[Official] 21.11.12 "again" covers and tracklisting

Sorry for the lack of updates!  I've been busy preparing for the holidays!


again covers:


Textless:

Tracklisting and information:
The mini album consists of a rock track, a sad yet uplifting track, a ballad sung with a 'big voice' (they use 'one main vocal' in the description), and a medium ballad that will speak to the listener. This release will also truly show off Ayu's creativity.

- not that it isn't really obvious, but for now, it's probably safe to assume that they list off the descriptions in the order that the tracklist is in so...
Wake me up - rock track
Sweet scar - sad yet uplifting
snowy kiss - ballad 
Ivy - medium ballad

Wake me up / snowy kiss - directed by Masashi Muto
Sweet scar - directed by Wataru Takeishi
