SURREAL is a really unique song (again) in ayu's discography. I dunno if there's a chorus part in this song.. The pattern is like melody A, melody A, bridge, melody B, melody B. This is one of the best pop-rock fusion from ayu .

The thing is, the recent attitude/concept of her pvs are mainly 1) "I'm pretty" and 2) "the pv should be pretty... plot is not important." I really enjoy her old pvs because I could see a storyboard from the pvs.

Concert... well again she has been recycling her old performances... Cage, cross, similar songs, etc. The last concert that I really enjoyed was MY STORY tour. Since then her concerts are kinda mediocre.

Again, I think she comes to an age (or a mind) that she wanna try to be more feminine. I'm not saying being more feminine means you gotta be sexy. What I mean is that she's tryin to act like sexy, she just feels like it.
