I trust you on that, and that's why it's so very valuable. Your views are never failing to be interesting.

I think this album is a lot more enjoyable than (miss)undersold. There were only a two tracks that stood out to me in (miss)undersold. Rainy Day & HEAVEN. The switches between genres was weak and poorly executed.

To me (miss)understood does seem random. I was, and still am to an extent, a lover of that album although before the release of Secret there was a long time since I listened to anything Ayu, my musical taste prior to discovering her is quite different.

I believe she was more consistant in her release as well as album track selection this time around.

I got the very same feeling.

The song I feel that doesn't belong is Beautiful Fighter. I can't help but cringe when that track played. It didn't fit for me.

Beautiful Fighters should never have been invented in the first place.

I do have to add this note. I believe she can do better. This album is by far not her best, but its stepping in the right direction if she wants to become a consistant artist again.

I can't say I'd be unhappy if she'd do better.
