Well for an Ayu album I would say electronic influence is a pretty consistent theme throughout the entire album, and moreso than any other of her albums. Take away Days, Green (which came out before she probably decided the album's direction) and Rule (for a soundtrack), most of the upbeat album tracks had electronic influence as well as the interludes. Where it was electronic however, it was just as much rock and pop as well.

So whether it was a "full out" electronic album, well no. It was more of her signature rock-influenced-pop sound + electronic influences meshed together. Sparkle was the only track where she came close to an all-out electronic song, and the guitars are for the most part toned down (except for in the verses where you can hear a riff).

Since then we've had sexy little things, Sunrise and Last Angel, and if TK is producing I hope he creates something just as awesome. One of my favourite Ayu songs. If she starts creating generic western electropop-sounding music, I will be disappointed. But with the producers she is working with I doubt that will happen.
