Your take on this song is almos exactly like mine, which is rather creepy. However, I absolutely love it.

I think the album is very good and flows extremely well compared to her previous two attempts. Because of this I can easier come to appreciate it as an album rather than skipping songs a lot. Her melodies are slightly more interesting than Secret, the arrangements better than (m)u.
THe problem with this album IMO is that it, much like MT STORY doesen't really bring anything new for ayu fans. It's simply a really good and beautiful album,without offering anything new. I feel that a lot of the songs could've been more interesting if the arrangement and structure was a little more challenging and not as straight forward. THe rics and melodies overall has a lot of potential. As an example, even though I like MY ALL a LOT, it's floats entirelyon the melody and lyrics, the structure is very traditional, the arrangements remain the same thourghout and even the same guitar solo (more or less) is repeated like 5 times
. In my opinion MY ALL is an example of how these sngs with just few steps could've been just as great as her works on RAINBOW and I am.. if she had gotten more interesting arrangers or pushed them a little more in one direction.
I enjoy this album a lot and it will probably remain my favourite pre RAINBOW album along with MY STORY because I can enjoy it as a full album.
