I agree. I just wish we could have heard it a little more clearly over the talking but I liked what I could hear.

listening from this longer preview

i like the melody. sweet melody

It doesn't sound all that exciting.

Same as before, kind of like Sweet Season just a bit better so far. I'm just glad that most of the album won't be like this because of the single and the known producers songs, and we won't have another LOVE x with it.

I think that it's kind of a problem for us foreign fans that the japanese audience wants ballads and cute songs or mid tempos, no renovations, no producers (they don't even care probably), but I'm glad that ayu does it anyway.

cant get anything out of that preview except "Hello new me, hello new me" LOL

i think i'm gonna like the song..not my fav, but i like it

:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2 aaaah I really like what I'm hearing. It sounds different from her others ballads. Really refreshing.

I'm usually really critical about her ballads AND her cute songs, but this sounds nice to me ! I'll probably end up playing it on repeat for a while and enjoying it a lot as a concert ender ahaha !

i tried my best to listen to it again. it sounds very encouraging and uplifting :)
looking forward!

"Atarashii watashi" still means new me, doesn't it?

The longer preview sounds better.

Yet I'm afraid this song will get the boring/lazy arrangement treatment à la LOVE again.

Ooh it sounds gorgeous

It's not really for me. By this point, I'm looking for more sophisticated arrangements from her. I don't really like her voice lately. That's weird, isn't it, since I know it's better than it has been before, I just don't think the melodies show off how pretty her voice can be. They try hard at it though.

Anyways, I know Japanese people eat up songs like this, so I hope they do.

Yes. I think she's done this with some other songs as well.

Oh, don't you worry... There are tons of choices for the new album's title:

Feel the Merry-go-round

Merry-go-round the love

Feel the love Merry-go-round Pray

Pray the go-round Feel

Feel the Merry-go-Pray

Pray-go-round the love

It can, realistically, be any one of those still.

EDIT: I'm going to laugh my ass off if the title is something like, "A Song for LOVE", "LOVEgain", "Lovely", "I LOVE...", "LOVEBOW", "MY LOVE STORY", "(love)derstood", "Lovelet", "LOVE ~Guilty~", "NEXT LOVE", "Rock'n'LOVE Circus", "LOVE loves ~LOVE~", "LOVE again ~once again~"...

Not in this universe.

This sounds like something left over from "LOVE again"
Really not enjoying it

LMFAO I died :roflmao

Well, I do agree it does sound like something from LOVE again.
I enjoy the verses though (or what I can make of it anyway)!
The chorus is gunna take some warming up to..

LOVEBOW sounds pretty nice though. But I still hope she'll exclude the world "love".
