Wow, I can't believe Ayu is making this kind of music at this point in her career.

Lazy, sloppy, unmemorable, uninspiring, juvenile. I'm not surprised since this is coming after Five, probably the worst thing she has ever put out.

Shake It is the only track worth talking about. Where other artists would embrace the potential sexy vibe of the song, she undercuts it with what joshohhhhh calls something menacing. I think that's what makes it brilliant. And the only time that she effectively puts her message across in the album. Lyrics aren't enough to save all the bland songs here.

I've forgotten the album as soon as I finished listening to it. Diversity isn't automatically a good thing.
