I don't mind the noiseness of it. The noise actually reminded of shiina ringo which I like. (awaits for people saying how shina's "noises" in the songs are so much better because anything new ayu releases has to be imediately considered crap or be heavily criticized nowadays)
I thought the song was great!

That wasn't necessary.

I didn't find her noise in the Tokyo Jihen album tracks all that great myself.

I didn't think the Tokyo Jihen album was too noisy though... I found her older albums to be much more noisy. I prefer her previous albums to the Tokyo Jihen one even so (they have better songs). Well my comments were more of a rant and yep rants are unnecessary (but I can rant can't I? )

Haha okay, I'd better not talk anymore or I'll steer this into a Shiina Ringo thread.

I have to say I don't like it any more now than when I first heard the preview. It still sounds a bit messy, Ayu's voice is drowned out by the music. I think I'll be skipping this song quite often when I listen to the album.

Yes, it does have a messiness and noisiness to it......but I just love the shear weirdness of it. It sounds pretty different for an Ayu song.

You know...I like everything about this song! Heck, I think it'll be one of my favorite tracks and I reallllly kind of wish it were a full song instead of just an intro! It's so...spacey and pretty I think, and I actually enjoy the noisiness of it too. Her voice is a little drowned out, but that is intentional as its just an intro and part of the effect, if that makes sense. But yeah...I LOVE it!

And she does say "catcher" doesn't she??? I really want to know what she is saying.

I didn't like the first part, was too loud, but I liked the rest of it. I like the full version better than the preview

Noisy at first, but I like it.

Kinda reminscent of "Neverending Dream" instrumental stuff, which I like, except there's a bit more singing. At times however it just seems they're putting a lot of sound effects together to try and create some kind of effect... lol.

It's neat. It's got a nice style for not being exactly a song but more of an intro song. I rather like it. It's got a peaceful feel.. you'd listen to it while reading or studying. She introduced quite a nice mixture in the album.
