@waterballoon - nice finding!
@Andrenekoi - never noticed the gradation of the tv's colours!
I always loved the rollin' - GREEN (the transition point) - Load of the SHUGYO part because it covers the two main parts of the album (electropop/8bit from track 1-6 and rock section from 8-12).
In the first section (electronica section), ayu tries to say that we should take action to obtain what we want (in NEXT LEVEL - "When we feel the breeze
Let's squeeze each other's hands/ We don't need/ A lot of words", in EnergizE - "It doesn't matter if there's no guarantee that it'll be okay /Just nod and agree /Cause that's our courage", in Sparkle - "If you just look, nothing'll ever happen /You'll never get it /Are you just gonne stand there /Biting your nails forever?". The light musical choice (electropop, 8bit) fits perfectly the note of optimism of starting something new.
GREEN marks the transition point, the doubt, the insecurity of starting a new way - "Why is it so difficult /For people to follow their hearts? ". The traditional vibe of the song - a quiet, meditative place in which we start thinking if it's good to take a new path or not.
The second section of the album (the rock section) is the place in which we are determined to take action and this is exactly what we are going to do. It's natural that every courage comes with fear but it's time for a change - in Identity - "I persistently and earnestly face things head on / That's my ID ID (oh) ID ID (oh oh oh)/ I don't handily agree to everything / That's my ID ID (oh) ID ID (oh oh oh) / It's not important how I want people to think of me / What I want is to protect how I want to be ", in Rule - "We don't need rules / That someone else made up / 'Cause we are the rules / And we won't stand down ", in LOVE 'n' HATE - "And I don't want (you) to hate me / So I decided to leave".
The final section (the ballads) is made by tracks 13 & 14. The conclusion of the whole idea with a bit of nostalgy in Days for the old good days - "I miss you, I miss you / So I call you for no reason / Just to hear your voice" and with ayu thanking the fans in Curtain Call for supporting her in this long, long journey - "To you, my beloved / I send a love song from my heart".
