from the preview, it's okay, nice but it does not sound special in a way or another.
for me, it had the potential of being repeative and i might get sick of it easily. so, i'm just not puting my hopes high and wait for the full version

Lol, I don't get how people can say "it could get repetitive" - how so?
We've heard 30 seconds of it...

It's really sweet. It's like a happy song. Anyway it's much much much better than GUILTY(I mean the song, not the album.).

I think it's nice. It's been a while since she's done something along the same lines. I welcome anything she does. If she wants to, and it works for her, I like it. At least it's honest that way.

What is it with people comparing it to GREEN? It doesn't sound anything like GREEN...>.> Anyhow, so far it sounds good. I cannot wait for this album!

Because even in just 30 seconds it was already kinda sounding repetitive to me. It would be great though if it ended up being something crazy like Dr. though - that would definitely suit the title Next Level more.

The music reminds me of ANGEL'S SONG which isn't really a good thing in my book. Hopefully the full song will sound different.

haha, yup, there are other parts of the songs not out yet so we definitely can't judge any thing yet....

Anyway, the cm is very refreshing, though her dancers are kinder ordinary looking. haha.... How old is peco?? she looks so old.

its repitive coz they repeated and looped two chorus?...like when GREEN came out? two choruses were placed back to back...

Its only the ORIENTAL feeling that resembles GREEN but like someone mentioned, GREEN is more autumn and exotic...NEXT LEVEL is more spring..(something Shimatani will sing..TOTALLY)

actually...i too wasnt expcting this and im not very thrilled by it. of coz its just a preview. Though im a chinese, i m never thrilled by chinese-oriental songs...

but this has gotta be Ayu's first happy title track after RAINBOW (which wasnt even on the album...) so this IS Ayu's first happy pop title track. (i wonder if NEXT LEVEL might get a PV)

I hope the full song shines..

I like it, I didn't expect that NEXT LEVEL would became such grandiose soothing song, I think the NEXT LEVEL title doesn't fit the image of the song (Yea, I would expect it like a Rock or Techno Track)

I wanna hear the full version!

same! i thought it was going to sound naughty-dark-electronicaish lol


but i like how it sounds so far not many name of the album's songs sound like this!! maybe Secret a little bit


at least i guess that people will like this song more than GUILTY the song. ^^
