The song is gorgeous. And really, REALLY good. It reminds me of Goodbye & Good luck! but more sentimental, if that makes sense.

 

But after seeing Tsunku tweet he wrote a song in honor of Ayaka, I can't help but be so upset she's not getting better treatment. I will take that song as a digital single, in a mini, a Pucchi Best, like WHY is the office not hyping up this graduation? This is the current leader of H!P and has been around for over 10 years. It's ridiculous.

 

 

I love Maro, and I get why she got a solo for her graduation. She had been around for 10+ years and was a popular member.

 

So why is Ayaka, who joined the same time as Maro and has been around LONGER, who has been I think the leader longest of any H!P group ever, getting just a A-side dedicated to her and not one to HERSELF? If anything, ANGERME should release their long overdue album with the concept center as Ayaka, and with a solo for her. She deserves more.

 

 

I feel like everyone agrees with this (The fact that Ayaka deserves a big graduation), so why is the office just not doing anything?

There's still time for a album release though. They could pull a Berryz and put their real graduation song on the album.

[Laharle]

I felt a bit underwhelmed. I think the dancebreak was fun and sweet, but I felt the song is too bland. TF did a similar song recently that was amazing. I even feel JJ's G&G sounds more catchy.

I feel Dawa deserves more currently, but yeah, this^.

I’m not sure if it’s because I’m already emotional but I’ve only listened to the song twice and I got goosebumps and tears in my eyes. I think it’s the perfect song to go out on for Ayacho.

[honeyharunanfan]

I like it, it's very bittersweet. Maro did great with the lyrics, and I find the MV very suitable too. I expected Ayacho to go out with a solo though, but I like Yume Mita 15 nonetheless. Hopefully there will be an album release before her graduation too, including that song Tsunku supposedly wrote for her graduation.

I love the lyrics and the concept... but I don’t like the song itself so much. Ballads are very hit or miss for me as I’m not the type to enjoy generic ballads (especially generic idol ballads) - these types of songs have to have something special about them for me to love them. This song is just too generic and it’s nothing special, it sounds like any other basic ballad. Nothing special about the instrumental or the melody and flow of the song. The only truly wonderful thing about it for me is the lyrics but it’s otherwise just too basic. And considering it’s Ayacho’s grad, it shouldn’t be basic. This was the first H!P single I’ve been closely following and looking forward to since C-ute’s graduation... and so far it’s underwhelming for me too, and that’s a shame because it’s such an important single. I don’t think we’ll ever see another H!P member that sticks around the way Ayacho did... that starts off as a mere trainee and 15 years later is still the leader of the group she debuted in and is also the leader of all of H!P. For such a legacy and for everything she’s been through and put up with, she really should have a better single than this. So far Berikyuu both got a lot more than this and Ayacho outlasted them and deserves at least the same amount.

[Gabby]

Ayacho is right at the same mark Momochi was though. Momochi left on her 15th anniversary as a H!P kid. And Ayacho will be leaving on her 15th anniversary as a Haro Pro Egg.

Oh but Tsunku wrote a song for her I#m lowkey expecting an album to be the actual send-off

[Punkin]

^^ I see what you mean about the tenure, but I was talking more about her position in H!P - Momo didn’t become a leader of H!P or anything like that so she doesn’t have the same “started from the bottom and now at the top” legacy, nor was she the leader of the group she debuted in for her entire tenure. Also, comparing her to Momo proves my point more because Momo easily got one of the best send-offs in H!P history, Ayacho should get the same treatment considering their tenure is the same amount.

[Gabby]

But look at momo's last single? She got next to NO focus besides a opening line in PBJL. What she did get was a album. There's still time for Angerme to release a album. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the Album at the opening of their hall part of the tour. 

 

[midnightbottle]

Maybe it's just me, but I was kind of hoping something bigger to celebrate Ayacho's graduation like an album or something...

 

Same. Even though Ayaka was never my fav member, but she deserves a better graduation treatment. I do believe an Angerme's album is on the horizon. What way to commemorate the end of the era with one of the longest H!P group leader, she deserves an album send-off with a solo song/MV attached.

Same here 

I like the lyrics especially Maro wrote them. You really can see how special this lyrics are for Ayaka.    But the song itself has no stamina for me...

maybe later it will grow on me

 

Well maybe they will, finally, pull out an Album release or Ayaka getting a solo on this release (B-Side)??? Nethertheless it would be a shame to let this important member go like this...

[mizukingdom1]

Maro only got a solo song because she wrote it HERSELF otherwise I don't think she would've gotten much as well.

 

I'm pretty sure there's going to be an album with a solo song for Dawa. They are long overdue for one and it's probably going to be a best of album with all the songs from the very start to now.

 

As for the MV and dance, I love it, it's so sweet and nice.

 

But yeah the arrangement of the song is a bit bland but the lyrics by Maro made up for it.

Hope for her graduation concert when they do sing this song it will be an acoustic version or something...

[Lalalaalala]

i'm not a fan of ballads but i cried

 

 It's not the song tho, it's the girls i love them so much aaaaaaaaaa

 

...ok it's the song a lil bit too

[Miryoku]

I remember Ayacho saying that Meimi was really lucky to have a Tsunku song for her graduation, so I wish her song was by Tsunku too...

[Kahla81]

^
Her song was written by Kanon Fukuda

[IchVermisseDenSommer]

^The lyrics. The composition was by Iijima Ken

[Gabby]

To be fair I don't think Tsunku does much more than write lyrics now a days. 

[Nayok-Kihara]

^ Tsunku still actively composes, it's just that the majority of it isn't for H!P groups.

[Gabby]

AH you're right I thought he stepped back a bit with H!P once he came out about his cancer. (I see he did the Composition for Kitto watashi wa too)
