It's funny, but I rarely listen to anything from My Story, even though I like the album. The first time I saw Ayu live was CDL 04-05, and this had come out right before then. I remember listening to it nonstop on my discman (lol) on the plane to Japan, with extra batteries in my bag just in case. So for that reason, it'll always hold a soft spot in my heart. I never have, and don't think I ever will, like Liar. I don't hate it, but it's a low point on the album for me.

But generally speaking the whole My Story - (Miss)understood - Secret era is a bit of a blur. There are a lot of really high points in that range, but I felt some of the songs were over-produced, and a little too perfect...like they missed some of the grittiness of her earlier (and later) music.
