The thing.. RAINBOW wasn't something that people would hear in ayu's music when it first released. It's neither poppy nor rocky (well at that time I dun really think ayu was as rocky as today..). It's kinda like a ordinary album from any jpop artist. Tbh, I think back then I didn't really feel
ayu-ish in RAINBOW.
But as time goes by, I think it belongs the GOLD section as well. I remember I listened to the full album back in a year ago, and realized how good it actually was.
And is MY STORY that bad? I think GUILTY is actually her worst album to date...

(my personal taste of course). I never couldn't stand an ayu album until GUILTY came out. I just couldn't finish the whole album. And I kept skipping the tracks until I finally realized that the only songs I liked in the album were the ones from the singles. How pathetic it is. I really tried to forced myself to listen to it, but just couldn't...

.. sigh...
