That's so true! Well, not exactly since I barely listened to NL at all for it to grow on me, but still. When it came out I really disliked it and it's musical style and the lyrics (other than identity) didn't strike me either.
Then, few weeks ago after all kinds of crap had happened to me and I thought I needed some gloomy music. I opened my music player's Ayu setlist and turned shuffle on and soon I heard the intro of NEXT LEVEL (the song) and thought of skipping it but kept listening. By the end of the song I felt really carefree, easygoing, happy and even kind of hopeful.
The song soon after it was Days, another Ayu song I barely ever listened to. It also now had the same effect, and the fact the lyrics are kind of bittersweet made me feel even happier because I could relate to them so much at the moment, and it gave me the "life is a treasure, whatever sometimes happens" feeling. I then felt like listening to the whole album and now, voila, it's like the big everyday moodbooster for me. I've listened to it like thousands of times for the last few weeks. NL is probably my favourite
Ayu (edit: not just Ayu song, but out of all songs) song atm even though I never have listened to other music of such style.
I'm really glad now that Ayu released this album even though I hated it at first.
