^I like "LOVE LETTER", but compared to her other albums it's kinda stale(?).

"LOVE LETTER" and "Ningyou" are both piano ballads. The later has some strings, but it's mostly piano-driven.
With "BYE BYE", "Creamy & Spicy", "DO☆POSITIVE" it took me some time to remember how each of them sounds, because they're quite similar in arrangement and overall feel.
"Kimi FETCH" and "OnexTime" are also quite similar. And both have a similar feel to "HEART".
The songs that stand out, more or less, are "ROCKET SNEAKER", as it's up-beat yet piano-driven, "KURAGE, Nagareboshi", but it's a fusion of "Kingyo Hanabi" and "PLANETARIUM", "360°", "SHACHIHATA", "POCKET", though it's not that original in itself, and "Ai".

It's kinda weird that the "LOVE LETTER" single B-sides had more variety than the album tracks, with songs like "TICKET", "Sora to Kujira", "H2O" and "Ame no Tsubu, WALTZ ~LOVE MUSiC~".
