Electronic Dance Music is a very complicated and very broad genre. Ayu has had house remixes before, "house" does not have to be in the title to define it. HEAVEN (House Mix) is one I truly do love, but to me it doesn't sound as "housey" as other "house" remixes that do not have "house" in the remix title. It used to be "house" was a more "funky" genre - had influences from disco. But now with electro house, it's become harder to define. For me, house = monotonous. Less life. Less creativity. Less emotion. That's what I get from it and that's how I characterize it. Hard to describe, you just know when you hear it.
And yes, the HOUSE Megamix on LOVEppears Disc 2 included a lot of "house" remixes. Most of which I hated but some of the mixes they used I actually started to like.
