"I think the recording process for 'SURREAL' went very smoothly," Ayu says, "But...with this song I wanted to have a more rock feeling, but I didn't say enough about it... The guys in HAL might not have understood how far to take this, so that part of communication took a long time. At the time, I thought 'SURREAL' was like the beginning of a new stage in my life, but listening to it now, I feel like there was some fear or uneasiness [regarding] being face-to-face with my sound completely changing." The single reached #1 on Oricon charts and stayed on the charts for a total of seven weeks. In all this single has sold a total of 417,210 copies. Track Listing

Music VideoThe PV for "SURREAL," directed by Wataru Takeishi, shows Ayu waking up in her bed, and looking around to see that she's on a beach. She hikes up a mountain and ultimately to a gazebo inside a brightly-colored jungle area, where she sees herself as a wildcat. The dream environment eventually crumbles, and Ayu wakes up... or does she? Ayu's comments on the PV shoot: "We shot the PV on Lanai Island, and I remember during one morning of the shoot, I was doing my makeup in the back, and my tired-looking manager suddenly takes out a multicolored pen and writes 'HAPPY' in English, lol. Neither me nor any staff were sleeping or resting at all, even since before the shoot actually started. So yeah... I think we were broken, lol. But why he wrote 'HAPPY' is an enigma."
