'again' mini album out December 8th, 2nd of five 15th anniversary releases [III]

[xLuna&1LOVE]

However I would like to say lots of great things about Ivy, I cannot hear it very clearly.
I like it though. I think a HQ version could blow the mind. I hope that would be the same for Snowy Kiss, because so far it's my least favourite preview. (from what i can hear, or think i hear in this low quality)

[AyuWorld]

ahhhh tempting for Ivy! but im waiting for the HQ version

[Ayusan]

Didn't be quite excited by an Ayumi release since Love songs ( I try hard to pretend that FIVE doesn't exist and forget most of the time about crappy Party Queen _ though I liked three songs).

I don't mind much if there are no "surprise" songs nor anything fancy, it may sound generic for some persons, but LOVE and again are/seem ok to my ears, not wonderful but I'm at the point where it's enough for me. Which is a kind of pity knowing Ayu can blow our ears away with great songs, but the last years after Love songs have been so horrible for me that I take whatever she gives us as long as it doesn't sound as the two records I try hard to ignore minus three songs for PQ.

[!Lawi!]

By the way, the rip of Wake me up if from the PV isn't ? I hope the waves noise at the end is not included in the actual song !!

Starting to be in love with again *____*

[Larisa-chan]

Wake Me Up is catchy, but pretty plain.

Snowy kiss on the other hand.............. WOW. <3

[Benikari47]

Snowy kiss, even from that LQ preview took my breath away.. it sounds AMAZING <3 I don't see how it's a normal ayu song, it doesn't sound like anything she's done tbh. The way the song builds up is very different from what i've heard from her, the chorus still gives me sending mail vibes but other than that no.

Ivy on the other hand sounds mediocre at best. Not bad, just very boring and honestly not deserving of such a interesting title.

somehow i cant donwload Snowy Kiss from the link that Foyuki provided >.>

[alternarist]

Wake me up is definitely some awesome stuff! much better than Song 4 u imo!!

Snowy kiss's preview are kinda low quaility. but so far its the same tune.. hmm but sounds promising.

Ivy sounds sincere and earnest.. I duno it doesnt sound like an amazing ballad but i can feel something.. i like it!

I will wait until December 8th before I listen anything. It's gonna be hard now that all of you are so excited (it makes me curious about the songs which is good!) but I'll try my best at this. I do this because when I listened to LOVE's previews so much before the release that I completely lost my interest after two days of the release. Damn. Oh well, I'll listen LOVE and again new songs together then for a week in December. XD

im with you! hahah let's wait patiently and be wowed
but unlike you, i followed the revealing of LOVE but still am LOVE-ing the mini to this date. It's with such a classic J-pop/Ayu sound I can't let it go.
I cant wait for [again] already ><
hope cdjapan ships them a little earlier

[TeamAyu2004]

Wake Me Up - the preview was amazing and the song just adds to it, coolness all around.
Ivy - the preview... it sounds like it has GREAT potential... ill just have to wait for the full song and good quality.
snow kiss - sounds the same to me... ill have to wait, but it could be GREAT

[JackieRos]

snow kiss in a beach.

[jiarongisme]

^ Lmao.

snowy kiss sounds like a rejected version of sending mail (basing on this LQ preview and also the preview from the CDTV album review), Ivy sounds really good so far though!

[LeeLeeNeko]

"snowy kiss" sounds so good! I LOVE the preview, so dark and sad... But it's really LQ so I'll wait. I was expecting "Ivy" to suck really bad after reading some comments but it actually sounds pretty good!

I already love this mini.

[sanzo2011]

Ivy is incredible! it gonna top "Missing"'s awesomeness!@@!

[truehappiness]

I like how all of the songs are so very unique on this mini. Can't wait to hear them in full!

MediaFire mirrors for the super LQ previews:

snowy kiss - http://www.mediafire.com/?ezhq19qbl7e1d0r

The sending mail comparisons... I'm not sure about them. We'll probably have to hear more but also keep in mind that the same composer did them.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Ivy sounds like it'll be amazing... Like, for real... The background oohs and ahhs reminded me of Close to you.

I think I will like every song on this mini! :-)

[TeamAyu2004]

so far this mini is so much better then love and I havent even heard the full version or all the remixes... ah.
its good to be a fan right about now.

snowy kiss is the song you can't really describe by it's genre. XD like Mirrorcle World/kiss o'kill etc.

Ivy sound boring so far. Yet another ballad.
