I love the you & me remixes!
I haven't heard them before, so they're new to me.
TBH it would have been better if Ayu snuck You & Me on here instead. It would not fit in at all, but its so weird to have the instrumental without the original.

Catfisk 3rd November 2012 10:30 PM

Really love it!
Can't wait to have my own copy *-* And this makes me excited for the other minis as well (:

The vibrato isn't over the top, I remember listening to GUILTY and just wanting to stop because the amount of vibrato was ridiculous but this is nice because she isn't trying to be a ~diva~.

Her voice is nice in this album. Really great on Song 4 u, although overall that song is such a bore. Missing is nice, I will replay that one - probably too much seeing as it's the only one I crave to listen too. I'll await again.

Melody actually became my favorite song of the album. It's probably gonna become my holiday song this year... haha

It is definitely a single! Avex surely has their reasons why they want to avoid a 51st single so bad.

I like Missing's remix name: 'Dubscribe' :laugh

It's a pretty good mini-album, I'm curious for the next one.

Dubscribe and BROKEN HAZE are DJ names. You can find more of their work on Soundcloud!

It's from the Tales of Xillia 2 soundtrack. There are two versions of Song 4 u in instrumental 'arrange' form in the game. (No vocals)

Melody is being -so- underrated right now... it's not even funny.

LeeLeeNeko 4th November 2012 01:16 AM

Ah ! I can't wait to know again's tracklist now.
I actually like how "Song 4 u" sounds, because it slowly builds up to the epic chorus, but still it feels kinda unfinished to me somehow.

truehappiness 4th November 2012 01:18 AM

I think progress would have been about the same length as Song 4 u if there were no ballad intro. I like it the way it is, though it does seem a bit short for Ayu. One of her shortest songs from the last 4-5 albums for sure.

LeeLeeNeko 4th November 2012 01:28 AM

Yeah dunno, I just wanted my epic guitar solo, the amazing bridge, and a climax in the last chorus. :laugh
It would've been even more ayu-generic but I always LOVE (lol) her pop-rock tracks anyway !

KPL 4th November 2012 01:32 AM

guys just wait for the concert-edition next year to get the epic guitar solo.

JackieRos 4th November 2012 01:47 AM

I really didn't think they were going to re use photos for the booklet :thud

jyujiw 4th November 2012 01:08 AM

Song 4 u full version doesn't seem short at all. It's just strange the bridge after the first chorus, kinda feeling the copy&paste effect that is the short youtube version + tales of xillia. But I think this is a impression that will pass.

Missing is really good, really. But I still have mixed feelings about that sudden break in the ending. It doesn't give the feeling of... artistic thing, you know, seems like an error in the music. I hope the PV changes my mind.

Melody is lovely, I can't see the "filler" point that some are talking about. It sounds like a mix of Last Links + Sweet Season for me. I adore it. Don't love it, but it's good anyway. I will probably catch myself singing it without notice :P

The orchestra version seems generic but it's great tbh. Remixes... bleh.

But in overall, I'm really happy to see a new release of Ayu, and in a pretty good quality, she never really disappointed me but... I miss her so much.

Now, I want a experimental sound + winter ballad in "again"

JackieRos 4th November 2012 01:22 AM

no one has the full pvs right?

Thank you so much for clearing this up for me! I really love this "arrange" version, almost as much as Song 4 u.

About Missing though, I don't like the sudden pause and boom somewhere past midway in the song. Melody really surprised me, I thought that I was going to dislike this song because it was yet another ballad, but its actually really different and soothing to hear. Her vocals are also superb in all these tracks.

:yes

I love Melody so much! :love

Zeke. 4th November 2012 03:03 AM

I like Last Links. I love Sweet Season.

Melody's chorus by the preview seemed nice. It still is nice I believe (only listened once). But the verses are not so interesting. I will have to listen again but yeah...

Kirshwasser 4th November 2012 03:07 AM

yeah... melody is now my favourite. when i first listened to it i thought it was meh.. boring.. but now..i really like it !

Delicious n Bold 4th November 2012 03:12 AM

You knowwwwwww
I kinda sorta maybe slightly somewhat a touch wanna take back everything bad I said about Melody. I kinda sorta maybe slightly somewhat a touch like it.
