I feel the same way. As weird as it sounds, I get the same feeling listening to this as I got when I first heard "evolution"--that exciting feeling of hearing something completely and utterly new for the first time. I have chills! I think Ayu is one of the most consistent artists when it comes to making high quality pop songs, but it's been awhile since she's given me that feeling. lovelovelove "Love song." I really can't wait for the album now.

[Ayumiko]

OMG...I'm in love!!! Love the composition, arrangement, and the way ayu sang it...so different! Can't wait for the whole album!!

[truehappiness]

Woah, so apparently at around 1:36 of the song, the melody from Last angel's intro verse kicks in but in guitar form! It's kind of barely noticeable though.

Hm, I wonder if this is a Tetsuya Komuro composition then.

i heard that too... i also thought some piano parts sounded kinda similar to Last Angel, it think it's very clever, like it's hidden in there.

Oh right. THAT was very clever indeed.

It's an AMAZING song really! O.o
This album will be veeery solid I think. All the singles so far fits right in with each other. Awesomeness.

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

It's very different yet at the same time the notes she holds sounds like Last Links sped up. The verses are extremely good but the chorus failed to carry the momentum in my opinion. Overall still a very good song.

[ownsarai]

I just know Love song is going to become my new favorite song next to Last angel.

[Tom Punks]

OMG SPAZZING.

I haven't gotten this feeling from an Ayu song on the first listen since Secret came out.

Listen to it!!
I wanted to keep away from any leaks until I had the album in my hands, too, but after I saw the preview of Love song PV I couldn't resist. I swear, you won't get bored with this song, ever, or ruin any surprise. Because not listening to this song is just unneccesarry tortue. It is just amazing!! It will make you even more excited for the full album!

[Bubbly]

This song is so awesome.
I love it! It's on repeat!

[kagami]

Love song is epic. The way she uses her voice is so interesting and....yeah, the song is just interesting lol
Love it. This year has been fantastic for Ayu music =D

[ayumint]

wanna see live for love song, can't wait

[hell's_belle]

song is good, but it's not amazing. Feels really typical and expected to me for some reason...

it's good though, glad it wasn't another boring ballad

[ownsarai]

^How could you 'expect' this from ayu?
And typical? What other song does she have remotely like this in terms of composition and arrangement?
Unless you were watching the preview endlessly until this leak, I just don't get how its expected and typical...

I can't explain it, but when I heard it it just sounds like... something she would do. Almost painfully so it rings of it being obviously a song by Ayumi Hamasaki. To the point where it almost feels boring. I hate that I feel like this, but I can't control it, I really really want to love it and find it to be the most amazing thing ever... I just don't.

I mean it's clicking with me more and more as I keep listening to it, but I wish it was able to capture me on round one

I think maybe I understand what you mean...

I dont think it's the most amazing song ever like some people are saying...like they say every time a song comes out, but it is a good song, and she doesnt really have any like it...but she has some that are like...parts of it.

it's like she combined last links with crossroad or moon or something.

But anyway, I really like it. It's something unexpected (for me lol)

THIS, that's the right description, a mix between lats link, crossroad and moon!
But if gave a feeling of NEXT LEVEL, the song but... better and diffferent, but the same feeling

+1
I think it's good, but I think it lack some production, the lyrics seem to be in a hurry... and I can't help thinking she recorderd 6 songs in 1 months, apart from recording videos and shooting for calendar, etc...
So taking this into account, it's a pretty good song that shakes you, really, but no, it's not her best song ever. But I will be listening to this song for a long time, I have this feeling...

---

something I have learned about Ayu, if I should said that myself, is that you have to take Ayu's stuff separetely... lyrics, music, performance, PV's, concert shows concept (mise-en-scène), and eventually, titles.... it's all a different thing.

[Rebirthia]

regarding the lyrics (didn't heard a bit of the song yet)... and according to truehappiness idea... maybe, she made a word play again, implying she loves music [(I) Love songs] and that she offers us a collection of [Love songs]
Ummmm, like SURREAL... I doubt anything like that can happen again...
