I'm sorry but there is no way...this is better than NEXT LEVEL.I guess this is just gonna be Ayu's TiTO.

in a fan review via blog,the comment on "count down" stated

"...The guitar riffs are there and the background stuff is cool, but Ayu just sounds so bored in the chorus and doesn?t really make it climatic.Maybe this song would?ve fit better on ?Secret? or even ?MY STORY"."

I agree with everything said but the last snippet is the most important.That song was nothing new.

I'll continue my thoughts from where I left off.

6.Last Links - I actually went into this song saying "Oh these strings sound awesome!";and then it started to sound kinda drab as well.This however seems to be like one of the few songs on the album(or only) that will grow on me.

7.montage

8.Don't look back - It still feels overproduced to me(song and PV XD),might grow on me.It's definitely one of the most complete songs of the album despite me not agreeing with every part of the arrangement.

9.Jump!

10.Lady Dynamite - I hate it when I only enjoy sections of songs.In L.D.,I only enjoy around 30-34 secs....and that's the 16 secs of the end of the 2 verses that lead directly into the hook....I honestly think this song is lazy as all hell.I can't give a good enough critique of this one,I simply can't sit through the song in full twice in a row.

11.Sexy Little things - When not coupled with the PV...I can take it a little more seriously.I feel if anything. This should have been the 2nd track.It could have set the tone for Microphone and suit as a bigger opener.

12.Sunrise ~ALL is LOVE~ - What the hell was this doing right before the closing ballad set?Had to fit it somewhere?
or....you could drop one of the "~ALL is LOVE~" completely to preserve consistency of mood.

13.meaning of Love - it's a pretty safe ballad,I feel the composition is what holds it back.It could sound amazing acappella.

14.You were... - This is Ayu's token style of ballad,but it completely outdoes the previous track to the point of question how did it make it on to the mastering list.Hasn't changed from the single either.

15.RED LINE~for TA~[Album Version] - I miss album closers like this.I feel like it was in the light of "independent+" and "Memorial Address".I can't really explain my reasoning for liking this song other than that however.It hasn't change much since the single either,but it has a acapella(aside from the organs) close out this time.
