I don't understand the comparison between what she's been releasing in these past years and the style of WORDS. It's a little similar to sixxxxxx, but WORDS is much more similar to her style in the early 00s. I can hear more of tracks like Endless sorrow and even her ballads from LOVEppears/Duty/I am... in this than I can hear any comparison to songs from A ONE or MADE IN JAPAN.

And I agree, it does sound like an ending theme. I like it. WORDS is a nice track that reminds me of actual Ayumi Hamasaki.

^ It gives me vibes that it could've come from LOVE again, A ONE or sixxxxxx.

I can probably agree about LOVE again. I just can't with A ONE or MIJ, and it's even a bit of a stretch for sixxxxxx. The closest comparable thing on sixxxxxx is Shape of Love, and that wasn't as much of a throwback in production as WORDS is. This is still a bit more similar to older Ayu than even what's on LOVE again. But I can probably agree about giving LOVE again vibes.
