Which album has the best lyrics?

We know Ayu writes some of the best lyrics but she has released 15 albums and 50 singles; there are ton to be some works that stand out more to you, so which one?

For me, it was a really close call among LOVEppears, Duty and MY STORY, but eventually I decided that to me, LOVEppears was the album that had the best lyrics. Why? Take a look at these snippets:

"As long as I don't care about anymore
I'll have some fun as the seasons change around me"

- WHATEVER

"I searched for a pair of sunglasses
So I could lose all the colors"

- monochrome

"We will surely be happy for the sake of being happy
We were born to live like this
If you listen carefully you can hear it
The shout hidden inside the prayer"

- immature

To me, LOVEppears is the album that has melancholy in the happiest lyrics and in contrast to the seemingly one-dimensional lyrics in her newer works, the lyrics make you think a lot and most of them aren't as direct as they seem - I appreciate that a lot and it reveals a really painful and raw side that's easy to overlook.

Duty has excellent lyrics but I felt most of the songs had a really angry feel to it, and while that isn't bad, I feel it lacked something multi-dimensional. MY STORY was an album I loved so much due to the whole theme and the lyrics were great too, but it was an autobiography imo and it really reflected the Ayu in 2004/2005. It's good but I think LOVEppears edged it a little bit with the extra pain hidden inside

What's yours?
