The single tracks were great. The pop tracks of RAINBOW (WE WISH, Real me, July 1st, independent) are some of her greatest and also her last few outstanding pop tracks. (Most of Ayu's pop songs after RAINBOW has been pretty bad...) The album tracks were definitely great (Close to you and Heartplace are some of my top favorite Ayu songs!). Not the mention that RAINBOW has the best interludes too!

I agree with this. I love rainbow. It had, much like I am, strong album tracks and strong single tracks. I don't think her sound changed more with RAINBOW than it did with I am, duty, or her previous albums, but the rainbow themes and sound kind of lingered forever, untill maybe her sweetbox stuff on (m) u. Many of my favourite tracks are from RAINBOW.
