This is Ayaka’s latest single. It’s a ballad done in a very acoustic style unlike Mikazuki and I Believe which are stronger ballads by comparison. This is a more subtle one, which i quite like. The guitar is pretty pleasing as well. I don’t think it did too well on the Oricon but sometimes when you think what’s playing on those charts…..

I’ve tried on a few occasions to ’sample’ these songs, but boy oh boy, do they stink! I did sample Mikazuki which was a number one hit, and it was agreeable with my taste. I’ve come to know Ayaka as a singer who excels in songs that proclaims inner strength…you know, ganbatte kinda songs, you can do it, no matter what happens…kinda songs. I’m not saying it’s pathetic, but she is really good at it. She did this ‘Tears in Heaven’ by Eric Clapton song with jazz singer, Shigeko Suzuki (who sounds like she’s singing at her own funeral, by the way.), and it was pretty good…Catch it on YOUTUBE.

You see the lyrics of Tears of Heaven…”I must be strong and carry on”. See? I’m not kidding…she’s just good at it. Well, enough of my nothin-to-do observations, like always, enjoy
