Hold on.
She cries as screaming / yelling or she cries as tear-dropping?

kotora please put this huge picture under the spoiler.

That's probably lyrics snippet. Something like she posted at IG recently. "Need new scars to hide old scars. "

If anyone wanted my basic translation lol;

“After that, we pretended to overcome the pain, but all we did was cover the scars with new wounds”

Someone better than me at Japanese plz correct it lol

I really enjoyed the first preview, but this longer preview now makes me scared of something like "feel the love" in the end of it.

I was not expecting a euro trouse track. Lol.

I’ll keep an open mind but this sounds like someone trying to emulate the works of Ayu without fully comprehending the nuances inherent in her work.

According to the new preview, it's sound very old school to me and generic.... Wait & see but I feel like TK should be retired now :p

Huh…
Not the direction I was hoping for after the first preview :-|

Here’s hoping the full song proves me wrong!

i am OBSESSED with this teaser… i’m gonna assume she’s going for a more house / dance inspired song with this new album which i am totally here for!! my only issue with the snippet is the mixing sounds maybe a bit off. but it’s not really a huge deal for me.

but yes i was originally expecting this to be a ballad, i was surprised when i clicked on the preview and it the house-style keyboard started playing!! i’m not disappointed, just kinda shocked… she really subverted all expectations with this one… i know she described this track as powerful and emotional, and i definitely think that could still be the case. she’s done emotional dance songs many times in the past (ie. appears, fairyland, snowy kiss) so i’m really excited to see what she has come up with this time

and she looks absolutely gorge in the photoshoot, i’m loving the references to loveppears’ cover in the heels of its anniversary. ayu’s visuals are top tier!

Not a fan of this preview, it feels so OLD.... For once, I would have preferred a ballad with the eternals bells xDDD

Think the time for TK is over... Ayu needs something more refreshing !

The preview is not was I was expecting either but... I still like it much more already then Non-fiction or Summer again. It deos sound old but I don't care, i like old music.

Only things that I donèt get is the ''UUUUUUUh'' that she does since dreamed a dream, why is she doing that... it isnèt the most pleasant vowel.

I like the preview, it reminds me of Freedom by globe. But all this time I was expecting something like Last links or Sorrows...

That's why I don't like TK. It feels repetitive, outdated and synthetic

quintessential globe sound. probably found on TK's cutting room floor in the early 2000s...
all of TK's songs sound exactly like this. he never deviates from his formula.
and ayu's IIIUUUuuuIIIIIUUUUUHHH~~~ sounds exactly like keiko back in the day... which bothers me a lot. looks like we're in for a very dated globe & keiko emulation and nothing more.

well, that's the first impression at least.
at least summer again gave me a proper song I kept on replay

The preview is okay. It sounds like it will be generic but I have liked a lot of her work with TK, generic or not, so long as her vocals are decent. I'm more concerned about her possibly using the baby voice here which makes me cringe so much that it won't have any replay value. I really hope she won't use it.
