And now that you mention it, yeah, MY STORY was quite balanced. And it's good how it managed it balance all the different things without sounding messy and "pointless", it has a good flow... mm. But the albums I can see Ayu's thoughts the most are the 3 first, maybe because from I am... onwards she started minding the listener more ("I didn't have the mental space to think of the listener..." and all that lol) I get a feeling that she starting trying to "translate" her lyrics to make them understandable for everyone, where her first writings were more "raw". But maybe that's just me, haha XD

Anyway, MW was a good start for the year, I've even seen some people who are not usually Ayu fans impressed by it, and that's always a good thing XD If she keeps this quality up, I'll really be looking forward to the next album. And if she keeps these SALES up (since MW is doing great right now) who knows what we can expect haha XD (though I still hope MW won't be included on the next album! XD)
MY STORY was the first album I bought!! haha..and yes, It was really gd. The ballads and the rock. EVERYTHING!
Wonderland is ok though i prefer Marionette -prelude- because I've been listening to the latter more hahaha...
(in those days, couldnt appreciate interludes...heh)

But of course, sales are just a detail in the end ^^
Yea i agree. Good songs deserve to be bought and kept. Apparently, people don't see it like us though. They probably download Ayu's songs and buy someone elses...and no idea why that happens..
