I obviosly knew that was from Scawaii, lul, at least someone should try put her face onto diffrent clothes XD

But for Ayu, I am not afraid for "casual" covers, she never does that. They might be very simple but they are not "casual"...

Not to be nitpicky, but you said "most of them loved it", implying it was all around well-loved. AHS actually considers it to be her second worst album overall apparently:

The 'fake cover leak' could have been avoided, to be honest. (Plus it was very obviously fanmade and was apparently found on Facebook. Why did they go through the trouble of badly copy-pasting everything together and not even making the right amount of covers? There's also a PV that is still being made.) If covers do come out, we usually get them here first (or Ayu's team would tweet about it) and new information in general never pops up on FB first.

And the 'rumored tracklist order' is from a Chinese forum that gets information directly from avex at times so there's a possibility that it is true. It was reposted onto the Facebook page without a source and in a strange format which is how a lot of people saw it. Instead of actually posting the tracklist order, all they did was say what was a full song/interlude.

Lol sorry you're right, maybe I used the wrong word. I should have use 'some of them' instead :laugh.

Nevermind so :roflmao well I bet there will be people will love it anyway.

The cover looked so fake, I can't believe some people fell for it


Next Level is a good album for me I like it and I don't mind the interludes

^
I think she's referring to a previous post where I really said 'most of them'. Although most doesn't mean all o_o I guess.

Anyway nevermind, seriously I don't want to start a war over a word :laugh. Just ignore my latest posts.

most doesn't mean everyone that's all I was saying but
you're right that's why I changed my post.

NEXT LEVEL is to me the album which is the easiest to listen to. It flows pretty well, and I love that the ballads come right at the end lol :innocent

It has to be my favorite ayu-album right now :yes



I hope Party Queen is like that too, but who knows!

It would not be too much if we get 2 more songs,I think the problem is not the number of interludes,it is the number of NEW full songs.

to be honest, I don't mind interludes like disco-munication, Jump! or sth rockish like Load of the SHUGYO, Are You Wake Up?, taskinst or even the awesome Bridge to the sky, Mirror, tasking or Catcher in the light. But I seriously skips all the interludes like KALEIDOSCOPE, Pieces of SEVEN, LABIRYNTH, reBIRTH, or the Love songs "classical" ones, they are all very pretty... but they just fills the place for no reason...

When is the overseas version released?

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. Hope those interludes will be worth listening to.

too true, too true..
If we were doing My story or Missunderstood with 17 tracks and 16 then it would not be a problem for me whats so ever!
And next level was amazing! :D

LOL those fake covers!!

Bridge to the Sky and Mirror are the best ayu interludes ever! I hope she has something that can catch up the epicness of those 2 interludes. :D lol @ people falling for the fake covers. *WHAT if those are the real covers o.O

^ bridge to the sky was amazing... I don't think she will ever be able to top that...

SURREAL__RAINBOW > haha, you're using my graphic from ayumihamasaki@tumblr as your ava :D that's nice ^^

BTW:
I had a dream again (yeah, I have them like, a lot really, when Ayu is realesing an album, I have 2-3 dreams about it) It was like I came to someone laptop to check facebook and there was a leak from Party Queen - it was a bonus track called "mad eyd" (yeah, eyed without an "e") and it was a alternate-remix ver of "Like a doll". The sound of it was creepy, the lyrics was the same as Like a doll, but the voice was slower-down with this creepy deep voiced, and the music was diffent, instead of "Like a doll" she was singing "Like a mad". And it was a youtube video with PV shooting (from ViVi preview) where Ayu was dressed as a pierrot , very similar touch to alterna pv, with heavy white make up and black eyeliner. It was creepy as *******, like Ayumi Hamasaki from hell o_O

lol omg sorry if i didn't ask for it, I don't have a tumblr :cry

It's gorgeous *o*

^ no problem, you can use it without crediting :) here at ahs, everyone can use my graphics as they like, I get mad when someone is taking my gifs at some portugal-out-of-nowhere forum and credit them as theirs >< xD anyway, enjoy!

There's a Portuguese Ayu forum?
