Yeah I'm unsure if this album will ever fully "grow" on me. I think after my first listen, I've grown to like it less and less. It's like, if it weren't by Ayu, I wouldn't like it at all. It's just my fandom giving it a chance.

Seriously, at this point I am actually contemplating my idea of boycotting Ayu for an entire year. By boycott I mean, not listening to any of the singles this next year. No previews either. No PV shoots as well. That way when the next album arrives, I'll have ALL NEW MATERIAL! It would be one hell of a project and I'm curious to actually try it out!

Another thing that really effects the way people rank albums is weather or not they heard the singles prior to the album... Like if some people just discovered Ayu and then went back and downloaded albums, their opinions and the effect the album would have on them would be completely different than the rest. I used to think I was disappointed in (miss)understood, but as time has gone by I begin to view the album as a whole, singles and all.
