This is only really a small blip in her 15 years in the industry. IMO, she's never going to get the old popularity back because that was so long ago and also she was HUGE at the time. At best, she'd probably be able to get back to where she was in 2006/2007 if she wanted to promote (maybe for A BEST 3?) but that's probably the highest she can go.

She's still an empress, I think, just doing her own thing as per usual.

Fond memories, perhaps? In the sense that although things did go wrong there were good times also.



Feeling quite glad that I didn't bother with the JP press for LOVE and again. I only ordered them 2-3 days ago too - probably should have waited to see the tracklist for this first. Oh well. Lesson learned for next time. :laugh

I did the same thing.

You can still use those for the codes when the 5th release comes out if you get A Classical!

I'm not a fan of remixes so I won't be buying A Classical.

IMO, MY STORY Classical was much more than just a remix album. Hope we get previews for it soon since the reinterpretation is so much more 'out there' than on her usual remix albums.

goods are photobook and ayupan. :D

An empress who sales 44,000 on an album, yeah right!! Your right about one thing, she will never reach her past popularity if any!! in 2 more years i see ayu not even reaching the top 20. :yes

I haven't listened to that album either, admittedly. ^^;

Now I'm definitely questioning whether or not to keep my pre-order on. Think I may cancel - but in a week or two, because if I do it now I'll probably change my mind in the morning.

I have a feeling that You & Me is only there because its PV is connected to Wake me up and snowy kiss, because it seems really misplaced amoung the rest of the tracks...

I'm over the LOVE and again thing already. She clearly planned this since the beginning, thays why the names all fit together... I just don't get why calling them "mini-albums", maybe it's an Avex thing, or maybe she trully wanted to stop on the 50th single (though I don't see how long she can keep releasing stuff in the next years without releasing any more singles... 50 mini-albuns as well? @_@). But, whatever, those are singles, this is the album with the songs from the singles, that's it.

sad that lots of people are gonna cancel their pre orders. can't blame them though.

Oh, please.

A flop reaching a brand new level, worst than AGAIN :lech

I bet the fifth release will make up for this mess. I'm so excited for A CLASSICAL and that's coming very soon.

is there something you wanna say :wtf

How much you wanna bet that three of those seven new songs on the album are interludes? You know task'n'bass is an interlude, but I'm also thinking petal and Gloria are the others, no?

The description seems to clarify that there are five new songs which leaves two to be interludes.

Perhaps it's glasses?

most likely most of those new songs are interludes (or all of them). "task n bass" hmmmmmmmmmm.....

Even if I cancel I'll reorder a different press. I don't think I can bring myself to pay £40 for an album I already own half the content of - especially just two days after KAT-TUN's new single comes out. *is super fussy about press of KT CDs*
