I think from the 3 new songs it goes.....for me:
1. Missing - amazing arangement, i love the piano and electric guitars. And that small jump from calm to RAWR was nice, very dramatic. Amazing track.
2. Melody - simple, but the melody just gets me, it's very nice and flowy. Plus i love Ayu's vocals. The arangement is profesional and for me it's full and bloosoms like a flower. I loved the guitar solo! And i think it builds kind of nicelly. I LOVE IT!
3. Song 4 you - it's good but i don't know....something doesn't click with me anymore lol It's good regardless! The intro is nice but not exactly my thing, i loved the ToX version intro more.

Her vocals are beyond amazing! I was already going nuts for vocals on PQ, but this is just pure heaven. It seems to flow so easily and it's relaxing, efortless. Her vibrato finally got to the right level, not too much or too fake it's just spot on perfect. She's great now!

as for remixes....
Song 4 you (orchestra) - the intro is beyond amazing....kind of drops too simple at the verse...but i love the entering of the violin and other strings. Expected for a bit stronger chorus but it seems to build up into something very intense as it goes into the violins on the second verse, gives this powerful feeling. But again drops kind of too calm for the chorus, but i love the variety of sounds that give the harmony. The ending is also epic. Not a bad version of orchestra but i've heard better!

Other remixes simply butchered the songs, it should be illegal to make remixes of such beautiful pieces, they don't diserve a place on the CD whatsoever, what a mess...Jesus...my ears are bleeding....SUE THEM D:

Over all i think the 3 songs are all strong in their own way. I think they could have totally go as singles on ther own. I really really really love the mini, though they should have not wasted time with those remixes, they're useless and crappy. They should use musicians to rearange them and give them new kind of mood and feeling instead of paying for some DJ for throwing the actual piece to the trashcan.
I think even tho I love Missing to death, Mellody gets me the most with it's melody, haha. Must be my fave on the piece!
YOU GO AYU!

P.S. it's so funny that i always end up in a minority if not the only one on the forum who ends up liking the most stuff everyone else say is borring....xD i love being different
