glitter / fated [Jacket A / CD+DVD] Customer Reviews

I enjoy listening to Giltter.Certainly cheers you up when you're down. Whereas for fated,Its a sad song but I still like it. Great Job Ayu. Asia is one!

Absolutely gorgeous single from Ayumi-san! The three songs are all stellar, and the videos for "glitter" and "fated" are beautiful and clever in the way they inter-link to tell a chapter-by-chapter star-crossed-lovers story, with Ayumi-san in the title role, of course!

'glitter' is a catchy, upbeat song, as opposed to the relaxing BLUE BIRD and the semi-dark fairyland. 'fated' is a heart-wrenching rock ballad, with lyrics and a composition capable of drawing tears from any listener. Overall, a stunning duo that proves that Hamasaki's still got it.

This time Ayu brings to us a nice summer song as every year, but this time the DVD will bring a short movie as Video Clips for both a-sides, and plus a hit song from her previous Album as b-side.

the songs on this single are great, but it's the short movie that really stands out. I've never cried from a music video, but this really hit me. Good job.

i like this Glitter/Fated single...more than Blue Bird. I find that Glitter doesn't take a long time for it to grow in me. Same goes to Fated..i really like Fated. Just curious why Ayu's single sales isn't that good in Japan...i think her songs are okay (although it's not as good as her old songs) on par with Utada's...

When you listen to the two songs, "Glitter" and "Fated" first, you just think: "This is some Ayu's again". Far from being her best work - she did well with "Jewel- Mementum", the music, and the chorus is really dull. The words, though, are worth Ayu's good try, but I do think she should compose herself more often. She did good things, as CREA. She still does. Yet I watched the dvd: wonderful! The 2 songs are made for the film, and are sublimated by the film. I've got that feeling that, like "Voyage" is linked with "Tsuki no shizumu", the 2 songs alone are dull, while they are so strongly linked with the Promotional Film that you shouldn't listen to them without watching it. These songs fit Ayumi's interpretation, a really nice interpretation. These songs are nothing without the film, and the film would have no sense if it were not highlighted by the songs! If you buy Ayu's single, you'd better have to buy the cd/dvd ones. Indeed, unlike other singers, her dvd is not just a simple PV, but it tends to be, more and more, an essential part of her art. Ayu remains the best!

I can't tell you how much I love the song and the videos. I think this is one CD that you must buy it with the CD. The leading man is HK actor/singer Shawn Yue. It is heartwarming, and I simply love it.

This single is almost like B&D(Bold&Delicious)/Pride with much more energy and emotion at the same time. "glitter" is a very upbeat and happy music with a very cheerful lyrics while "fated" is the "slow-down" tune to the previous track with a touching lyrics. It comes with a DVD which contains a short movie for the two main songs of this single. OVERALL: its one of my favorite single(before B&D) and it was my first Ayu CD! I really like this when I hear it for the very first time. Its worth buying and shipment here is so fast! ^^, Thanks CDJapan!!! ;-)

''glitter'' is the typical summerish song with a fresh and dance tune like ''fairyland'' or ''BLUE BIRD'' and ''fated'' is a really good ballad. The single includes the title-track from her latest album ''Secret'', a very nice ballad. The PVs are connected in a mini-film which talk about a sad love story ...

Ayu's back with a new single featuring two brandnew tracks for this summer. While 'glitter' is a perfect summer tune with a cheerful melody, 'fated' is a lovely ballad with really touching lyrics. The third track 'Secret' should be known to fans from her last studio album of the same name. This version also comes with a DVD which features the short glitter/fated movie 'Distance Love' which makes this version more than worth buying. Highly recommened!

These are the songs that are to be on this cd!!!!! 1.glitter 2.Fated 3.secret 4.Glitter instrumental 5.fated instrumental
