Ayumi Hamasaki's first new single in three years "Feel the Love/Merry-go-round" will be on sale this Xmas! "Feel the Love" is the first track ever produced by the acclaimed DJ Hello Kitty!!
The first single since "L" was released in September 2010, "Feel the Love/Merry-go-round", will be on sale from December 25.
Her nationwide arena tour of Japan, in celebration of her 15th anniversary this April, was a smashing success with a turnout of over 220,000 tickets sold, evident of her ever evolving style. The new single contains two A side tracks: "Feel the love" is the first track ever produced by the acclaimed DJ Hello Kitty, who has many excited fans all over the world!! His name is synonymous with "EDM (Electric Dance Music)", the globally recognizable sound that has rocked the world, representing the US. This song was composed by Tetsuya Komuro (a Japanese hit tune maker) and his distinct and catchy melodies fuse perfectly and make for an uplifting tune!
"Merry-go-round" is produced by m-flo, the internationally renowned Japanese production team! ☆Taku made the prime dance floor track, as well as the comfortable melody, along with VERBAL's rap, that really brings out ayu's new charm.
Both songs are the real sounds, without compromise, mixed by the acclaimed music engineer, Jaycen Joshua, that worked on so many famed US top artist's hit songs, and mastered by NY's new up-and-coming engineer, Dave Kutch!
For the DVD, we recorded 2 music videos shot in LA. And also the official "TeamAyu" fan club limited edition version contains a very special interview with ayu about these songs!
