Gives me a similar fresh feeling as when I first heard 'if'.

First off, I'm glad Kana has nearly officially stopped that 'depressed' face she gave on almost every cover. Since 'Believe', she actually looks like she doesn't have a lingering mental health problem on her release covers. I just think the font is a bad choice on this cover. But also, why can't they just leave the text off the covers sometimes? These would have been amazing covers as just the photo.

Te wo Tsunagu Riyuu is an awesome ballad. Very fresh. I love that she isn't singing at the top of her lungs the entire track. It's nice to hear Kana not pushing every note.

One More Time is 'Distance'. And I LOVED Distance. So, I'm glad she brought back the upbeat ballad style. I just wish this track had a PV.

Drive Away is also extremely fresh. It's such a good filler track, like Abracadabra was.

Overall, this is extremely fresh for Kana. I love the direction she's chosen for these last two singles. Girls was really good. This is even better. A nearly flawless single release. I think we're all really glad to hear a natural evolution in Kana's sound right now.
