I really like this maxi single... uh, mini album, I mean. All new songs are really good. I really like that they put instrumentals here too. I really like to listen those because those are always very inspiring when I write.

Song 4 u is a epic way to start this mini. I was most surprised that this was so short. I was expecting it to be five minutes long with a epic orchestral intro like progress had. And now I'm always sad that this ends so suddenly. I'd like to listen a longer version but no can do. I already listened over 100 plays for the digitally released version and the full version might get another 100 plays haha. x3

Missing was so epic I just can't anymore. When I heard the short version, it brought tears to my eyes and it still does. This song is like BALLAD meets M meets momentum so for me it's definitely a song that breaks my heart into million pieces. This song really touches me deeply. I can't wait to read the full translation and then translate this song into Finnish so I can cry some more. Perfect winter ballad that I always secretly wait for Ayu to release.

Melody wasn't my favorite of these three when I first heard it. It just felt so boring I couldn't stand it, but when I listened to it the fourth time a moment ago I realized how much I actually like this song. Melody in the chorus makes me think that I've heard this song before as a English song but I couldn't remember the title of that song. This song also gives me a certain Sweet Season meets beloved meets winding road vibe.

This. Dubscribe remix of Missing did sound great at first but then those annoying parts began and I lost my love for this remix completely. Kuu has dubstep remixes on her DH albums and I have no problem with those because they're so nicely done. Dubscribe was a huge mess for my ears. :<

I really thought of a video game ending video for the Orchestra version of Song 4 u. That song is a perfect song for a ending video of some really epic video games for sure. Probably her best orchestra version since Last Links acoustic orchestra version for me.

Melody (BROKEN HAZE remix) was nice too. It reminds me of the Days remix from Rule/Sparkle a little bit and I love that so Melody remix was total love for me at once, hehe. It's also better than the remix for Dream ON in my ears.

You & Me remixes are awesome. I love them both, especially that Remo-con remix.

Overall score is 8,5/10

I'm eagerly waiting for "again" now! I hope it has dance songs on it because I don't really wish to listen ballads all the time though I love them.
