(miss)understood ties two ideas:
- It's a album about being a girl and the feelings that surround it (read that she said that somewhere)
- Borrows heavy influence from 70s and 80s music on most of it's tracks... This was also seen in the album art (that strange hearts, the filter and light on the photos, her outfits, etc), and on the tour...
I would say her only albums that really seen to lack a totally closed concept are Secret and Guilty...
In Jpop, the singles have the "problem" of being recorded and released before the album, sometimes months before or even a year, so, in the end, jpop albums tend to have no closed concept... Ayu actually is one of the very fell mainstream acts who try to make everything really flow together... (Utada, who IMO is a much superior musician only started doing that on Heart Station, for example)
