Is Ayu Getting Better, Or...?

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I believe that NEXT LEVEL is not referred as much to her music but to her inside.

I feel Ayu in a different ways actually, and her diaries notes let me think that her has a sort of new confidence in life and feelings.
Although she found herself alone after her broke up with Nagase she took the strenght to renew herself and still keep on fighting against her lonelyness.
And moreover through her path of sorrow she found in her team and closest people the light of her next level.
So she feels herself as a better person, she accepted to loose and win.
