So... it's a concept album... Aren't most of her albums? It'd be awesome if she did a concept album on the level of "Rhythm Nation 1814" or "The Wall," though. Her so-called "concepts" always seem quite subtle and weakly unified.

"MY STORY" for instance, could be considered a concept album because the album is supposedly "autobiographical" for her. I have a feeling she didn't have any particular concept in mind when she was creating the album, though. The entire "concept" was probably an afterthought.
I agree. I don't think any Ayumi album can be considered conceptual. There's no other concept beside her "expressing" her emotions. Epica and Scars on Broadway did what i call conceptual albums (first band did it about world religions and second one is about a serial killer) because the subject is clearly precised in all songs,one way or another. Perhaps ayu has attempted this but the songs and ideas are too vague for us fans to understand or to consider her albums cohesively conceptual.
