I like how celebratory this sounds...

The music really carries through for this song. I could listen to just the inst and be perfectly content, which IMO means that it's a good EDM track. It's mostly about the music and how it makes you feel, not the words and singing.

It just sounds happy. No fake tears and singing about lost love and angst. I know Ayu fans have come to love that from her, but I'm so happy this song has some happiness in it.

Ayu has the best voice for remix-y songs, IMO. Even though this isn't a remix, they're using her voice as another sound within the song by altering it and such.

I thought about that but I was kinda lazy to check all the releases for Dec. 18th. Will do that later, but from what I quickly saw seems that that are a lot of albums and not so many singles being released on that week.

Yeah, it really feels like concentrated joy. I can't wait to get the full version! This short version is going straight onto my iPod, haha.

man if the arangement wasn't the goddarn eurobeatEDM or whatever it is, it would have sounded so much better, cuz the melody is really nice and her vocals are pleasant... but the arangement is making me cringe...=/

This is so effing exciting, oh my god. A new Ayumi Hamasaki single. Just typing that got me giddy

I'm not against Ayu dabbling in EDM - one, because I don't think she'll abandon everything to overindulge in it, and two because when she has dabbled in it before with things like Sparkle she's still had plenty of her own personality/charm in it. It wasn't soulless dance music.

Feel the love is no different - it has distinct Ayu charm and wouldn't have sounded out of place coming out years ago in her discography. I love how soft and beautiful the verses sound and just how damn catchy the chorus is. Merry-go-round is really intriguing too.

I. am. excited. I just kind of wish she'd throw in a winter ballad as a B-side just to capitalize on the release date, but this is fine too

She actually could throw a B-side in, but typically, her double-As (which this is) do not have B-sides. glitter/fated did though!

Wonder what we'll get remixed! I hope some LOVE again tracks. BYE-BYE DARLING REMIX PLEASEEEE

I'd love something off of LOVE again being remixed, and it seems the most likely. SAKURA Orchestral/Music Box version, anyone?

This song will probably have bunch of remixes coming up And yep already downloaded and into my music player, the song is starting to grow on me!! At first it sounded so lifeless and seems like she didn't put in any energy at all, but now, it sounds ... pleasant. I like it! I wonder how long the full version will be.
edit: ^ SAKURA music box probably is nice
