Even some songs don't seem finished, like Bling Bling Bling, so I think the album had a rushed release.

I remember her saying in a magazine interview at that time that she was considering doing a music video or each song for TRICK, but she chose not to in the end because she wanted people to just listen to the songs, by themselves. And think about the songs while they listened to them.
She also said once that looking at herself, through her albums and looking at her album covers at that time, (through 2008 and 2009) she noticed that most of her work was very dark and grey, and didn't have any colour like her older works. I think she said her sadness at that time (because of the scandal) that's how it come out in her work. And she said she had lost the confidence to really 'try' after it, and it took her a long time, til 2010 (where her work got more colourful again) until she was ready to start 'running forward' again, as she put it.
She also said that's why she dyed her hair from blonde to black at that time, cause of the sadness she was feeling.
@Dr.Dolce: I think 'Moon Crying''s lyrics are about the scandal too.
Or at least how it made her feel at that time. Whenever I read the lyrics, I always feel like she is talking to her fans, and how she realized (or thought) she had upset them and the people she loved from what she had said. I remember her also saying something like she felt incredibly guilty that she had upset all of her fans who loved her, and she wanted to make it upto them. Such as:
I didn’t mean to put that expression on your face
Even though I loved you
I made you feel sad
And there were tears that day
She keeps referring to 'that day', which I believe is about the scandal.
That's how I always feel when I listen to Moon Crying. Koda always says about walking down the road together to her fans, like her walking down the road with the people she loves and her fans, an in MC she says:
I am on the road
I used to walk with you
Walking beneath the moon
While singing a sad melody
I think that during that time, where she was alone after she had put herself into solitude, and virtually she had almost lost her career due to that day, She almost lost everything, and I honestly think that is what Moon Crying is about, whenever I listen to it that's how I feel.
But that could just be my interpretation of it.
Sorry, essay again. xD
