Fantôme is best cause it doesn't have an annoying track like Nijiiro Bus or One Night Magic. It's so perfect
Ningyo and Jinsei Saikou no Hi say hi
They're not even bad, but they feel so out of place... Ningyo is only that thing that's between 2Ji and Tomodachi, Jinsei Saikou no Hi sounds like an italian pop rock song, it would make a cute 7th single for Laura or something

Idk what it's about, but Manatsu No Tooriame makes me so emotional. Especially when the dramatic strings and beat kicks in.
It's about mourning her mom

Waking in the middle of a dream
Even if I shut my eyelids, I can’t return
That world, vivid until a moment ago…. just an illusion
Softly embracing me, damp with sweat
You carved, deep into me, so many firsts
Whenever I stretch my hand out to the swaying, new leaves
And my thoughts rush to you
How soon will it be before I cease being sad?
I want you to tell me
Today I’m not alone
And I’m happy, happy enough
Though I’m telling myself that things are fine like this
Breath ragged from an unwinnable war
The days when I was consumed with love for you
If I forget, then I’ll cease to be me
Teach me of the proper way to say farewell
Whenever I stretch my hand out to someone
And my thoughts rush to you
Right now, there are so many things I want to ask you
They overflow, they overflow
The trees sprout, the days and months turn
I want to convey my unchanging feeling
That we have the freedom to become free
Standing frozen still—the shadows of those who've come to see us off
All of a sudden, those recollections
Seize me in their hands, and won’t let go
I love you, now ever more deeply
In an endlessly raining midsummer shower
Waking in the middle of a dream
Even if I shut my eyelids, I can’t return
To the future that, until a moment ago, had you in it
Looking for you… into tomorrow
To these rains that will never end, never end
This thirst that will never be soothed, never be soothed
I'm happy to see the nijiro praise but One Night Magic is so good too

Omg yes. I don't see people mentioning it but I love the synthetic humming in the background of Jinsei. It's really subtle but it makes the song for me honestly. It sorta reminds me of the production on WINGS from Ultra Blue
I would say it's top 4 out of her 8 studio albums. Some would say closer to the top, some closer to the bottom.
It's definitely a different vibe from all of her other albums and she has stated in interviews that she's never going to be able to make an album like this again
It just seems out of place on the tracklist, but I get that the tracklist has a ~concept~ so it wouldn't flow smoothly anyways.
