Wake me up - song of the album. Flawless arragments (it's not "rock" though according to information) catchy melody. Verses, bridges and chorus fits perfectly each other. I missed THAT song so much. Very powerful lyrics to cheer up dead. Amazing atmosphere and lyrics screaming "run for your life!". The only minus are her engrish, but I don't really care now. Score: 9,5/10 (-0,5 for engrish)

Sweet scar - I missed slow Ayu songs without cheesy ballad atmosphere. It feels diffrent from her "ballads". It's NOT a ballad. It's a slow song. Really touching arragment with violin. Lyrics are cheesy tough. LOVE-longing theme made it a little weaker. Still a strong song. As a "hardcore fast and rock Ayu song" i will give... Score: 8/10

snowy kiss: Props for not being a ballad and being a electro power track! I really like the chorus but verses (they are not bad though) DON'T fit dramatic chorus (they can't make their mind with arragment?) I reaaaly like MUSIC in this track. And + for not having a feeling that song is too long. I don't feel the lenght at all! I like the track, but as I said, there it lacks a sense of direction. It leave me with feeling this song could be better. I don't feel it like I feel Wake me up. I have same feelings for Return Road (but RR fits my taste better). Also minus that verses reminds me of Lady Dynamite... which is not a good thing. Score: 6,5/10

Ivy - there is a lot of things that make this song enjoyable. But still, it's a filler ballad... I REALLY like the "Ah...." in the beginning of the chorus. But after first listening I don't recall the melody... It's a warming song, but forgetable. Score: 5,5/10
