This mini is amazing...

ayumi has done it again.
Im in LOVE with this mini.

QFT

true that.
I'm a ittle put off by snow kiss and its length... I love the song, although I think Ivy is the stand out track, it just seems too long.

snowy kiss is too long. thats the only my complaint about the mini. the rest is flawless.

Ivy is my favorite! WOW! What a powerful and beautiful song!

What a flawless mini. I'm in tears.

this is a really good mini... the happiest I have been since Love Songs.

This is what ayu was... the real queen of pop.

It could only have been better (IMO) if we had an album including these songs, Missing, you & me, song 4 u and melody.

Think about it, these last songs are incredible. Even though she has never lost what she is, we all have to admit that she is releasing much better music.

LOVE it AGAIN! :love:love:love

LOVE. again. A CLASSICAL. Queen of J-pop.

♥ i love what i'm hearing now

OMG this era is being EPIC
Wake Me Up is so cool, fierce, sexy and catchy!! I really love it. Nothing can replace the iconic and legendary Sparkle, but this is a REALLY good attempt
Sweet Scar is so beautiful. It is so calming, which some people might find boring, but that makes it really special. The arrangement is epic
Ivy is great. I was expecting something more original honestly, and not this. Still, the chorus is so ****ing amazing OMG. Im so impatient to read the lyrics.
snowy kiss is such a surprise. I was expecting a cute winter ballad, and we got this LOL. If there is a word to describe it is INTENSE. The arrangement is once again so amazing. It looks like a total grower, but i like it a LOT. The chorus is so catchy, i love it so much!!
Overall, this is such an strong release, im really impressed. 15 years later, she continues impressing me, she is a real music goddess

after hearing the full version of Wake me up, I would love for her to open her concert with this in the next tour!!
But by thenm we might have 2 more minis a single and an album, lol.

Each of the tracks on again has its unique flavour, but I feel that the potential success of both LOVE and again would increase if their tracks were combined to form an actual mini-album like Memorial address without the remixes and etc. Oh wells...

^ Exactly
But Avex wants to milk people, so they must have separated.
The 2 mini albums could combine together with no problem.

Wake me up - song of the album. Flawless arragments (it's not "rock" though according to information) catchy melody. Verses, bridges and chorus fits perfectly each other. I missed THAT song so much. Very powerful lyrics to cheer up dead. Amazing atmosphere and lyrics screaming "run for your life!". The only minus are her engrish, but I don't really care now. Score: 9,5/10 (-0,5 for engrish)

Sweet scar - I missed slow Ayu songs without cheesy ballad atmosphere. It feels diffrent from her "ballads". It's NOT a ballad. It's a slow song. Really touching arragment with violin. Lyrics are cheesy tough. LOVE-longing theme made it a little weaker. Still a strong song. As a "hardcore fast and rock Ayu song" i will give... Score: 8/10

snowy kiss: Props for not being a ballad and being a electro power track! I really like the chorus but verses (they are not bad though) DON'T fit dramatic chorus (they can't make their mind with arragment?) I reaaaly like MUSIC in this track. And + for not having a feeling that song is too long. I don't feel the lenght at all! I like the track, but as I said, there it lacks a sense of direction. It leave me with feeling this song could be better. I don't feel it like I feel Wake me up. I have same feelings for Return Road (but RR fits my taste better). Also minus that verses reminds me of Lady Dynamite... which is not a good thing. Score: 6,5/10

Ivy - there is a lot of things that make this song enjoyable. But still, it's a filler ballad... I REALLY like the "Ah...." in the beginning of the chorus. But after first listening I don't recall the melody... It's a warming song, but forgetable. Score: 5,5/10

Sweet scar is deffo THE MAIN track for me on this EP. snowy kiss is cool, but it's something she has tried before and has never failed. Ivy is nice and in a way different. It's interesting, it has yet to grow on me. Wake me up is so-so, it's alright & listenable, miles better than You & Me, but it's not as good as the other tracks.

i felt like sweet scar was the weak link for me.
its nice and sweet but a little bland with the other tracks on there.

over all this is an amazing mini and I NEED the remixes!

I need the PVs like..... NOW!!!

I wish Ivy had a PV as well.

It's AMAZING!

I think every song is unique on this mini and I that this is her best release in a long time!
