Ayu's best single since Dearest

I didn't think Ayu's new singles were as good as her old ones,but when I first heard this one "No way to say",I felt that maybe Ayu has figured out the best style for herself.After "A BEST" had come out,Ayu's music has changed a lot,M n' Dearest were great songs,but some sigles were no worth hearing,like Free & Easy,and her 30th single-forgiveness wasn't so good either.But "No way to say" was really amazing!

Everyone is living this way
With feelings they can't express

Though my heart is filled with feelings to convey
You see, I can't change them into words well
If I had not met you
I wouldn't even have such an embarrassing pain and ...
