And that's fine... Those won't be on my repeat list, even because I don't speak japanese, but they tend to be the moments she is being more open and transparent about her feelings, and that serves a purpose on her body of work.
''The way I am'' had a good melody and I simply adore the lyrics. I think the arrangement was even a bit too much for the song, it could have been softer (like Who...) and I think I would have liked it better and would have been more fitting. I still love the song for what it is.
