I guess I'll be the first one to say I don't like it that much... I don't dislike it, but... yeah. The beginning remember me of so many songs, like I've listened to that before so many times. And te arragements are kind of annoying, specially on that part of "I waved my hand to you..."

And I don't know if it's just me, but VERBAL raps sound ALL THE SAME, seriously.

But I like the part that comes after the rap, that's nice...

I'm sure it's going to grow on me, but right know I have mixed feelings on this, this sounds like something I would expect Namie to release, for Ayu it sounds kind of weird... But maybe it's just something I have to get used to. Anyway, I don't like it so much, but I guess I should have expected that since it's m-flo, and it sounds just like many other m-flo songs. Even though it was the first time I've listened to it, it feels like I've listened to this so many times before that it makes me tired

Right now I prefer Feel the love... by far.

I wonder where you are and who you are smiling with?
I wonder what you are thinking there?
I waved my hand to you to say "see you"
Even if I know it will never happen again
I waved my hand to you to say "see you"
With a little bit of smile

RAP:
No, it don't matter now (no)!
It don't matter now!
Even if we meet together again
That will all be our past story (now)
I just mumbled to myself, not to anyone special (Feelings now)
"I think this is right" ah
"I think this is right" ah
Every time I say these words to myself
My soul leaves away from me ah
Saying is easy
Only saying is easy
I'm gonna fall down gradually from the moment the reality closes down
After all, two people who can't forget each other ride a merry go round

It happened in a flash to be attracted to each other
I think I was enchanted
"Please tell me the spell which never comes undone"
---------------------------
This should be right, I think?

I think she did. She probably suggested phrases... it is a pretty big part of the song and the lyrics feel like Ayu.

I love it! Especially the beginning

I don't really like the rap part but it might grow on me.

At this point, I think they are positioning the rap as the center of the song, which is interesting...

It sounds really different from what I'm used to listening from her, but I like it and I think it'll grow on me even more. I'm really looking forward to the single.

I prefer Feel the love. The rap kills the song and make it sound as a lot of others songs. The arrangement is weak too. Sad because the melody is nice.

Okay, I'm not sure if it's just me but does the "EDM" part during the rap sound sort of like a VERY toned down version of the Feel the love chorus?

This is definitely something different from Ayu. I like the beginning a lot and Ayu's voice sounds pretty good. I'm not crazy 'bout the rap but I must confess that I'm glad that ayu tried again something new. Kind of fresh. ooo...I almost forgot..I'm happy that for once Ayu offered us the english version of the lyrics. (bside Tell all). Between the two songs, I choose Feel the love for now.

"it happened in a flash to be attracted to each other; I think I was enchanted /please tell me the spell, which never comes undone"

Nice part.

@Pimenta: I feel ya. The song sounds like a lot of songs lol

But I don't mind so much because it's different for her, it's well made, and it's pretty.

VERBAL raps DO all sound the same lol I'm honestly...really not huge on raps in general, but I let it go.

Thanks goodness it doesn't sound anything like Feel the love. The beginning is sooo beautiful, I almost teared listening to that tough I found her voice a little annoying at some parts, but I'll get used to it and I'm not a fan of rap, they could release a version without it lol. Overral, Merry-go-round > Feel the love.
