So all the content was from the recycling bin but you got excited by a single that felt like going back to previous material? There's really no winning here.

I love Last minute as much as the next guy but that single is the Ayuest thing to ever Ayu. Party Queen has got massive production flaws but is to this day one of her most thought out albums and offers songs and styles completely unique to her discography, which is insane when you think of how long she's been going.


On that topic, I'm excited for MASK because from the description it might be closer to what we usually get from her than the last two singles, so it'll be interesting to see how she navigates that to keep it fresh! It may be a good indicator of where she's going with the album.
