JEWEL still remains the most important song I think Ayu has ever written. I still wish it had been released as her 41st single. I think it would have been paired well with momentum as an early Winter single. I sometimes forget there wasn't a JEWEL/momentum or momentum/JEWEL single.
Secret was the kind of music I always heard in my head but couldn't seem to find in a music store. So, it served to fill a hole I desired to have filled.

I'm sorry to hear what you've went through in the past but in dark depressing times , music can be a great saviour
When I 1st saw/heard JEWEL , I was blown away and initially I thought all music videos made were only for singles so it was surprising that JEWEL & momentum sadly weren't released as an actual official Ayu single
I guess after so many studio and mini albums that were released after Secret , Secret still stood out to me as at that time , I felt everything went hand in hand together , from the songs to the video to the covers
And it was the very 1st Japanese album I purchased at the local CD shop too . Man I missed that feeling of going to CD shops locally and just buy Japanese releases rather easily unlike now ._.
