Just to explains why I said I prefer FIVE:
Both FIVE and Memorial Address include two tracks I absolutely adore. progress/BRILLANTE and forgiveness/Memorial Address. But the rest of Memorial Address is simply nothing special to me. With the exception of HANABI ~Episode II~, ourselves and Because of You - but ONLY performed live since I don't like the studio versions. Greatful Days? Probably my least favorite Ayumi song together with AUDIENCE and Fly High. ANGEL's SONG? Catchy but not on one level with the rest. No way to say...? Really tacky and the same song she has released 15 times before, I enjoy it live but it's nothing new or especially great in any way.
For FIVE I like every song in one way or another in the studio versions and except for beloved every song is something new for Ayumi in one way or another. And when you look at the amount of songs included FIVE has a bigger part of songs I really love. 40% compared to Memorial Address' 25%. So...that explains my love for FIVE.
