Mizuki's outfit kind of looks like something that ex-friend bitchy girl from Hana Yori Dango (the drama) would wear.

I have two problems with this album:
1) The intro to the album version of TIKI BUN. Seems strange and out of place! Of course, this can be fixed by just replacing it with the original.
2) I think the flow of the album is weird. Having Asu wo... before Kirari to Hikaru Hoshi throws me off a bit.

Other than those things, I really like the album! Watashi wa Watashi Nanda would've made an excellent single.

^ I feel that the flow is a bit weird too, but it's probably also because I listen to the a-sides in order of their releases all the time.

I'm just glad they didn't have a separate track for the TIKI BUN intro

Asu wo Tsukuru no wa Kimi and Otona ni Nareba Otona ni Nareru are my favorites from the album

edit: grammar
