I listened to TOUGH yesterday and I didn't really like it. I haven't heard any of the singles (expect Koi wo Suru), so almost all the songs in the album were 'new' to me.

As some here commented, she really sounds like she's having a lot of trouble controlling her voice. I never thought she was the most amazing singer on Earth, but her voice (combined with the melodies) were always very soothing and atmospheric to me, but I couldn't feel that listening to TOUGH.

The title track is the only one that sounded remotely interesting to me, but it feels like it doesn't go anywhere. I was expecting a lot of energy during the chorus, but I was disappointed.
