This is certainly in depth and told me a lot about this album. I sort of lost interest in Ayumi after this album was released.... I only listened to the songs just to know what they sounded like and then just...left it all alone afterwards. I judged the cd as being just desperate and trashy but now I see it's much darker and sad. Though none of us know for a fact what these songs mean, I'd say your analysis has a fair chance at being at least more than halfway right.
Thanks for this. It has helped me learn to like this CD much better... I now see how it could potentially be her darkest album yet.
Very sad...
