The 'short' version we had earlier was basically the same as the full version. -shrug- But if you don't like it, you don't like it.

Feel the love is the first song after many years that I will call trash from her discography, the chorus is terrible and it sounds even worse with her voice.

[truehappiness]

If the chorus is bad, that's really Komuro's fault. A lot of the songs on Love songs had great verses but then the choruses were really REALLY bad...

[jbrat2219]

Really? I love the choruses... I love Love songs period. At this point I don't think there's a single song I don't like, including Thank U.

[truehappiness]

I love Love songs too, but some of the choruses lacked the 'oomph' that choruses tend to have. There would be a lot of buildup with the verses and then you're sort of brought back down when the chorus kicks in.

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Can't understand why people don't like this song, I think its amazing! Its one of the very few songs of her's that I have been able to get my friends to enjoy. I really think its one of her better, more modern songs in a long long time.

[truehappiness]

It could be because it's a little TOO accessible? The chorus is really nice even though (like Thank U) it's very simple and is basically Feel the love / night and day / you & me and we can dance all night / we can feel the love tonight / I'll be searching for my love on repeat.

[Zeke.]

Totally agree with Love songs lacking the oomph. I adore that album now, but it's mainly because it's a nice, smooth listen. I did feel at the time though that the verses felt they were building up to something epic yet the chorus never took off. For example, November entire chorus sounds like a pre-chorus to me. I am obsessed with that song, but the way it's constructed sounds like it's building up to something. But that's it, the chorus is the buildup. The album is good now but it's true that the whole album felt like that.

November is one of my favorite choruses of all time! Right next to HEAVEN <3

[ayumisrael]

Zeke, I think I understand what you're saying but I think that you might mean that the pre-chorus part sounds like the chorus and after that there's a real chorus lol. It sometimes happens to me anyway because I start singing the pre-chorus part as the "chorus" and then after I finish I get to the chorus and like (oh that's the chorus!) something like that lol.

November is actually one the beautiful songs. It's full of emotions and I love the arrangement.

[jbrat2219]

I cry right before the final chorus. I feel like I've been blessed by Godasaki.

[kagami]

I'm totally on the November love bandwagon! It's one of her most beautiful and emotional ballads, loved it since the very first listen.

The choruses in Love songs were quite good. Only annoying chorus was do it again, because the engrish was bad, and she repeats it way too much Feel the love has better engrish so I like its chorus.

[primavera♥]

So.....I finally listened to this again and Iove it. Like love love it. It acgually made me smile and idk the last time a song made me smile.

But its still calming and not too bright for me. I quite like the chorus and the instrumental parts. The verses sound likentypical ayu verses and thet get better as they go along I guess.

Its weird for me to like this as much as I do right now lol. But im glad it exists. I quite enjoy it a lot. Its simple, but theres things I really like about it. Mmmm...some parts give me the feel of some of old Halvin Harris songs that I miss in that it relaxes me lol. But its upbeat.

[Zeke.]

There's a clear difference between the overall feeling of the Love songs compositions and her classic OOMPH tracks. They are good yes but the verses smoothly flow into the choruses, versus a chorus that explodes from the verses, EX: Microphone.

But yes, the arrangement is gorgeous and that final chorus is epic. I wrote a whole thing on it in the past.

[kotora]

I sometimes think this song should be called "Feel the Hate"

it was the best out of the Love songs, the only one from the ones we didn't get to hear untill the album came out, but i got over it very quickly. I do like the arangment, but i have to agree with Zeke that the chorus just goes right down the hill while the whole thing builds up so nicelly up to it. Also think with different vocals it might have sounded better.

As for Feel The Love.... i still don't feel that song, the arangement is still annoying the hell out of me, even tho i still do enjoy the melody, and the "you & me" part too, ayu just pronounces that so...i dunno..japanese tend to speak english as if they had a hot potato in their mouth lol

i ave a feeling if they gave up a classical arangement like Me & You got the song would sound sooooooo much better.

[pimenta]

I agree with Zeke about the feeling of Love songs, and for me that's probably why I love that album so much, it's my top favorite Ayu album to listen from beginning to end because it flows so smoothly

I actually tend to really like all TK's compositions, he's a great composer imo For Feel the love I think the main problem isn't the composition, but the arrangements...

[truehappiness]

Mmm, that radio rip. I have been listening to like 3 songs at the same time for the last week or two, haha. It's interesting how Feel the love can blend into the different albums...

[dreamlover13]

Ayu's songs would be better if she stopped with the Engrish.
