Hmmn... I dun really like the songs in A Song for XX (and I didn't buy this album either). appears brought me into ayu world. I tried to traced back to A Song for xx songs, but the only ones that I kinda like are poker face, YOU.
Probly the arrangement? BLUE BIRD sounds like fairyland, and now glitter sounds like BLUE BIRD. During I am... to RAINBOW she was sorta recycling the music as well (M vs. Free & Easy for example), but at least I can hear different arrangement.
I really wish... (what's the name of talkin' 2 myself's B-side?... ahh, it's) decision is the A-side cuz the music and the arrangement of the song sounds better. (You see I can't even remember her song immediately today). I guess I'm waiting for another Memorial address to grab me back into the core of ayu's world

. (Not saying I want another song sounds like Memorial address... but I just want another album that has similar magic).
OK back to hikki. I'm not gonna give each song (on the First LOVE album) particular comments cuz I simple love every song on it. All I can say is I loved Automatic/First Love the most. Now I'm sick of it cuz I've been playing them for too much... (probly 10 - 20 times per each song per day back in the old days)
Dun get me wrong I do love her Addicted To You, For You, TAIMU LIMITO, CYKAS?, etc. I just dun think her album songs are that great in Distance. I would think her album songs in DEEP RIVER are the best. Each song is quite unique from another yet they blend in as an album. Although I did say that I dun love one or two songs in the album, it's still shocking me to heaven everytime I listen to this album.
