So we have a winter ballad - snowy kiss
medium ballad - Sweet scar (wth is this title btw?) I even predicted 'Sweet' word in it, lol. How a scar can be sweet.... xDDD
and a rock/sth other - Ivy/Wake me up. I think Ivy is a rock song, but Wake me up could be too~~ are they any info?


btw I LOVE Ivy title. I wouldn't ever give her that title. Very refreshing. And I like snowy kiss/Wake me up titles. Sweet scar just sound awkward but very Ayu.

Sweet scar is probably not the medium ballad track (that will probably be Ivy). If anything the description of "a painful uplifting track" fits it perfectly and we'll probably figure out the meaning behind a 'sweet scar' lyrically later on. They could also go together since Ivy may refer to poison ivy.

i was thinking of the sweet scar also being the uplifted track...
something that hurt at the time, but is fondly remembered of better days.

true, true.
But I'm sure snowy kiss is a winter power ballad.
I'm so curious about Wake me up though, tie in doesn't sound promising.

btw I don't get the discription:

'also, it contains a rock song, a sad but uplifting track, a ballad sang with a "big voice", and a medium ballad that'll speak to the listener.'

it contain a ROCK SONG and A SAD BUT UPLIFTING TRACK or
a ROCK SONG - a sad but uplifting track?

[truehappiness]

The way they were described was like this:

"There's a rock track (actually, all that was said was "there is rock"), a sad/painful uplifting track, a ballad with a strong main vocal, and a medium ballad that will speak to the listener"

Each description was for a single track.

So we have in order (likely to be the tracklist order too):
Rock
Uplifting + sadness/pain
Strong vocal ballad
Medium ballad

I get SUPER strong Memorial address vibes from the breakdown since most of these types of tracks also appeared on Memorial address. I recall for that release though, it was mainly BOUNCEBACK compared to how it's mostly Komuro this time around.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Interesting titles, very poetic! I like it a lot!
Oh, and by the way: I get A Song For Xx vibes from those titles and trackinfo.

from Komuro I liked November, do it again, Like a doll, Last angel, sending mail - but those are not my faves. Only my fave is Love song.

from D.A.I songs I like all the LOVEppears songs (especially too late, end roll and B&G) and from the other TB, Real me, BALLAD, Return Road.

But still besides Love song (which I STILL cry during this song omg) there are not "boom hit" material (but Return Road was close to that)

[TeamAyu2004]

ah, ayumi, it looks like you did it, again.

this looks like it will be amazing!

[lightningrod]

Trauma, Scar and then Sweet scar.....................
But I'm really excited and looking forward to the mini!

And I don't expect much from Missing Orchestra ver because I guess it'll be done by Yuta, I do love most of his original mixes but his orchestra vers are just bummers compared to ayu's earlier orchestra vers.

[alternarist]

If this mini album were to start with another song by Timmy, i will cringe seriously.. But so far, i like the titles.. and yeah... more ballads except maybe Wake me up being a rock song.. oh well..

[PoetGirl]

aw, looks awsome!!!! snowy kiss sounds so cute

[YUKARI]

how I wish she'd do some promotion on TV!!

[Minttulatte]

I like the titles so much ♥

[Catfisk]

So excited now (..again) :') Can't wait for previews and the covers <3

[~angel*ayumi~]

The tracklist reminds me so of SPEED xD

[owlflight]

Really excited for this track list! Now let's see some covers!

[Tony G]

I think LOVE was just the lead up to this possibly epic release.

[LeeLeeNeko]

Oh nice, 4 new songs & 3 PVs ! Surprised avex didn't change the price (even though it's already high enough)
I like the titles "Wake me up", "Ivy" and "Sweet scar"... The latter sounds weird but it directly made me think of NEXT LEVEL's lyrics !

When I looked up at the sky
Smiles came floating down
Don't be scared
It'll be all right, I heard
When I looked up at the sky
Suddenly tears spilled down
Even the scars left behind
Seem lovely now

What's more NEXT LEVEL was also a DAI composition so I'm expecting something nice.
It's weird they didn't give any name for Wake me up's composer, Timmy is from the UK but if he composed the song why wouldn't it be written ?

Anyway I want the covers !

[Tony G]

Its not timmy (thank god), he would have been listed. It might have been someone involved with Tell me why.
