[SheFliesHigher]

I'm really liking it. You can truly see and hear how Ayu has matured. She's definitely much more than just a cute pop singer in this album. I love her deeper voice and the emotion she infuses into each song. The instrumentals and melodies of these songs are quite amazing as well...there's all kinds of new sounds and stuff being employed here.

I'm not going to say Blue Bird and Beautiful Fighters ruin this album, but I've never been too fond of them, and they seem like a step back from all the new, mature angles Ayu is taking in the rest of this album. I like Startin' and Born to Be... but surely the album tracks surpass the singles. I remember I was excited for MY STORY because the singles leading up to it were fabulous, but the album tracks ended up being a bit weak in my opinion. Not the case here at all!

I actually think (miss)understood is an incredible album unlike many (it seems), so I won't say Secret "blows it away" or anything like that, but certainly its the perfect kind of album to follow (m)u. Like many have said, I am proud of Ayu!

Random comment: In "Until that day", I loooove how Ayu sounds near the beginning when she's singing "ooooooo whoa whoa whoaaa ooooOOOOOOooo" but I wish SO MUCH that that part wasn't abridged later on in the song (she starts going like "oooO oooO oooOO" as if the song is being remixed)
