That -is- the arranger's job. Komuro really isn't at fault at all. His work on Love songs was fantastic and he arranged like one song out of the 9 or 10 he did for it. His arrangement for crossroad was not at all what we usually get from him (90's gar-bahge) so that was nice. The reason why Feel the love probably sounds so unlike Ayu is because it's DJ Hello Kitty's first production job. I wonder if they had them do the arrangement too since it doesn't feel like tasuku, CMJK, or Yuta. They seem to have started using that "sound production" thing that usually just means arranger or composer/arranger in the states.

-shrugs-

Composers just provide the melodies and such. With Ayu though, her team probably collaborates more than most. (aka Yuta probably asks tasuku or whatever to do certain things if he can compared to when she used Tell me why and they probably NEVER spoke to the original composers)

Impatience is so not fun. Things come when they come, plus we know that Ayu said Merry-go-round is coming soon so I'm just going to wait until it pops up on YouTube.
