Love this a lot. Is super Christmasy. Probably the most Christmas-like song Ayu has ever made. I would totally see this as a cover of some general Christmas song lol It's so Christmas-like.

I actually like it. I think I've gotten to a stage now where if Ayu releases something that is somewhat unique to her discography I get quite excited haha.

I think this is OK. Looking forward to the classical arrangement of other songs though

It's not my cup of tea. The song is disconnected itself and I don't like it. Quite disappointed !

I like that the lyrics mirror those of summer diary and there's a direct reference to it (when she says "ano natsu mitai ni" -> like that summer after mimicking a sentence from summer diary) but I would have preferred a similar melody a la sunrise/sunset if she had to do this. In this way it kind of looks like she's reusing same lyrics instead of having a "proper" scheme like she had on sunrise/sunset.
Aside from that, the song is not bad, I like that it's so wintery. The first 30 seconds with that engrish re-hash of silent night was awkard as hell and I couldn't stop cringing tho.

^ I'm downright glad it's not the same melody. I very much prefer the connection between the two songs to be on the lyrics instead of recycling the melody.

I like it!! I'm surprised and quite pleased it's not a ballad, I really like the direction she took with it. It's very Christmasy and I love it for this

Wow, this is something new for Ayu haha I need some time to digest it before deciding if I like it or not. But yeah, it's very Christmasy.

P.S. "We can feel the love tonight" is back

i actually really like it, i just wish the chorus was a bit more rich than what it is. But this is nice. Very uplifting and happy compared to her other christmasy ballads.
