I like it a lot! It sounds different and that's what I love about the songs! Microphone is awesome too but it sounds very similar to other Ayu's rock songs

i love it especially for that. its meaningful. i dont need overpowering show-off type vocals with catchy beats all the time. catchy interesting songs do not equal true music for me.

Don't look back took a beautiful cultural sound and made it into the beautiful meditative song which with the style goes hand in hand. its peaceful and the lyrics are beautiful. just what i need sometimes. ^___^ especially from ayu. but i see some people just have to have some spark and just pretty doesnt do it.

i think the song is wonderful. for me one of the best on the album. this is going with me while im on the beach at daytona.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I think some people are just more into the complex/epic arrangements, but ayu has so many of those types of songs, it's nice to have something that's just mid-tempo and a bit simple sometimes, you know? That's why I like NEXT LEVEL, Will, and In the corner so much.

I told AyuHamasaki01 today; "Wow, it's really Koda Kumi-ish.. Perhaps we could expect a SHAKE IT-like-video. Haha. No, that's so not-Ayu."

I LOVE YOUR QUOTE. (:
That's my thoughts exactly...
-sigh- Love it... so much... what an epic song.
The chorus is wonderful, and it's laid back, yet not boring. It's very interesting, and I can relax to it, yet have it stuck in my head all day long. <3
-whisper- Don't Look Back..
Can't WAIT for the full video.

when i first heard the song, it was kind of boring and powerless haha, it was kind of lack of something, but after seeing the PV Preview, it started to attract me.. and i listen to the song for many times, it does grow on me, it really does repetitive, but i love the new arrangement that Ayu has tried this time.
it's pretty good song but not the best yet

THIS. I love those three songs as well!

I think Don't look back is a great addition to the album. It's not the strongest song (I'm a sucker for RED LINE ~for TA~ and Microphone at the moment) but it's not a filler either. It's got a really solid arrangement, and the lyrics are great. I really like it. I'm definitely excited for the PV though, the preview is killing me haha.
