Great Ballad Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

This song is very beautiful and the lyrics are amazing. The front cover is very pretty and she always looks so beautiful. She sings so good on this song but the remixes are sadly terrible and does not fit the song at all. Buy the whole album instead and 10 stars are for the song only.

It's beautiful. Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
First of all, look at that cover. It's so beautiful, don't you think? The song "CAROLS" is a really touching ballad, you need to go to an internet site and read the lyrics. Listening to the song is so relaxing, and the song is just so beautiful. Plus, we've got remixes here! I love the remixes. They're great! I wouldn't buy the CD+DVD version of this, because you'll get the MV/PV on MY STORY's DVD anyway. Even if you only want to buy this single because of its beautiful cover, do it. The song and the single is all worth it!

Great song! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Another winter with Ayu. This time we get a very emotional ballad with a great and wmotional PV. Many say that the PV is plain and boring. I think that it's simplicity is just beautiful. The remixes included on the single on the other hand are really unnecessary... they are really bad and I wish that the single had only two tracks - original mix and instrumental. Still the single is a great purchase - just look at the cover! It's magnificent!

CAROLS! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Get the CD only version...because the MV is not good, in my opinion. And jsut to let you know, the os version is no longer available for 6.49 (the price that I paid)-summer sale. But I still recommend this single. The song is very emotional and meaningful, from beginning to end. Everyone can imagine their own 'CAROLS' scene, while listening to this. The Criminal Tribal Mix is awesome! I liek remixes of ballads, and those are rare for Ayu now, so get this!
