I have to say, I've been a fan of hers since fairyland's single came out, so almost 11 years? My first album was (miss)understood, so I've been around for a while and seen a lot of different things happen for Ayu both artistically and personally.
I loved every album between (m)u and Party Queen, but ever since LOVE again, I've been mostly disappointed with her artistic output. A handful of songs here and there have been really great in my opinion, but every album since LA is one I have not been able to listen to very much, and most of their songs have been forgettable to me.
Why am I saying all of this? Because this is the first time in 4-5 years where I can say I get that same spark of passion and emotion from an entire Ayu album.
This is definitely a rebirth, as somebody said. I'm so ecstatic to love an entire Ayu album again. All of the tracks have something redeeming about them, even my least favorites are miles above even some of my favorites from A ONE, Colours, etc.
I'm overjoyed right now.
