This is the first album that I've actually listened all the way through since Love Songs! Where has this Ayu been!? And the songs actually don't sound like they were recorded with a cardboard box this time!
I won't call this a masterpiece, but I think this is a GIGANTIC step in the right direction. I really hope this gets Japan's attention and sets Ayu on the path to a comeback (but I won't hold my breath).
I'm not going to rate the songs because I'm at work and don't remember half of them, but I do remember FLOWER, Mad World, and You are the only one. Three of my new favorite Ayu songs in a VERY long time. I was starting to think I'd never feel that way again. I also liked the background music in Survivor but it's not a song that stuck with me.
What songs do we think will get PVs? I'm personally hoping for FLOWER and You are the only one. I really love the atmosphere in both of those songs and think it could translate beautifully to a well-conceived PV (assuming they'll give the budget for it).
A Survivor PV would be interesting too!
