The A one era concepts analysis thread!

[Andrenekoi]

Overall guide-lines:

-The intention of this thread is discussing the concepts of Ayu's several releases, analysing the lyrics, the music, the visual, the videos and the tour concept.

-Everyone's insights about the concept of an era is welcome!

-Please, let's avoid the "this era rocked"/"this era sucked" stuff.

-And remember, when it's about the interpretation of a creative work, there's no right and wrong, just different impressions. Offenses towards another member discussing the subject will be reported.

A one is somewhat a divisive album, even if better received than Colours. People either praise it's throwback to Ayu's characteristic sound, being this album mostly constructed around that, while others find it to be safe and boring. Songs like WARNING, Last Minute and the Utada Hikaru cover Movin'on Without You became fan favorites and generated above the average Youtube views.
