I totally agree.

I liked JAPONESQUE much better than Dejavu (which, for me, it's her weakest from later years), so at the time it felt like a good improvement, but still for me it's not nearly as good as UNIVERSE or Black Cherry, or even Second Session (I tend to consider it as an album), Secret or TRICK... I think JAPONESQUE is better than Kingdom though, because I always though that at least half of Kingdom's tracks are forgetful...

Anyway, I have good hopes for Bon Voyage, even if I skip GTTT every single time it starts playing... At least I'm happy IS THIS TRAP? is not in the album, I'll never understand the love for this song, I really don't like its verses...
