Unlike most follow-ups to a debut album, this one outsold 'True' by a mere margin. And after listening, you'll probably get an idea as to why it did. Mika expanded her horizons with a more relaxed, jazzy/ballads style mingled with reggae and lighter pop sounds. Since softer, lighter music is my taste, I felt that this album was unbelievably relaxing in nature in contrast to albums by the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, N Sync, Justin Timberlake, Ashlee Simpson, Hannah Montana, and those other musicians that I so desperately try to avoid but are always thrown in my face even if on TV. If you get stressed out like I do or you feel sick in any form, crank out this or any of Mika's other albums and I guarantee you'll forget your pain in no time. Possibly the best album released by ANY artist in 2003!

Mika Nakashima
this is (in my opinion) Mika Nakashima's best work yet. This album has alot of jazzy vibe to it. Her work is mature and full of emotion. I like jpop who is mature and different, and this album delivers the goods. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
For me, this is still the best Mika album. Every track succesfully resemblance how mature and sophisticated Mika's music is. It's pop but sounds very distinctive than other J-pop in general. There are plenty jazzy touch here. "Love Addict", "Aroma", "Be in Silence" are the results.Other tracks are beautiful also, like romantic "Aishiteru",reggae cover of a 1993 song "Seppun" and the biggest single hit from Mika: "Yuki no Hana". Really lovely albums...
