Well, we originally got the full version of Feel the love from a radio station. However, it probably isn't getting major radio play for now.... maybe closer to release.

Don't really like merry go round. The beginning is really nice but the rest of the song isn't good. The arrangement is weak, the sounds are overused. The rap don't fit with the melody & the end is bad with her "daladala".There is too much effect on her voice too.

The "daladala" part makes that song even more special. That's one of the things I LOVE from ayu, she gives her special touch to everything she sings.

This single is made for pure joy. The remixes are crazy good to dance!

Feel the love is typical but great, it's so damn catchy.
And MgR
I can agree that the arrangement in the chorus and pre chorus are pretty generic, but even in EDM I think they have a special value, you know? I don't know how to say, I think it's generic but at the same time it's not something that I'm always listening to, it's different than the north american do and such...

Overall, a right step in this comeback.

WOW, merry-go-round is definetely one of ayu's best songs ever! I won't say it's the best song from the latest years only because there was Ivy.

The more I listen to Feel the Love, the more I think it's awesome. I think it's a really good song! The lyrics aren't her most...I don't know, creative. (in terms of the chorus) I still think it's so catchy and her voice sounds good to me. I wanna hear her perform it live! <3 I like that it's the type of song I want to dance to.

I think it would've made a great opening to an anime! XD

Edit: haha, while listening to the song, I noticed Girugamesh in my signature was dancing in rhythm to the song. XD

Especially the HelloKitty mix of Feel the love. Dare I say it's better than the original.

Just listened to it and I think is ok, still not liking Feel the love (neither it's remixes) and I tought Merry-go-round would sound better after hearing the full version, but it's so repetitive and that rap part still annoying me.

have just listened to the whole thing... Feel the love is fine but weak and the remixes are horrid lol as for Merry-go-round.... darn it's such a mised opportunity for a great song... if only it had that misterious feeling throughout the whole song like it had in the begining...I like the melody but again the arangement apart from verses just annoyes the hell out of me and the rap parts seem to be out of place....it would have been a great piece of rock influenced matterial i think... The whole thing is not bad i think, but it's a very very weak single for me...

I don't think that's the case at all. Things have been about the same as they usually are with her 'team'. With small changes here and there that are probably unnoticed by most listeners/fans/whatever.

This single is perfect for a 'comeback' and even though it may not be perfect for everyone, it's probably going to do extremely well with the Japanese audience.

It's not just "A SINGLE", it's a "3-long-years-awaited-single-by-AHS-drama-queen-who-want-Ayu-to-release-a-fucking-single-already". Now, Ayu release a single, they want something else? Hhahahah

Lol. Not like I'm outraged over it. I've come to accept the fact that I'm lost in this abyss of yester-year within the ayu kingdom.

But, usually the point of a comeback is to propel someone back into the spotlight. To up sales. To grab attention that wasn't there, refresh the current fans but mainly to grab the interest of the uninterested. To gain more mass and general appeal. Otherwise the effort wouldn't even be made to begin with. Use that gap in singles to your advantage. Promote the Hell out of the fact that it's been so long, etc.

That being said, I don't think that was their intention which is odd. But the opportunity was there, and although I don't get bent that she's not selling one million, but the glitz and glamour of her having a more refined image and concept surrounding her releases and the possibility of a genius marketing plan to go along with it just really excites me.
