I want to believe that a collab would go well, but ayu's collabs are consistent letdowns, not because of Ayu, but because of the other artist. They either can't sing all that well solo (Tim), sound radically bad compared to Ayu (Naota), or try to mimic her singing style (JUNO).
As for the song itself, I'll give this a chance. But I am still so disappointed in her for being a one-trick pony and writing yet another love song. She knows it's old, we know it's old, Japan knows it's old. And God is rapping his fingers against his desk waiting, like the rest of us, for her to sing about something other than I love you, I miss you, I can't move on from you, I can move on from you, You are special, You hurt me, I'm not healthy for you, You're not healthy for me, We're not healthy for each other, We're staying together anyway, I'm still in love with you, You're still in love with me, We're still in love with each other, This random object reminds me of you, You're reminded of me by this random object, I still have the presents you gave me, You still have the presents I gave you, Please don't think of me, Please do think of me, Please remember me, I still remember you, You don't know me anymore, I wish I knew you again... Anything I'm missing here? Besides adding the word "again" to every single one of those topics she's sung about?
