Beloved is quite nice yet is it unoriginal and those cheap arrangements... argh. I really don't understand her. One day "she uses" beautiful strings and real instruments, the other there is just some terrible fake sounds. How can she be happy with this...
Yet I think I'm fine with the song. Well I just heard it once. I hated meaning of Love, but this one is fine IMO. Her voice is really gentle. But I don't really see any improvement from crossroad for example.
Unfortunately, this mini is shaping to be very uninspired, forgettable. Somewhere I don't understand why she is not trying to go further.

By the way, when did ayu take the vocal training? Before PoM? Did she speak about it on tweeter or TA? I want to read something about it as I missed it...
