Everything in high quality is just wow. The arrangements are so superb! I knew I got taskebab~tasuku vibes from Wake me up.
IMO, I feel like Sweet scar is a song that would definitely have been released by any Ayu at any point in her career which is a good thing since she's changed so much but it's definitely a 'quintessential' Ayu sound, it's just unfortunate that it came out now when a lot of people are like "MEH UNSURE" because it's 2012 and not 2002.
snowy kiss is still awesome. It's been a while since we had a song like this really in a sea of medium-ish tracks. A shame that it may go underappreciated.
Ivy is surprising in full. Vocally, I wish she went a bit deeper.
I think these minis are what happen when Ayu condenses her 'albums' into little bites since I could see entire 'arcs' forming from each track. There's the arc that Wake me up ends up in, there's the arc with Sweet scar and ballads/slow tracks, there's the snowy kiss crazy!insanity arc where she's screaming at everything, and then there's the short Ivy 'ending' tracks like untitled ~for her~ and such.
