Ayumi's second album is a compilation of her 6 hit singles of 2000. Also included was an interactive CD ROM with some goodies like her cm clips, pics from the making of the album..and sample music files. A definite must-buy for any jpop fan. This is simply one of the best jpop albums ever. It is totally worth your money. 10/10.
This was actually the first jpop album i ever bought. And I never heard any of her songs before so this album really blew me away! I still love it now!!

SONG REVIEW:

Intro: pretty cool synthesizer effects. A nice way to lead up to the next track.
Fly High: definitely one of my favourite tracks off this album. It's fast and energetic...It's the way Ayu's music should be. This is the type of song that'll motivate you to do anything.
Trauma: upbeat..your standard Ayu song, but doesn't really stand out.
And Then: I really really like the intro. It starts with a serious tone..and the tension just continues to build up towards the melody.
Immature: My other favourite song in this album. really different because of the melody. i love it!
Boys and Girls: A fan's favourite. Another lively, energetic tune. I really think she should do more of these type of songs. It really suits her style.
TO BE: I love this song. It's a slow song, but it's beautiful. Her voice can get a little screechy at the high notes though.
End Roll: ahhh! This is such a sad song. I love it though..
PS II: another one of her angsty songs...not bad. I had no idea that PS stood for Powder Snow..did you???
WHATEVER: great song! very techno..
too late: pretty nice..fast beat.
appears: I love this song!! veery veery nice.
monochrome: a lot of ppl love this song. it's really pretty!
Love refrain: ummm..i don't like this song..too slow and has a weird tune to it. love destiny is better.
Who..: slow..but quite nice.
kanaraiya: the hidden track! woohoo..this song is a lot better in the radio edit.
The extra remixes to all her older songs in CD 2 are just great! The other two songs, Powder Snow and PS II had awesome remixes.
