I'm with Jimmy on this one, 005; I think "GAME" is one of the better songs on MY STORY. It's active, where as "No way to say" is much more passive I feel. "GAME" isn't upbeat at all in the lyrics, if anything they're pained, faked strength. The last stanza I really like, because she goes all out there and exposes her vulnerability, saying how much she really let this person take control of her and how weak they made her.

Yes, but I don't think she's passed that point yet. She deserves a bit of slack, yes; she's put out a lot of music. But a good writer can extend it much further. And I'm sure she will, too. Ayu was always so good at taking one situation or emotion and looking at it from as many different angles as possible. That's how we got "vogue", "Far away", and "SEASONS". I think "MY STORY" was just a bit of a plateau. "GAME", "About You", "Moments", "walking proud", and maybe "INSPIRE" are the only ones I personally feel live up to her past standard.
