I decided to watch the short version of Missing, and it's nice, both the video and the music, but the clarity of her voice is what I'm pleased with the most. I rather like the chorus, and the slight change in arrangement towards the end. I won't listen to it again until a good mp3 file of the full song is available, because I want to enjoy it in its entirety when the time comes. I might just order LOVE after all.

Melody is actually amazing!! I thought that it lacked something but it really gives me Key ~eternal tie ver.~ vibes + melancholic/Jade Valerie (lol) feeling. I LOVE it. The thing is that ayu is the one in jpop that can repeat on a style thousand times and still bring it with awesome lyrics, melodies and arrangements.

LOVE is one of her best singles, er, mini-albums. I actually love Missing and Melody more than Song 4 u (which is surprising since I usually tend to go for the more up beats), ayu did it!

I want Melody PV.

I want to put LOVE on repeat, now now now.

Wow thank you so much Ayumisrael!
Melody is actually surprisingly good. Much better than i expected, very Duty meets Love Songs era.

her vocals are So natural and beautiful! I love it, the arrangement is very very very good! One thing i love about Ayu's song arangements is that quite some ballads have guitars blended into. It gives even more powerful feeling to the whole mood.
I somehow also think I'm gonna love Melody and Missing more than Song 4 you. this is an aamzing release, really!

I just want to kick Avex's asses for not promoting this properly, it deserves a number 1 for sure!

I like it but do the songs on this mini-album sound kinda unfinished/demoish to anyone else? They seem more "live" and less overproduced than usual.

the beginning is pretty bland to me.. It's almost seems Christmasie...
it might grow on me, but so far this is the weak link of the mini-album.

I cannot understand, how can Avex leave LOVE without promotion.. It has the potential, but casual listeners need to know about that!
Unfortunately PQ made a bad impression, some people said that the "classic ayu" is gone..
NOW SHE IS HERE.

Ayu is responsible too..Idk understand why she's on the side of the world when she has an album coming out in a matter of days but we should be used to it by now

Oh god must resist listening to it...
Never mind.
I hear acoustic guitar. It was badly used. tsk tsk. Me and acoustic guitar rarely mix, cept with Last Links and Be My Last.

It still feels like a watered down CAROLS with an awful instrumentation. It feels like I'm gonna like it on repeated listen. I get nostalgic at around 3:20... Just like CAROLS. And that electric guitar was nice. And the ending was lovely. Hoshino did good for those parts, i think. I still can't get into it 100% because it STINKS of beloved and that's one of my top 3 hated Ayu songs. It's like your fav song and your least fav song had a child and you just don't know what to think. At times it sounds like CAROLS AND Christmas and i get hella excited. Then I hear beloved and i wanna listen to ASfXX.

The verses of Melody made me smile
i love the guitar music and it really reminded of Key~
The chorus has that farewell feeling..and that..i dunno..japanese countryside feeling to it haha. Ayu's voice is so amazing!!!! She doesnt have the vibrato and its just clear and clean. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! <3 <3 <3
Sounds like a great sound to just listen with friends when chilling and maybe against the sunset hahha
(i hear no christmas in it at all..lol)

do i hear piano, strings and guitar in one song again?
