Some of the tracks are quite brilliantly done. I've only recently started listening to Ayumi and I find her old music very uplifting. Startin' is definitely my favourite song/single so far.

I like the song, "Until that day", "1 Love", "Momentum" & "Kiss o' Kill". However now that I see the video "1 Love", I feel like the video is very beautiful, but her vocals don't seem high enough. I don't know, at first, it seemed she did very good vocals, but than it seemed as they were weak. I still like the song. I agree, she does say 1 Love very clearly. Hmm, I don't like the song "Secret", I feel like it is plain. I do not own the album, but I heard MOST of the songs. Thanks for the review. I love to read, especially about Ayumi!

Also when I ran the currency convertor 900,000 US dollars converted to 108,972,000 yen so I believe you are wrong. 10 million dollars are 1,210,800,000 yen.

The whole album is a fantastic experience. Yeah Wataru Takeishi is always conducting expensive videos lately. This is almost 1 million U.S. dollars. Pretty crazy imo but the pv came out looking real pretty. I agree. The whole album is a fantastic experience. Yeah Wataru Takeishi is always conducting expensive videos lately.

This is one of those albums you can listen to the whole way through without stopping, without moving once because you don't want to miss it! :P ps. 100 million on a video?!

I personally have been indifferent regarding Ayumi due to her more 'mainstream' visage, but I think the quality of this album acts as a deterrent for me. I'm rather impressed with the uniformity of the tracks in this album, as most others I've come across (not necessarily Ayumi's) seem to do a slapdash job compiling songs together. "1 LOVE" is gripping song for sure. I do remember watching a CM advertising [Secret], and I think this was playing for the duration - a wise selection in my opinion since it brings out somewhat of an attractive air about it. "Secret" strikes me as the most conventional out of the sampled tracks, but it was satisfying nonetheless. It's no surprise her fandom reaches international heights!

I enjoyed reading about each track on the album and although I didn't personally enjoy the album so much, you sure made it sound good. :D Holy mackerel, this was a long review, but very well done.
