I can't wait to see all of them! :)

BTW. I hate how everything went for this album. Lack of promotion = my main problem, though that will be taken care of soon I think (26 interviews approx). And another thing is how we still have those LQ covers, I mean like come on :/ I want 1000x1000 or even 2000x2000 px covers not the sad 500x500 or 400x500.

CHAS_AYU 22nd March 2012 05:08 AM

^Thanks. There are four songs composed by Timmy.

TeamAyu2004 22nd March 2012 05:30 AM

^yes and two of them are really really good...
the other two... not my cup of tea! (hehe)

ExodusUK 22nd March 2012 05:33 AM

Timmy will be able to live off the money he'll make from this album (maybe not as it's more Flop Queen than Party Queen but w/e), he has royalties in pretty much every song.

truehappiness 22nd March 2012 05:50 AM

Oh, the guy on guitar for Return Road (Takehito Shimizu) was part of HAL when it was still together. I wonder if him working alone is proof that HAL is no more as a duo.

Agieboyz 22nd March 2012 05:57 AM

Wow Timmy appear in every song...

Aderianu 22nd March 2012 06:37 AM

Glad to see that the strings (and other unusual instruments) are real strings (and instruments), and not electronic samples...

isthisLOL? 22nd March 2012 02:11 PM

Those people really are at the forefront of the international music business like the promotional texts said. Some have worked with people like Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Duran Duran, U2...theres even composers of actual, acclaimed classical music and arrangers for operas and orchestras in there working on the strings arrangements. Whoever said it were tacky, wannabe classical influences because of Timmy fails since at least some quite clearly weren't.

toniayu 22nd March 2012 02:15 PM

I'm getting really mad and angry xD
I think this album should had be on the #1 place selling a lot...japanese people doesn't appreciate...good things >_____<
