And why do people keep saying "Oooh, it sounds so different from anything else she has done" Because it doesn't... It sounds just like any other generic mediocre pop-ballad she's made...
I hated CAROLS when it came out and this is nothing like that. CAROLS was boring (now I have grown to accept it) and this one just seems so full of happiness, warmth and love. It does remind me of Yume no Uta a little, but that song was super great and I always thought "Why can't Ayu make a winter ballad like this~?" Lol. I'm really happy for this and I actually have that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I haven't had for a while regarding an Ayu release! BETTER THAN GREEN. Lol. This one is so mainstream winter and I love it. Lol.

Agreed 100%. I get angered by the thick background vocals all the time. I just want Ayu's voice pure and simple.
As for momentum, it had a colder and lonelier feeling.
