Wow! The new arrangement make it very different. There is something grandiose without being heavy. A very bright sound. The end of the preview make me think about Disney's arrangmements I played in my orchestras.

The flute like sound prior to the Step by step preview being cut off is my favourite part of the clip

I think I'm going to like this a lot more than the original take of the song

Omg totally loved this version of SbS! At least it didnt sound the usual acoustic orchestra that we used to get in her previous remix albums.

Loved the bass, the cheerful feeling and the flute!

I like Step by step! I'm happy it has the same uplifting feeling as the original, and the arrangements sound great, they have a light feeling to them that's very pleasant to hear. The flute after the chorus is really nice.

Winter Diary slowly starts to grow on me. When people start to build xmas-theme festivals in front of your door, which is happening in my town, the song fits the atmosphere & you start to enjoy it. Unfortunately it will never be a favourite, but I can easily join the gang of yay-sayers of this winter song.

Step By Step is... very expected. Not an amazing, outstanding arrangement. It fits the song though. I think that is good enough. Gimme WARNING, Sorrows and NO FUTURE!

I love the original Step By Step but I didn't care much about this version.
Winter Diary still sounds bad to me and the intro takes cringing to high new levels.

I love christmas songs, I even made a thread for them. But I honestly don't get why people think Winter diary sounds like one. I doesn't sound like a christmas song at all to me, more like a typical kitschy jpop song released by a girl group at every season of this year (if you cut the intro).
