Driving is almost 5 minutes and it doesn't feel dragged out at all, imo. Many of kumi' upbeat songs are longer and that's one thing I love about them (and jpop in general). It allows the producers enough time to explore, develop, and expand upon the track. The ones that wind up being shorter never seem to feel like a track that truly stands on its own. It always feels like some general idea that wasn't pushed to its limit (enjoyable vs. mesmerizing).

Of course, when not done right it could feel as if the song is dragging on (good God, I could never imagine Lollipop being any longer than it is). It all comes down to whether or not the song has legs, or whether or not the producers give it some. And this song already has the potential to run a marathon.

^I just watched it and it is indeed similar in its style but I gotta say I really like HUSH MV. Even tho it's simple it's still better than anything from W FACE.

Maaaan, the song is a killer tho. I definitely didn't see such dope track coming with the title HUSH. I thought it's going to be something like Bassline but nope, Kumi totally exceeded my expectations with HUSH here. Speaking of HUSH, I haven't heard her saying hush a single time throughout the song maybe she does in the full version.

HUSH is a nice surprise , quite unexpected from what I thought . The PV ain't so great but the song itself is so fun so that's all it matters to me

Lyrics for HUSH , inclusive of the Romanji - http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5352965841

Kuu cowrote HUSH with TEEDA
