The album is okay. I enjoyed listening to it, and her vocals sounded strong. I can't really pick a favourite though..for me, the new songs all sounded pretty similar. I'll have to listen to it a few more times to pick out parts I really like I guess.

The album sound matched the covers - I'm just hoping the next step for Ayu will be more experimental again. I feel we've had the same sort of 'safe' sound since 2010 and although we've had some great songs in that time, I hope she gets the inspiration to start a new era for herself, for her image. (Well, I hope at least there's no more 'love' titles )

The album itself, I'll give a 6/10. It's not that bad, just not extremely memorable. My opinion might change in a few months after listening to it more but this is my first impression.
