Heads down to Timmy, those two are my favorites.

There was a concept behind the album but as usually final result is mix & match.

i'm hoping the inside pic to be hardcore, since the cover ayu in rope.

its to simple. but its ok

:love The inside pictures are soooooo beautiful!
I ended up growing fond of the covers, she looks so cute!



:shakehead I don't understand how people were expecting a "strong" concept
inside the booklet, we got another cutesy cover so the booklet matches it.
Did you guys expect her to be tied up bondage style with a cute cover like that?
Pleeeeeeease.

still no cd rip so far? and I really want TA concert rip

Ohh finally... i just wanna hear SORROWS

all the massive screens in Shibuya crossing are playing the CM for Made in Japan!

Okay I've only watched the digest video and not the full thing - but she sounds vocally AMAZING in the TA tour!

It sounded good but at the same time I could feel that same smoothing filter they have been using on her live releases for years which makes her sound extremely processed and as if I can't fully feel the emotions in her heart. It gives a robotic, more "idol"-esque feeling to her shows. Also, I find it ironic she is hawking this "natural" self concept and her messages in music for years have been about stripping away the glammed-up manufactured identity of hers yet she still wears those unGodly contacts which are anything but natural. She looks like a monster when she wears those! Her natural eyes are the most beautiful in the entire world, it's a pity she wears those gawdy things.

^ i can't disagree about that, but at the same time, a vocal performance that can make the worthless song that is Sorrows sound good is something that I have to give credit to lol.

Listening to MIJ in its properly mastered CD version instead of those LQ web rips is SUCH a treat. FLOWERS was already great before but being able to hear the layering now takes it to a whole new level.

MADE IN JAPAN in HQ is so much better

tasuku did such a damn amazing job with arrangements as usual. And mixed well!
