This may be really nitpicky, but... do it again. The similar-ish title, preview of the lyrics ("dance, dance, dance do it again, sing, sing, sing do it again") and Tetsuya Komuro being the composer immediately made me think it would be something alike to globe's "get it on now": a lovely, subdued, warm, relaxing piece of pop music. And then I hear the actual song: a dark, powerful midtempo track. Needless to say, not quite what I expected. I don't think it's a bad song, but I still don't like it because it wasn't what I WANTED it to be. I think this is a perfect case to show how expectations can turn terribly against you. I don't blame Ayu, Tetsuya Komuro or Yuta Nakano for this disappointment; I can only blame myself for setting up unnecessary, misleading, baseless expectations that ruined the song for me. At least that case taught me to tone down speculation-filled anticipation for releases.
