'snowy kiss' and 'Ivy' preview in medium quality

Since we pretty much have one for each of the other tracks, I feel snowy kiss deserves one too?

Anyway, snowy kiss is incredible. It's VERY unlike what anyone thought the song would sound like. It's heavy and rockish with an anime-like feel to the arrangement imo. Lots of strings from what I hear and interesting layering! It also has something similar to a BGM used in the Matrix, I think?

Snowy kiss is just amazing! I was sure it's gonna be a ballad... but I was just... wow!!! Great, great! I did not enjoy LOVE much, but 'again' will definitely be one of my favourites

They said that this release was going to 'show off her creativity' and it really seems to have done that. Each track is pretty different from the others on this mini.

"snowy kiss" sounds... amazing. I can tell from the preview that it's one of the best song she's released in ages. "Ivy" sounds nice too, it's really good for a "b-side".
This release needs to leak now omg...

snowy kiss sound very "I am..." + "Party queen" (and yeah, maybe "Love songs", since it made me think of do it again). The verses reminds me of Lady Dynamite/Shake it a little. (it's okay and not okay since I hate LD)
And yeah, I hear the Matrix comparision o_O I feel that this song will leave me feelings like do it again/Return Road. - The song have potential but there will be something missing. And verses don't really fit the chorus IMO. But indeed, it's a very unique track - like faster and more electronic/guitar do it again. Like do it again meets Lady Dynamite and Last angel.

I really like the fact that this mini have 2 strong tracks that are NOT ballads. I was 90% sure that 3 of em will be ballads lol
I'm hoping for (in the future) more fast tracks from Ayu, I am always in a mood for them, this is Ayu I have fallen for.
All I need now is angry rock track like GAME/BoY.
snowy kiss and Wake me up are strong electronic tracks with guitars. But not rock obviously.

Ivy is forgetable, but I like the power in it.

My only complain is that these songs are amazing but their PV will be probably a mess except Sweet scar who looks in accordance with the song !

I would have prefered something Chaotic for Snowy Kiss (do it again) and something moderne for Wake me up (Sparkle x Because of you)

There is still chance that the PVs might turn out to be good, as long as they are not too literal
