lol i know right. ayu has made it abundantly clear with albums like MY STORY, (miss)understood, Rock'n'Roll Circus, and Colours that she has no intention to be defined strictly by one type of 'sound'. imo Ayu is up there with some of pop music's greats in terms of being a musical chameleon.

Loosely tying things together allows listeners to more easily produce their own impressions and interpretations of an artist's work. tbh I have no need for "concept albums" like the ones pretentious indie acts shove in your face (literally, shove in your face, by explaining to death in interviews pretty much every aspect of the album from its conception, meaning, etc. which not only takes the fun out of being able to attach your own personal experiences to the work, but also shows how wildly insecure the musician is. I've always liked how Ayu is purposely vague and feels no need to over-explain the minutiae of her musical decisions)
