I like it a lot better than Feel the love. I wish it was rock though. The beginning is so cool.

I'm liking it better than Feel the love! Could do without the rap imo, but the chorus is great! The R&B-esque EDM vibe kinda reminded me of Usher's music.

I found that the beginning is so cool! nothing sounds like typical Ayu

just that her "ah-ah-ah-ah" part is too much edited lol, sounds a bit strange

Wow. This song and "Feel the love" feel so new and different from Ayu's usual sound, and I wouldn't necessarily say that's bad but I feel like I need to process this more before I can appreciate it fully (=listening to these songs a lot during the next few weeks ).
What I can say about "Merry-go-round" at the moment is that its flaws mainly lie in the vocals part for me, but the song itself sounds great and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well the rap fits into it. My, this single is making me very excited for Ayu's future works as well, this definitely feels like an era largely separated from "LOVE again"s (mostly) sweet and subdued tone.

This song (m-flo specifically) saved the single for me - and I'm sure a lot of other people.

Without m-flo, the lyrics could have fit a rockish winter ballad SO MUCH, but I'm really glad she went for something differente, it sounds so fresh Really loving this single

This song really highlights how much a piece of crap that other song is.


Thank god for people who actually know how to compose!

Yeah, her voice is a little strained and high...but who cares, the song is -pretty-.

I'm really surprised they went for this sound.

WOW!!! I'm dying from the perfection.

This is totally her new-boyfriend single. Though the lyrics of this song seem to indicate a rough patch but not being able to forget about each other?

I do agree. I wasn't really feeling "feel the love", it's not a bad song but it's just not my style and I didn't enjoy listening to it.
This however is so awesome! I haven't been expecting much from this single and now this song pops up! I really didn't expect a song this great I really like it!!

I think rather than insult Feel the love which is a fun and catchy song, this just feels like the 'deeper' Ayu aka the usual second A-side/B-side like alterna or whatever.

The lyrics feel like ASFXX Ayu.

This sort of production feels somewhat Namie-ish to me, but the lyrics are 100% Ayu. I wonder if she wrote the rap too?
