A SINGLE? And a not a """mini-album""" this time?

Best news for this year's anniversary! (when I think about it... it's pretty sad actually )

Can't wait! Hope I wont be disappointed. At least she seems to try something new and I appreciate it a lot.

After so many years without a single, her comeback should be much stronger than the material she has chosen to usher herself back into the scene. Terribly irate that she's releasing a Christmas single that has nothing to do with winter or the Christmas scene. Last years tease was snowy kiss, and now this "Christmas single".

Can you like, not?
People like this and we already know (WE KNOW, trust me) that you don't. I understand not liking it, but what's the point of this?
And I'm glad Ballad Queen!Ayu is gone for the moment.

Not what? There are others who have mentioned they dislike it as well, annoyed by it, and not as ecstatic as others. What is the point of saying "wow finally a new single!" as well? What's the point of anything for the matter? Can you honestly say that this is how you imagined her comeback to the world of single releases? I wasn't sure if it was going to happen, but if it ever did, I felt it would be a situation where they could really utilize it in such an extravagant way if they played their cards right.

I think this was probably the best choice of track for her 'comeback' single. A song similar to her last big hit which was You & Me. Though this one is a bit better imo.

Really? I think this song has a VERY good chance of doing well if you know what the listening habits of the Japanese public are and the fact that her last big song with them was You & Me... and before that, like... Sunrise.

New single "Feel the love / Merry-go-round" will be released on 25 December, 3 years after last single "L" was released in September 2010!

In April, Hamasaki Ayumi welcomed her 15th debut Anniversary, and after the conclusion of the much-praised nationwide Arena Tour which played for around 220,000 audience, ayu has continued to evolve and created this heartful new work, which includes 2 new songs in a double A-side single. "Feel the love" is the world's first sound produced work by "DJ Hello Kitty", featuring the world famous character Hello Kitty, who boasts passionate fans from all over the world! The song is based on EDM or Electric Dance Music, which has taken the US and world by storm. Composed by Komuro Tetsuya, it is an uplifting tune fused with Komuro's signature catchy melodies.



The other track is sound produced by world famous producer unit m-flo! A number composed by ☆Taku, intended for the dancefloorm, with a catchy melody and VERBAL Rap, it is a first-rate track that shows off ayu's new charm.

Both tracks are mixed by Jaycen Joshua, a sound engineer who has worked on many hit songs by top US artists, and mastered by Dave Kutch, NY's up-and-coming engineer.

The DVD will include 2 video clips, both shot in L.A. Furthermore, a special version limited for "TeamAyu" members will include an extra video clip, featuring a personal interview with ayu about the new songs!!

With her singing about dancing all night it would be really disappointing if the PV was just a drive in a car and a jump off the boardwalk -_- Wake up was such a boring PV for how perfect a song it was lol

Omg nooo if she releases Merry-go-round on YT I'll have no choice but to listen to it! I was planning to buy the single and keep that track for the actual release, but I know I'll cave if she uploads it 2 months before the release date Maybe I'll just save full versions for when I get my copy. Still totally ordering this though!

Was this the song that we listened to in the video where she was in LA recently or in a studio?
