apart the last note, the "kana" sounds bad.
And I agree with the first verse being weaker. I also hear her cute voice there, idk.

[setsuka]

gorgeous covers, boring song

I didn't like the snippet or the live so I am not surprised the studio did nothing for me,my main problem is the English chorus is so blah

[sanzo2011]

it's good! not really great but a ton better than the live version!^^!

[YUKARI]

I can't stop listening to this song... so beautiful

[PoetGirl]

such a beautiful song, sounds like classic. made me emotional. I love how it evolves towards the end.

[terra]

The song is beautiful, I love how Timmy made the music arrangements

[Kazeyomi]

I love it

The studio version brings much more beauty to the song imo.
The live one was nice, but the studio version it's absolutely stunning.
I love how Timmy arranged the song, it sounds like her old ballads to me but it's kinda new at the same time. Sorry, I don't know to explain it so well .
Her voice is lovely and doesn't sound weak or too much stressed like on Love songs. Maybe she try too much to sound cute sometimes, but it's ok and her engrish sounds so cute lol.

Before it was out (digital single), I used to watch the "Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi" interview clips on repeat for the purpose of listening to the full-length studio version. It is a beautiful ballad and like most of you I like how it evolves towards the end. My favorite part is at the 2:10~2:40 mark where it slowly starts to build up its pace.

[TeamAyu2004]

its really good! i like it

[HanabiChick]

I love it, but I usually like Ayu's ballads anyway. I'm going to have "you don't know, you don't know how beautiful you are" stuck in my head now, which is a good thing

[channy]

Curtain call, meaning of Love, beloved, how beautiful you are ZZzzZZZzzzzz

Last ballads that were good: Together When... and You were..., in my opinion.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

sounds gorgeous, much better than beloved

[tenshi no hane]

I don't really like it. I dislike the way her voice sounds, the song itself sounds like something I've heard before and the lyrics don't really appeal to me either.

But it's nice to see that many people do love the song

[isthisLOL?]

Her vocals are not AS good as on FIVE(except for progress) but it's still one of the best studio vocals of her career, so happy about that!
The song itself is not a masterpiece but a really nice ballad. The most important thing is the mix I think, it's just very detailed and clear. It sounds like it may be David Reitzas work.
The melody is highly western and I like the small gospel influence with the backings at the end.
Would be a 4/5 for me.

[RayJason]

I really like her vocals in this song! The arrangement is awesome, and I like the male choir too (was that Timmy?). The only things I can complain about is her Engrish. I hoped that they would have edit the 'beodyfull' to 'beautifull', but that's just me.

[emi♡]

beautiful vocals, ew vibrato but it wasnt tooo crazy, weird composition in the beginning but pretty.

I dont care for the first chorus, but I very much love how the song builds up. Im over the english after cdl performance.

I feel that while the song is super sweet, the composition makes it interesting and not boring. Yey for no sweet season part 2.

Her vocals are so mature sounding, its interesting. Like not just that it isnt her higher voice, but it reminds me.more of like, her regular talking voice..idk. Timmys part is here, weird but interesting sound *_*

So emotional ^^; I think I prefer the live, but that wasnt too bad. And I kinda like how it was over quickly. Like, I didnt get a chance to get sick of it

....at least it felt quick I thought it was like 3 mins lol oops.

3.7/5 Its got a weird sound lol I like that.

[JackieRos]

I don't like ballads at all and this is no different but is an ok song.
