Idk if I'm understanding this right, but to me ASFXX - Secret are timeless. These were the first Japanese albums I ever listened to (and really the first time I completely fell in love with an artist) and when I was discovering Ayu's discography I had all these albums at the same time, and so I never really associate them with any specific time period. I mean I didn't really pay much attention to the order things came out i just enjoyed them for what they were. When I think about how old they really are it just surprises me because I feel like these songs should still be considered new and when I think of stuff from the US that came out at the same time it just doesn't seem possible.
Everything after secret, to me, I can fit into a specific time and can associate it with other things and it just seems to fit and that's where it stays. Everything before it is just a big blob that doesn't really feel old, but also doesn't really feel new, it just is.
It's not a great explanation but hopefully it makes sense. Also, for me, this doesn't make an album good or bad, it's just another aspect of the songs.
