I thought Ai Takaoka's first album, Sunny, was okay, but not particularly interesting. I'm really enjoying this album a lot more! For one thing, the acoustic guitar is more prominent. While I feel her songwriting is kind of simplistic, she tries different things here. "jealousy no wakusei" is perhaps the most creative and unusual sound she has composed to date. Also, the other songs on this album are just as good as the three released singles ("Omoide no Natsu ga Kuru," "Ah Anata ni Ai ni ikanakya," and "Dare ni mo Ienai Himitsu"), which in my book means she put songwriting work into that album. My favorite track is "aozora no shita de." It is just ridiculously catchy. Recommended for those who like catchy folk pop.

Description
[Machine Translation] Ai Takaoka's 2nd album! Ai Takaoka wrote all the lyrics for this album, and also arranged and dubbed on guitar. The melodies, which she always creates by overlaying sounds on the scenery with the sea, and the lyrics written with her natural sense are united with the acoustic sound and her soft voice to deliver a comfortable breeze. The song is a summer tune with a guitar sound that evokes a cool sea breeze and a melody with a sense of scale, and is a nostalgic song about a sad summer romance. The album includes "Souide no Natsu ga Kuru" (5th single), a love song depicting small happiness in daily life with a pleasant guitar tone played by Takashi Masuzaki of DIMENSION, and "Ah Anata ni Aini I Miwa I Shall Go" (6th single), also featuring Takashi Masuzaki on guitar, which will be released on FM yokohama as "PRIME CUTS". The album also includes three singles: a sad medium number "Nobody can tell the truth (Himitsu)" (7th single), which has been in heavy rotation on FM yokohama as "PRIME CUTS" since the previous album, and a song with Koji Masuzaki on guitar.

First of all - this album defenetly isn't 'Sunny'. Ai changed, but her work is as brilliant as always. She's trying some new styles, like hip-hop or dance but for me, her experiments are simply good. Also the cover and inside booklet are beautiful.
