That melotron intro to Gloria is the only reason I remember that song in the context of a bunch of other ayu ballads, lol... I find the lyrics fascinating from a psychological perspective but aside from those two things I find it wholly unremarkable. It's the kind of song that makes me wish I understood Japanese on-the-fly more than I do, cuz then it might click with me more.
"Ivy" is melodically & structurally a bit more memorable, but i don't think it's anything special either... I don't skip it when it comes on, but there isn't much to make me want to listen to it more than other semi-symphonic Yuta Nakano ballads like "Pray," "how beautiful you are," or "beloved" or something.
Honestly I sometimes wonder if Yuta Nakano's computer died and he lost all his production software, presets, and samples sometime in 2011...
