a Bell - It's pretty but I just don't see the point of it. If the next song was a ballad then okay, but it doesn't fit before WARNING.

WARNING - This song is sooo catchy. The lalalai's keep getting stuck in my head. I love it. 9/10

NO FUTURE - I LOVE her vocals here. This sounds so classic ayu. Like an a-side she could have released in 1999. I love her high pitched vocals 9/10 (would be 10/10 but the ending brought it down a bit. I'm getting tired of her ending songs like that)

Anything for You - I can't believe this song is almost 7 minutes long. It doesn't seem like it at all. Pretty ballad, but nothing that wow-ed me. Sounds like it'd be a good ending song 7/10

Last Minute - Yeah, I'm still in love with this song. I've been playing it like crazy since it came out. 10/10

Zutto... - I liked this when it came out, but I think it was just because I wanted any winter ballad. Listening to it again, it's really not that great.. and her vocals get annoying. 5/10.

Out of Control - This is one of my favorites. The melody makes me want to cry. I need to check out the lyric translation to this one because it sounds really emotional. 10/10

Story - No. just no. Her voice sounds horrible here and it's such a typical generic ballad. Ugh. 1/10

The GIFT - Boring. Not the worst, but still.. it sucks whenever she releases boring/bland ballads like this because she's ayu and we all know what type of ballads she's capable of. 4/10

The Show Must Go On - Holy shit. Everything about this song blew my mind. It's such a badass track! Best song on the album. Totally takes me into another world. 1000/10

Walk - I still love this. It's such a beautiful and emotional ballad and I love how it builds. 8/10

Movin' On Without You - I wound up loving this more and more with each listen. It's so catchy. 8/10

So yeah.. there's a couple duds but I'm not really upset because of how good the other stuff is. The amazing stuff is some of her best work and I know I'll be replaying the crap out of. Compared to her last few albums, this one has more good stuff to offer in my opinion. Great work, ayu.
