BTW isn't it a bit strange to have "BLADE RUNNER" on "peace"? I've alwayds considered as a b-side since it was on HTM ~Tiartrop fles~, tho that song was used in the series fo CMs for Aube cosmetics so I suppose it's sorta prominent song in her discography ...
I actually always thought it was rather strange that BLADE RUNNER was on TIARTROP FLES, since I always had the feeling it was an a-side song (flow/BLADE RUNNER single). I guess they shove it on TIARTROP just so that it would have enough material to become an album (and since "flow" barely made it into SELF PORTRAIT and wasn't featured on TRAVELER).

About her older stuff I agree. I do tolerate "In the future" though (I thought the rearrangement on SELF PORTRAIT made some justice to the song) and Problem is fairly enjoyable. BUSY NOW starts great, but then hitomi sings in a TK way which is actually what kills most of her older songs. By Myself gets a little spoiled by the TK way of singing too unfortunately. Progress and Someday are probably the most underrated songs in her discography.
