Exactly what I was going to say, "You & Me" turned out to be a summer anthem for her japanese audience.

There's no point in glorifying the past; it (probably) wasn't as awesome as you remember and right now isn't as bad as you think it is.
And yeah, I remember myself complaining a lot about "glitter", "part of Me" and, believe it, "Days", back then. Today I totally love those songs but I don't wish she could go back in time and re-do that, I just want her to keep going foward with her music and bringing us surprises like this. We'll always have a new ayu.
