This album feels sooo much like R'n'RC part 2. Part of me expects it to sound like R'n'RC, but she's never had two albums that sound particularly similar.

I hope the album is really upbeat and sassy/fierce. I don't usually say I want Ayu to be fierce, but I'm so tired of her trying to be cute, pretty, ballad-y, etc. I want something exciting to listen to, like an album that's as intense as Microphone all the way through. It's not that I'm hoping for no ballads or all rock songs, but rather that the ballads are memorable and not all soft and forgettable like beloved. I also hope it's nothing like NEXT LEVEL because that album tried so hard to be fun and catchy and fell flat on its face imo. Those songs drag on like there's no tomorrow.

I think I'm basically hoping for R'n'RC with the ballads from (miss)understood and the interludes from anything but R'n'RC.

Not gonna lie though, that shot of Timmy in the red diaper killed most of my expectations for this album. :x
