I appriciate Ayu's work even more after reading some of these. I really disliked Ayu during her Rainbow-A Ballads period, so most of this information is very new to me. My favourite notes:

As I said, I wasn't following Ayu's career during this time, so maybe everyone already knows this? I think it's really interesting.

I also really love the commentary on Sotsugyo Shashin, but I'd end up quoting the whole thing and I already quoted too much and I still need to read the Rainbow notes. XD
