Hahaha yeah! It's like Dearest/M took their Ayu virginity and they have trouble letting it go LOL. Even though I'm not too fond of them, I'll admit they're great songs. But what bothers me is... well IMO... Ayu has WAY better ballads. JEWEL and HEAVEN at the very least are better. I guess if it were clearer to me what advantage those ballads over all the post-ballads I'd understand better. But to me, neither songs have better compositions / vocals / arrangements. The best thing about them... as with any Ayu song, are the lyrics.
