So after a few listens to the album, i finally have the full impression sunken in.

First of all um... The album has a weird pattern of ballad/softness>up tempo/strength, which i would have never thought that could work. But here it does. WARNING kicks in with a surprise after a Bell. And while i am more of a person for the variety of different sounds, and as less cohesiveness as possible, this one doesn't bother me at all, it flows very nicely, which i think makes a perfect "story telling" feeling. I also noticed how quite a few songs start with a very similar tonal/chord like the one that ended before them.

For me personally i found WARNING to be least interesting, it's weird because i actually liked the preview. And i feel more and more like skipping it. However, this is the only album of hers that i can say i played throughout. I don't think there is a song I actually have a dislike for . I have my least favourites but i can still listen to them and enjoy regardless of that.
Also i absolutely love her vocals in every song. They are bright, clear and controlled, emotional where needed and with the vibrato that's absolutely perfect to my ears.

This album for me seems to have every bit of Ayu throughout her career. It somehow feels like there are bits and pieces from her other albums incorporated into the songs. Maybe that's why it feels so whole to me. I kind of see this album as the definition of who she was, is and will be.

I am not going to break down all the songs, because as i said for the first time it feels like it's ONE piece.

This album is the rainbow after the rain that Colours was.

I knew that it's worth having faith in her. Because once again this feels like home.
