wat

Oh, I think I get you... Three separate singles, all on the same day, with one song each.

Wouldn't put it past avex lol.

[Yoake]

Glad about the composers/arranger duets, now I'm even more excited that I know I won't see american singers in my mind when I'll listen to Ayu's new songs. ^^

I hope we'll get more news soon.

If there's a trilogy I hope the pvs won't be a love story as wake me up/you&me/snowy kiss. It would be great to get poetic and metaphoric pvs with beautiful set.

[Zeke.]

I consider close to you a winter ballad.

[Zeke.]

For me Close to you works best the eve of Christmas! Take a walk outside and look at the glistening snow sparkle in the moonlight and this song is perfect.

Love songs and Love again have absolutely nothing in common musically the first is excellent in all aspect (imo) ! love again was just a compilation of old demos never released ! I'm really upset that people don't see the difference between both XD (just kidding).
We will see ...TK is not responsible of the boring arrangement of Love again so I don't think the problem is him lol

I agree
The problem with LOVE again is not the composer's fault. Too bad, because I really like the album.

Not everything is to throw away in Love again the arrangements of Snowy kiss, Wake me up, song 4 u, scar and some other are really well done but regarding the ballads it's another things ... even if the feelings they give is very Ayuish they are too forgettable

[Earth_maiden]

I hope it gets released before new years so I can buy it at the concert. Just because.

No, I actually agree with you 100%. It's just his sound is so distinct, it doesn't mix well with her other composers. At all. And it always sounds dated and just not... Ayu enough, imo. His songs are never that grand and have these weird forced, uninspired melodies. They just stick out like a sore thumb among other composers' works.

I dunno how you can stand typing out long posts on mobile, that would drive me crazy lol.

I understand your opinion TK brings a typical 80's/90's sound in his compositions so yes I assume in 2010 it's a love or hate situation ^^
Unlike you I think Ayu did a great job with her arrangers for make his compo hers (I don't know if you know that but at the beginning all the compositions TK did for Love songs were dance songs) but yeah he is somewhat stuck in the past musically ... Personnally I really like it but I can understand why you don't like his works ^^

[waterballoon]

can't wait for the PV. probably directed by her dancers, featuring her sour crying face yayyyy

[TeamAyu2004]

I cant believe the hate for love again! its a wonderful album!
??

[AyUmIXx]

i hope the PVs will be awesome one please ayu~~
your latest pvs look so boring.. can only watch once or twice only.. can't put on repeat..

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

TK was the genius behind Feel The Love, right? He seems to have a solid repertoire of good songs within Ayu's discography! Really really excited for this single.

[Erikku]

With these great producers Ayu is definitely going to score!!
I love Together When...!!!!

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Some of my (current) favorite songs of hers are from her LOVE again era. (Song 4 U, Ivy, and Wake me up) (Also, note I said "current" since my favorites kind of change frequently)

I'm really excited about these names since they're associated with some great songs of hers.

[TeamAyu2004]

I do it from my ipad a lot... and im like halfway through a post and think.... this was a bad idea. LOL

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

My body is ready for this single.

You guys. A triple A-side for WINTER.
