I really like Summer Again. It's different from the bittersweet summer tracks that Ayu is known for, and it's topical!
I disliked the PV however, as I'm not enjoying Ayu's choreography (or lack thereof) and overacting. I understand her desire to want to present oneself as an iconic diva, but her overuse of hand movements and staring intently at the camera is coming across too inorganically for me. The best parts of the PV were the small moments where she was moving/acting naturally, and not appearing so rigid and static. I think she needs better direction. I did like the concept of the PV, however!
