Still not feeling Wake Me Up, it wants to be a fierce power track but she sounds awkward. Hopefully it'll grow on me.
Sweet Scar sounds amazing in HQ, and she looks puuurfect <3

She's really pretty in the PV. She's not dancing or anything but it's still beautiful and haunting. Again, more artistic than commercial. Even the things she do seem beautiful with the song on.

The PVs however....
STILL MORE GOING ON THAN IN DAYBREAK.
^ lol

the song is sooo pretty! And nothing can beat the dullness of Daybreak!
This PV so far is so simple and clean... I like it for some reason..., but I have come to expect stuff like this from ayumi... she has never really done outstanding PV's before...
its something like 1 in 5... lol.

and the preview to Wake Up is pretty good as well... I love it.
Still dont get the Sparkle or Rule references though.

Then don't. Let the song stand on its own.

I'm loving Wake me up! (since the CM but now it looks better).
And Sweet Scar preview is so so so nice and soft...
She looks like an angel T-T
What a BEAUTIFUL face... and I love her clothes.

The days of Voyage/Free and Easy PVs are deader than hitomi's career.
But at least Ayu looks consistently good in her PVs, save a few blips here and there.

Don't like the part when she keeps saying "WAKE UP" but the rest is fantastic.
And now everyone can suck it who thought the comparisons to Sparkle were outrageous...

I thought it was FAR more similar to Sparkle in the preview. This is an American style club banger. Sparkle was still rather J-Pop.

yep. She could dance in latex again and just be sexy and STILL it would be better PV for this song. It's amazing. I don't care about PV. I'm glad I have heard it before PV.

Only song I could compare it to is anything ayu-electro + Startin' a little. Still it's a unique piece of song

OMG WHY I CANT HAVE THE FULL?:<

Wake me up sounds wonderful! I wish she would have substituted Eyes Smoke Magic for this instead!

Wake up is AMAZING!! I don't know if like legendary Sparkle but it comes up to be a close 2nd!

This mini is already shaping up to be better than LOVE! I hope it will translate to sales though even if 100% of the ayu fans here will love it, in Japan she is at a point where most chances sales will only go down even if she releases high material and grand stuff.

There are comparisons to be made. Both have electro elements, both have a strong synth, both choruses come in with an in your face "NA" I think it sounds better than Sparkle actually, that got old fast. I don't like that annoying guitar in Sparkle.
