Glad to see Ai's new single is selling well.
I just received my copy in the mail.
Per usual, the new songs are growing on me. Not my favorites, but I've definitely gotten both main tracks stuck in my head several times each.
I've resisted downloading the new version of Renai Shashin so as to leave *something* untouched for the arrival. Though I love the original, I really enjoy the new piano arrangement. It's not as dramatic as the single version, and less bittersweet. Very pleasant in its new, lighter tone.
I was most surprised by the new line of lyrics that were added!
Inserted before the last round of chorus:
Renai Shashin - Haru - wrote: あの頃のふたりを今春めぐり逢う
ano koro no futari wo ima haru meguri au
[roughly] When this Spring comes around, the couple of that time will meet [again]. It gives the tale an optimistic turn.
Perhaps it continues to parallel Ai's own love life...?
Did she maybe reunite with the guy for whom this was originally written?
Also to note:
Singing/reading along to PEACH, I found that the lyrics for the chorus are different from what I previously thought.
The second set of 'PEACH!' is actually supposed to be 'BEACH!,' and the third is 'PINCH!." Then it returns to 'PEACH!' one last time before the end (the PEACH, PEACH, PEACE bit).
If the above is a bit confusing, I'm going to post the 'corrections' to the lyrics thread here. |

@ zyzzyva
Yeah, I just listened to the spring version of Renai Shashin for the first time a few minutes ago, and I was kinda just zoning out until the new line of lyrics came up, and I was like, "Hey! This is new..." So thanks for the translation! It's nice how she made the song into something happier, and how you chose to view its meaning could be right.
It's a cute new rendition of the song and I like it.
That being said, I still like the original better, but that's just me.
And thanks for the corrections on the PEACH lyrics as well.  |

I thought she wrote the song for the movie "Tada, Kimi Wo Aishiteru/Heavenly Forest". Like..the director was so impressed with the song when he got it he had the title of the movie changed from just "HEAVENLY FOREST" to "Tada Kimi wo Aishiteru". |

| ^ yeah, I like her slower songs more. Like...a lot more. I usually can't stand her cutesy summer songs. (SMILY=OMG plz NNNOOOO) but I really like this one. Her voice isn't too high and cutesy in this one, and the lyrics are fun. SMILY hurt my ears and the lyrics were too cheesy for me. |

I just listened to the full PEACH / HEART single, and I love it! I really like listening to PEACH because it's summery, cutesy,upbeat, and happy feel. And HEART sounds really lovely and elegant. I love the chorus, bridge, and ending of the song. Renai Shashin -Haru- was surprising good. I really liked the piano and strings, and the bridge added an optimistic feel to the song.  |

| LOL, the hands kinda fit, but of course it will look weird since its her butt facing the front, after all. Good one for pointing it out though! |
