Fly high “Vocal Track”
1. Fly high “HΛL’S MIX 2000″
Actually, it’s the closest remix off the single that uses the main version. The beginning is a bit different as it doesn’t open hardcore into the chorus. The song does sound more refined and the song changed around a little bit mostly with Ayu’s “rap” section. It’s just as good as the original if not better actually.
2. Fly high “SAMPLE MADNESS REMIX”
This remix is just odd as one. I mean at first there’s like brass opening and an interesting beat going on, but after the song goes all freaky and filled with night sound and synths and Ayu’s tweaked vocals. I’m not big fan of this remix as it’s not as memorable nor anything really makes me want to remember it either.
3. Fly high “Supreme Mix”
Ahhh the beat gets more aggressive as our next remix starts up and Ayu repeating ~It’s gonna~ over and over and over and it quickly annoys me to no end. This remix just drags the song to no end and I consider this the worst of the era easily. Nothing really happens, just a lot of repetition and by the time it gets to Ayu’s chorus, you just wanna press next.
4. Fly high “Acoustic Orchestra Version”
The unexpected happens when I saw that there’s a coveted version of Fly high on this single. Being the first of many of these tracks. It’s not a remix (thank god). They took the whole song’s arrangement, threw it in a trash and have a Orchestra playing the song. I thought this was what the singles previously released needed badly and I got to say this was definitely something awesome…plus it’s Fly high with strings!
5. Fly high “SHARP BOY’S U.K. VOCAL MIX”
Yeah, our next remix sounds IMO less interesting than the original as it has the same beats going on and sounds dry again. It actually just stayed at the same flow the entire time then add in the vocals and you basically got boredom. I’m not a fan of this track at all!
6. Fly high “Saturation Remix”
I’ll say this remix is a bit more edgier and more rock than anything off her last singles. It’s like how Nami Tamaki’s “Prayer” was remixed. So take a synth heavy track and just replace it with hard guitars and an overall metal sound and you get this remix and I kind of liked it until the chorus where it gets strange. Freaky remix, but cool.
7. appears “TW Club Mix”
appears gets its own remix (again) here and well it’s more or less anything special unlike the remixes back on it’s own single. It does sound nice as there’s a pretty smooth opening into the track which was basically the synths, sadly after she finishes her line the music gets into a club sound, but it doesn’t sound forced, it’s quite more comfortable than some past club remixes. Ok, so it’s better than I thought…hmmm
8. Fly high “Dub’s F Remix”
The next two tracks are so unbelievibly long it’s just outrageous. First off is another one of the dubbed mixes and well this is one is just way too long for my liking. I mean it does add things and Ayu starts singing about 3 minutes in…it’s just way too drawn out being almost 11 minutes in length.
9. Fly high -NON STOP Mix- “N.S DANCE MEGA MIX”
Would you believe that this track is longer than the last one borderlining 13 minutes? Yeah…I’m not sure why they credit this as a megamix when there’s clearly only one song being hit. I mean there’s changes in the song that’s frequest enough, but there’s so many different styles in the song and I don’t recognize one of them and it’s probably for the better.
10. kanariya “fake compilation”
I’m not sure why this has such a strange title to it. kanariya gets another remix, but sadly its a club track and it’s just as bad as the ones found on its respective single. I mean there’s a little touch of disco here and there and the bass is quite cool, but this otherwise sounds like another boring club track from here.
The last recut single of the era, Fly high was an amazing track from LOVEppears and to have it become a recut was a good idea if it wasn’t for the fact that it was the 2nd recut single. Fly high’s single didn’t have the main track like “kanariya’s” did, but then again it does have the longer length. Remixes were once again more misses, but a few stoof out and introduced us to the Acoustic Orchestra Versions which was a great idea to put out for fans. “appears” remix was pretty good while “kanariya’s” was just not needed. *phew I’m done with this era”
