(What I mean is most of his compositions could be seen as just revamps of his older material or one could very well replace vocals with other TK-related artists and would basically sound the same. I think Ayu's work here is actually unique without too much TK-flair.)

I actually had the opposite reaction, I can hear TK's influence distinctively throughout this album. I would only classify his mid 90s produced singles as sounding similar, but his album work has always been quite varied and experimental I've thought. Watching the PV short versions, I didn't know that basically all of the album tracks were done by him but as I listened I though, "OK, so she must have used TK some more."
Because it really doesn't sound like the kind of material the composers that she usually uses would put out.
I'm going to hold off on giving my album review yet as I want to give the tracks sometime to settle in first. But I can already say that overall on first listen I have a stronger reaction to it than I did to my first listens of Next Level and RNRC.
