Real me just popped up on iTunes. I was going to change it but then I decided to let it play. I don't regret it. I love this song and it's always been a bit of big deal in my life.

I loved BRILLIANTE, but unfortunately, the other songs on FIVE are forgettable to me. I guess that's why it doesn't stick out in my memory. I could have sworn it was a single, too...LOVE and again have twisted my views on what is what in her discography

Real me is another favourite. I remember on a trip to London years ago - a full sixteen hours there and back, overall - I just listened to it over and over. I had a whole music player full of other songs, but for some reason I just wanted to hear that one song. I rarely repeat songs as well. So full of nostalgia even now

Yeah..I'm wondering if her more recent lyrics will become more relatable to me as I grow older. Right now I'm finding her older lyrics are hitting the mark more, but that could be because I'm closer to the age she was back then than the age she is now. But yes - her lyrics give a whole new 'layer' to the albums, and I'll be forever in debt to the people who translate her discography from Japanese to English.
