The song is very beautiful, and the cover is cool. Soon I will preorder.

The covers are simply pretty~
She's definitely more mature looking without the straight bangs across, I wouldn't say "old lady" either :P

Meh. Not that my opinion counts for much, but this song and video do nothing for me. Just not my type of music, I guess. Oh well -- at least it sounds like Maaya had fun with it.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the song (it's a little samey) but I love, love, love the shots in front of the dressing room mirror and the curtain. Oh, and the band. They look like fun :lol:

So, yay for the way her videos are getting better. But nay on the DOWN TOWN song itself.

Maybe if I'd grown up with the song I'd like it better...

*watches PV* :odd: :o :odd:
That was certainly.... interesting. Can't say it was good or bad, just different. Maaya did look very cute in the PV though. :)

I don't like the song too, but she's grown into a beautiful lady.


Kanashikute yarikirenai is wonderful, I love those kind of songs, her voice is so pure *___*

[quote="Tomosaka"]People in 2channel said, "she became a kind of old lady." :( [/quote]

duuuude im goin to punish them.

in that vid she looks like the asian marilyn monroe.
thats a big compliment for ms monroe!

but that band smoked stones or something idk...
cannot take that song too seriously & that is good.
trying to take it easy - came at the right time.

just good to know that she keeps rockin :)

[quote="ilcloud"]and it feels too glamorous for me....[/quote]

I think this is the word I was looking for. It's glamorous, glitzy, and kind of gaudy too -- three words I really don't care for. I hope this isn't the start of a trend. I suppose Maaya is like every other girl in that she likes to be Cinderella at the ball every once in a while, but she got this far being Cinderella at home (in the sense that she has patiently and quietly worked these last 15 years). Does she really need to change that now that she's 30? Something tells me that trying to boost her sex appeal like this is not the best course for her to follow.
