Been listening to I Am recently and I got to admit as much as I enjoyed the songs on it, I used to find it a slog to get through. But I am now loving the A Song is Born -> Endless Sorrow section. In fact I think it's the Never Ever -> Daybreak section I find tends to drag. (Even if I do like Still Alone and Daybreak, Never Ever I can generally take or leave, it depends on my mood)

I do really enjoy the ~gone with the wind ver~ of Endless Sorrow. I can imagine a PV for this in the vein of the I Am CM. Although the single version of Endless Sorrow is my favourite, I remember sitting down to watch the Complete Clip Box (which I got for Christmas) and being amazed by the song and PV as I was expecting it to be the same as the album version.
God, that time was a different era for Ayu...

I wish we had demo versions of EVERYTHING.

And it may be. SpeXial sounds so bored in Sayonara IMO. I just WISH that at least one or two had vocal chops.
