Same here. I was listening to MS one day and realized that I barely skip a track on that album when I used to gloss over the whole mid-section. RAINBOW which is ballad heavy was a total bore when I first heard it but now it's one of my favorite albums. I was never a ballad person at all, always preferring upbeat pop/rock tracks but Ayu really changed me around by showing with the right composition, lyrics, and emotion that a ballad can be just as or even MORE interesting than fast paced song. That's part of the reason I've been so disappointed with her recent ballads, I just don't feel like they're as interesting and great as her older works (especially the CREA compositions). MOON was a breath of fresh air and I hope it's a sign that I'll like/love the ballads on the next album.
