Wake me up is the song that everyone who likes the fierce side of Ayu was waiting. With a great energy and a combination of elements that flows very well.
Sweet scar imo is the track of this mini, mysterious, with great vocals, a perfect chorus ending in a slow track yet nothing like her ballads.
snowy kiss is a great surprise, nothing like a winter ballad as everyone was waiting for, it's very chaotic, unpredictable. My only complain is about its lenght and the sudden ending. It should be shorter.
Ivy is nice, not the greatest thing ever, maybe it's a grower. It's a perfect ballad for the japanese public I think. It does look a bit pale in comparison with the others, but still, it's pretty good.
this is exactly how i feel about it! "Ivy" is the only track on there that sounds like a legitimate, typical Ayu song, while the rest are really different for her. i do agree that "snowy kiss" should be shorter, because there's a point around the middle where there's this instrumental break and all i thought was "why are you here, just END" but idk. i still like that the best out of the other tracks on the mini.

again is basically more original and interesting than anything she's done in a while for me. Love songs is probably the last release she's had that impressed me this much.
