I loved the perspective he took and I do agree, with the changing of times and mindsets, perhaps the casual listener may not feel and listen for Ayu's lyrics anymore.

Seeing Duty's lyrics, it suddenly struck me how epic it is that Cirque de Minuit opens with Duty itself. It is like REBIRTH in that sense. She starts the concert saying its an end of an era and the concert itself is a great showcase of a more powerful Ayu.

Definitely agree with the take Ayu had on A ONE. It feels like the ayumi hamasaki I know has returned and even now, I find myself missing A ONE's songs because it feels so familiar and nostalgic. It's classic and powerful.
