(I guess I should've learned from HANABI ~episode II~ that sequel songs aren't as good as the first for me. haha)
On the opposite end of the spectrum-- I dislike ULTRA BLUE and HEART STATION (which seems weird because it seems fans of DEEP RIVER love those two.)

You find it harder to listen to it... probly because you've listened to it too much before (just like me..). Again DR is so far the ultimate masterpiece in her discography. Nothing beats it. If you ask the older hikki fans (like... the ones since First Love or so), probly they would say pretty similar things as well.
(And lol... actually I think HANABI~episode II~ is way better than HANABI.. dunno why
)
You know what.. when UB came out, it seemed like many DR lovers didn't really like it (including myself), and people who liked UB didn't like DR that much. I love HS tho. UB and HS shared the same elements --> sync sounds driven. But UB is very complicated in terms of melody and arrangement (and probly the thoughts of the lyrics as well). I didn't really like the feeling of the album. HS is soothing on the other hand and it's nicer to listen (IMO).
But isn't that good to see each album has its own worshipers? I would feel bad if all the fans ditch a particular album from hikki..
