LOVE impressed me more than again did, but both are much better than FIVE awesome. snowy kiss is like a Last angel sequel and Wake me up has the kind of sound I was missing in her songs. I had already listened to Sweet scar and it's beyond reality, best song on this mini for sure imo. Ivy is a let-down, I understand now why it didnt have a PV lol I expect it to grow on me tho

Criminal I think comes close but I don't think it broke the 6 minute mark. And I may be mistaken, but that sounds like TK doing backup vocals to me.
I think Heartplace is the same length as Snowy Kiss.
I am officially addicted to Wake me up and Snowy Kiss. I didn't listen to any of the remixes yet. I am going to listen to them when I receive my copy of the cd.

Yep, Heartplace seems to be the exact same length (6:06)!

I thought that this was a pretty creative release considering that in the last few releases it was MEDIUM UPON MEDIUM UPON SLIGHTLY NOT MEDIUM. The amount of medium tempo tracks she has really skyrocketed after Rock'n'Roll Circus imo. Not that it's bad, but we usually at least have some really ballad-y ballads and obviously-upbeat songs to go along with whatever she had before that was medium. (Like I think a lot of Duty has that 'medium' feel along with stuff from RAINBOW.

I kinda like how tastefully it's done and how we can't really tell it's Maro. They made a conscious effort it looks like to keep it about Ayu only and obscure his face if possible, which is nice.

I know, even when she does it live like at PCDL, I'm like "7 minutes just went by?".

I think it takes a lot of talent to have a song almost 7 minutes long to not feel that way. So much respect.
