Somehow the actual song is just... amazing even though this is just a part of it. (we heard most of the remix beforehand) Anyway, I LOVE IT and I think a lot of other fans may love it as well. I saw some translations of the lyrics from the remix and it seems she uses a sand castle metaphor for most of the song? Lyrically, this may be one of her more interesting tracks of late for most people. It sounds like a tasuku arrangement to me, but I'm not 100% sure.

Rather refreshing sounding and unlike much of what she's released before. (which is the case for a lot of the tracks lately imo) Not entirely sure what the source is though... USEN? Radio? Hope a Chinese fan can elaborate on this.

thanks for this!
really like the preview and hunting through that forum was a nightmare!

thanks for sharing :)
the preview is so amazing!

Who is this new composer from the UK?! I hope she asks him to contribute to future releases. Arrangement is no less incredible.

Ayu sounds a bit airy and dreary at times
But the instrumentation is fire

Thought this was going to PV preview :(

I wonder why they didn't just reveal who it was from the start? Haha~

I love it! <333

So far I love it!

Sounds good so far and still sounds very "ayu".
I like the retro beats.

Here is a longer preview.

I love it so much

lol it actually looks like it's a whole song xD I am liking it! I'm loving the beat...!

wow sounds good ^-^ definitely looking forward to my copy

^
^ I think it's just 1:40 preview twice + some remix parts

so wake me up is a full song?

this isn't full version. It's 1,20+ preview looped 2x + remo-con remix fragments.

It's NOT the full song, just the small preview + cuts from the remix! :P

EDIT : Oops pepper already confirmed it ^^;

it's not hard to hear it, since remo-con fragments are HQ since the rest is LQ XDDDDD

I like the song but the end that sounds too much as a remix. >.<

this is a remix (remo con one) it's just a mashup from everything we have.

finally something i can really be excited for!
it always takes ayu so long to make something with a good amount of "oomph", but finally this is a song with a good drive. so refreshing after aaaall those ballads... :p

so is not a full song, I mean like the original song?

Oh.. I thought, this is the original version. (^_^)''' Than I made a mistake...

Ugh I love this

Maybe it was composed by Timmy and they don't want to reveal it until the mini's out to prevent any unnecessary negativity coming from the fans who do not like him?

This thread is for the original song, just not the full thing. (the original links in the first post) You should edit your post and remove the link to that 'short version' so no one gets confused. The preview we got before was the remix and it was about 4 minutes long which

^-- THIS POST DOES NOT HAVE NOT A REAL CUT OF THE SONG. IT'S THE REMIX WITH THE SHORT PREVIEW LOOPED and is called "Wake me up" YouTube Short Version or something. I personally don't understand why people on YouTube want to fool others into thinking that they have an 'official short version'... why not just say that it's a 'fake' full version? In Japan, they call those "FULI" versions.

It's not by him. He said it wasn't anyway.

So it's really the original? I'm loving it.

Thank you! I like what I'm hearing

loving this so far~!!

that fanmix actually sounds pretty nice....

wake up, wake up!!

Sounds really good so far, some parts remind me of Rule. I think it could have fit in with the other songs on NEXT LEVEL

^I agree, like Wake me up. Snowy Kiss...I need to hear more!

I'm LOVING this song so far! Excited to hear the full version!

I wonder when this will leak, since the release date is a Saturday...I'm so anxious!

Thank you!
I like it!

I have this and Sweet Scar on repeat haha

love it! not a new sound for her, but still seems fresh.

I'm really loving this

OHhh Geez, this is her best song after a while. I missed her upbeat song. the last one is Mirrorcle World that I really like. great job Ayu

It's amazing!! I'm really hype at how Ayu is getting everything right since the release of LOVE :) Love love love the track

I like how it sounds so far, I hope the full version is a long track - this is so dancey :D

I love wake me up!!!
very uplifting

this song is NEXT LEVEL style hitting RnRC style.

NL + RnRC = Gold

Ayu, you prove it.

The song really does have an aggressive (Sparkle-like) mood to it.

Im hooked. Ayu needs more kickass/aggressive songs like these.

definitely one of the best new songs

I would say NL + Party Queen. (or sth that would fit (m)u or Secret)

Love, love the beginning and the first verse!
But I don't know, the chorus sounds awkward...
Hm, let's see how the full thing turns out.

That works too. Anyway this song has certain elements that ayu has used before. Perfect for celebration.

Not too keen on the 'Wake-up-wake-up' part but the rest sounds amazing. Looking forward to hearing the real thing
