The more I listen to Bon Voyage the more I appreciate it. I don't know if this was discussed before, but I feel like the title is kind of tied to Japonesque. When she created Japo she said she wanted to show that Japanese music could meet the international standard, but I think it was still very much Japanese music. I feel like Bon Voyage is saying goodbye to Japan and uses a much more non-Japanese sound. Tie that in with one of the singles being titled Summer Trip and I really think it makes sense.
Also, while Loaded is kind of a shallow song, there is one lyric I really like:
Quote:

We don't care, if you do care, you lose

To me, it comes off as don't mind what others think of you, be however you want to be, worrying about what others think of you only hurts you. Just be happy. Kinda reminds me of Ayu's Party Queen.
I think this album's lyrics are full of little gems like that. There is one in LOL I like, too.
Also, I live for the intro to this album. Ugh, I loooooove it. At first I thought I liked the interlude more, but NOPE.
