Spoiler:

They basically say what we know. (2 LA PVs, Hello Kitty appears in Feel the love, one track is a danceable EDM track and there's a 'new Ayu sound' in another track)

- Feel the love has an H.I.S Christmas Fair CM tie up and December/January CDTV opening song tie up.
- PVs will be filmed in LA
- Feel the love PV stars James Ellis and DJ Hello Kitty
- Feel the love = DJ Hello Kitty produced, Tetsuya Komuro composed
- Merry-go-round = m-flo produced, VERBAL rap
- This single will also be released in 3 MUSIC CARD versions. A Feel the love/Merry-go-round postcard version, an Ayupan Xmas IC card sticker version, and a Ayupan New Year's Ema version. They will be 600 yen each and available at CDL in addition to the mu-mo shop online.

Ayumi Hamasaki's first new single in three years "Feel the Love/Merry-go-round" will be on sale this Xmas! "Feel the Love" is the first track ever produced by the acclaimed DJ Hello Kitty!!

The first single since "L" was released in September 2010, "Feel the Love/Merry-go-round", will be on sale from December 25.

Her nationwide arena tour of Japan, in celebration of her 15th anniversary this April, was a smashing success with a turnout of over 220,000 tickets sold, evident of her ever evolving style. The new single contains two A side tracks: "Feel the love" is the first track ever produced by the acclaimed DJ Hello Kitty, who has many excited fans all over the world!! His name is synonymous with "EDM (Electric Dance Music)", the globally recognizable sound that has rocked the world, representing the US. This song was composed by Tetsuya Komuro (a Japanese hit tune maker) and his distinct and catchy melodies fuse perfectly and make for an uplifting tune!

"Merry-go-round" is produced by m-flo, the internationally renowned Japanese production team! ☆Taku made the prime dance floor track, as well as the comfortable melody, along with VERBAL's rap, that really brings out ayu's new charm.

Both songs are the real sounds, without compromise, mixed by the acclaimed music engineer, Jaycen Joshua, that worked on so many famed US top artist's hit songs, and mastered by NY's new up-and-coming engineer, Dave Kutch!

For the DVD, we recorded 2 music videos shot in LA. And also the official "TeamAyu" fan club limited edition version contains a very special interview with ayu about these songs!

Not sure really...

I've only seen reactions to Pray recently. I imagine most fans are happy with the single though from the ones I saw before when short versions came out.

There are a lot of other releases before 12/25. If we are going to see promotion, it will be closer to release.

At the BBS I look at for info, they are saying they like the single and suddenly got obsessed with it recently~ They also have plans to buy it when it comes out.

The pics from Vivi were taken from the shooting, but maybe its just hers.
The PVs may look cheaper due to it being more expensive to shoot overseas.

An unofficial Merry-go-round solo version I found through the tags of tumblr. Thought it'd be interesting to share with some people who may not like the feature.

Ayu really loves Neff items now. I think it's just because they're really nice beanies. I need to buy another one.

For some reason they have split Merry-go-round's PV across three sites.

The first part is at YouTube.
Second part is at GyaO.
Third part is at NicoNicoDouga. So odd!

Don't know why but I can't listen to it. Each time I click on play nothing happens. T_T
But thanks for sharing.

I don't think this will hurt the single. The Maro thing was messed up because it involved divorces/children/other women.

Her engagement didn't make me excited for the new single any less! Just realized how Merry-Go-Round is winter sounding to me.
