Story is one step up from Meaning of love, but that's not saying a whole lot.

I guess, I'm just happy this is at least reminiscent of the quality of work she should be releasing. It's not 100%, but at least I feel it as "HAMASAKI AYUMI" and that's enough to give me hope and make me happy. It's the start of her getting back her groove, and that's the most thrilling aspect of the whole album. It gives hope and shows promise for the future.

Funny you should say that. It reinforces my theory that the album is an ironic desire for HAMASAKI AYUMI to want to get back together with AYUMI HAMASAKI, but AYUMI HAMASAKI does not want that.
