I have been listening to the album religiously since its release and I have to admit that I really liked it. The first two songs she used as digital singles 憂鬱な太陽 退屈な月 and 焼ける川 (Yakeru Kawa) were a good choice , I loved them both, but in all honesty I tend to lean more towards 焼ける川 it just sounds more grandiose.

swallow the ocean , UNCRIMINAL grabbed my attention immediately while also reducing me to tears, those two titles are pure catharsis.
I agree with the opinions Kacku stated in the post above , although I have no issues with her delivery of verses and choruses in Aoi Haru, because the mood it sets is not like the one in "X" for example , but , more subtle and nuanced.

End of the World is a good song but having it for a second time on an album is a bit much. I get why it is there, because of the flow and concept and maybe because they want to remind people of it since it's relatively recent and the TV series where the song was featured in is now getting a movie... this is like a small gripe that I have towards it nothing major.

In other words , I am really enjoying this album

As for the tour setlist it seems that it is a usual fare for Chihiro.
None are the songs from the album on the setlist, but hey Arashigaoka is there so I am glad. Hopefully , they will include the video footage from the concert on a subsequent release.
