Endless sorrow -Instrumental-
1. Endless sorrow
I’m surprised Ayu is keeping with this rockish mood for the era because Endless sorrow is definitely another grand song from Ayu. It’s also a song that sounds relatively sad and vocally one of Ayu’s strongest songs and I quite like that. Especially with the high notes she hits in the bridge. I think it might be her most powerful song yet…then again “M” is a hard song to pass. Love Endless sorrow
2. vogue “Kirari Natsu Ayu Mix”
While it has been a while since we’ve seen a vogue remix. Anyhow, this remix gives vogue a rather sweet R&B style and it has harp, and acoustic guitar and of course those ever so needed beats. It’s pretty and the various sounds of nature do help the song sound so light and cute. Not a bad remix.
3. Endless sorrow “Natural Green Dub Mix”
I thought by her last single “NEVER EVER” that there wasn’t going to be a worse remix…but here we are with this rather icky remix for Endless sorrow. It sounds like it’s in a factory and the spacey synths really just don’t do anything for me and sounds like it’s purposely dragging. Very bad remix.
4. Endless sorrow “nicely nice skyblue remix”
At least the next remixes remedies that trainwreck by sounding upbeat and easy to dance to. I thought it was kind of cool that they made Endless sorrow this way and for the most part it came out nicely. Though I didn’t like when they messed with Ayu’s vibrato…that was bad. Otherwise, it’s a good remix with an upbeat nature hiding sad lyrics lol.
5. NEVER EVER “Dub’s Uncategorized Mix 001”
I don’t think there’ll be an exactly good remix for NEVER EVER and it showed through the last single and with this remix. The vocals just do not match the remix’s space-ish theme. Even with Ayu’s vocals being filtered didn’t help at all. Pass this remix.
6. Endless sorrow “Ram’s Advance Mix”
One of the worst remixes on the single, Ram’s Advance was just filler because it really didn’t feature much of the song and when it did, it was just only bits and pieces which made it that more annoying. I was like…is this over yet? and saw the almost 8 minute time and I was like done with it.
7. Endless sorrow “Brent Mini’s gothic mix”
Wow, I actually kind of liked the dark glow for our next remix of the A-side. It’s dark and Ayu’s voice fits nicely in the song, although it’s covered up by the arrangement a lot of the time. That is until the chorus where she gets loud and her vocals are filtered once again. Not too bad of a remix.
8. Endless sorrow “Liquid Heart Mix”
So this remix has a rather nice summer feel going for it and for the most part I really liked that but once again hated that Ayu was being easily overpowered by the music. Not much really happens since the song doesn’t fully go anywhere, but at least it’s nice and slow.
9. Endless sorrow “Juicy Ariyama Mix”
Kind of starting a little like the original, this remix goes up being a club mix and I don’t mind it here much because it’s faster and has a pretty sound going. It’s like some of her older remixes but actually done right.
I liked Endless sorrow as the main song because it’s one of Ayu’s most powerful songs…but all the remixes felt rather weak to me. Maybe she needs better remixers like right now…or just drop them now x.x
