After writing about NEXT LEVEL covers being darker than it seens at first, I decided to check on the ultimate source to know if an Ayu piece of work was meant to be positive or negative!



About the overall concept and sound: It's very interesting that when Ayu decides to jump on the electropop train, she does that by taking a very japanese take on it, the 8-bit. The album's title + the art + the arrangment of some tracks + the concert gives it all a strong video-game feeling.

About the tracks themselves: A lot of people complained about rollin' being followed by GREEN, saying this ruined the flow, but I loved how the song about the need of change on our fast times and (as Surreal17 said) how overwhelming technology can be being followed by the most organic song on the album besides its closing track.

Does anybody else feels like the opening to AT09 is Ayu coming out of the TV to perform live for the audience?
