Alright after giving myself a couple days to digest the album
Michi - Really fun track. Loving the positive vibes and the chorus is infectious. My favorite part of the song is when she sings the English lines in the pre-chorus. The layering is SO good.
Ore no Kanojo - I have a love/hate relationship with this song. The whole jazz thing isn't my cup of tea, but the melody is incredible and the last two minutes of the song is flawless.
Hanataba wo Kimi ni - Between this and Manatsu, Manatsu was the better track. But this track is still great.
Nijikan Dake no Vacance - Love love LOVED this song the first time the PV came out. Still an amazing track. Shiina compliments Utada so well. Match made in heaven right there.
Ningyo - I'm a sucker for harps. The song is chill. Nothing too mind-blowing but a good listen.
Tomodachi - I looooove the vibes. The male singing with Utada is pretty good too.
Manatsu no Tooriame - Beautiful, flawless, gorgeous, godly, etc.
Kouya no Ookami - Not a big fan of this track :/ A little on the boring side.
Boukyaku - I LOVE surreal type tracks like this. I was always impressed with KOHH ever since I heard his part on It G Ma; so to hear him rapping on a more intimate track is a welcome change. Beautiful song.
Jinsei Saikou no Hi - Kind of a filler track for me. Nice song to listen to but nothing I skip to.
Sakura Nagashi - FLAWLESS BEAUTIFUL YOUR FAVES COULD NEVER
Overall, I'm pleased with what we got. It's a pretty dark album which makes sense in regards to the context. It is VERY different from what she's done before in the past which I really like.
