GOLD's CD + DVD is limited just like Complexxx + it has a digipak unlike the CD only

Maybe Complexxx will be like that too ?

Don't you realise Complexxx will be released end of the month? guess not if not you should expect HERO not to do as sell/chart as well as High Flying + High Flying had 2 editions but not HERO

It really annoys me everytime you come into here & other artistes' threads + solely discussing about their chart positions/rankings on Oricon while you ignore the other aspects of things

I wonder sometimes if you solely support someone just because he/she is the latest in thing or something else

Bottomline's spare a thought for the artiste/s I like/support. I do not need you and/or Oricon to tell me that JASMINE makes great music while her chart ranking sucks but do I care about it?

Obviously not as I'm not narrow minded unlike you

I wouldn't be upset or call him narrow minded. He just told you that he has asperger's and apologized so you should be a bit more understanding. Ijs. I highly doubt he means any harm. Bigtop isn't one of our drama-prone members lol.

--------
Anyway,

I'm excited for this album.

I'm just not the hugest fan of this font that she's been using. Like for her name. Blah lol.

I'm more in love with High Flying and Hero than the previous singles so I'm more excited now :)

Using illness as an excuse for thoughtless posts to me is unacceptable. I'm partially deaf slightly but you do not see me using it as a 'crutch' when it comes to my posts

Everyone in AHS is not given both a Submit Reply & Preview Post options for nothing. There is always a choice in everything

====

Since I do not buy JASMINE's singles I'm not so affected by the bsides included in Complexxx

In fact it just so happens the bsides that're included are some of my faves from her including Touch me on the beach <3

No offence Karen, but partial deafness is very different to Aspergers. Bigtop was simply explaining why sometimes his posts can come across as strange to perhaps people who don't know more about him, rather than using it as a 'crutch'. He has apologised for his earlier comments and that's where it should have ended. If you have an on-going issue with another member's behaviour, report it to the moderating team instead of potentially coming across as rude and disrespectful yourself by continuing a misunderstanding. I recommend you look up Aspergers so you understand how badly this post was worded.

Sorry for continuing the O/T posts, but I felt this had to be said openly. If anyone wants to continue this discussion, please PM me or each other.

I really like the album cover preview, I think I saw a poster yesterday in Shibuya, but I'm not sure, didn't have the time to double check.
But the promo for the single was a bit better this time.. It's getting some airplay on radios and on Shibuya screens as well. There was a nice stand in Tsutaya Shibuya and Shinjuku's as well :) Had a hard time finding her single in smaller shops though so that might explain the bad sales.. (not to mention the scary cover but that's another matter lol)

But yey, ordered my copy, hopefully I'll like the songs <3

That said to prevent this from happening again I think I will just ignore him completely or put him in my Ignore list. That way I will risk less of myself in getting angry over petty issues and just move on with life as it's

Life is just too short for me to worked up on this like really as I have a life outside of the net

I've already preordered my copy via hmv. I might cancel it and reorder again if Matsushita Yuya's new album gets released on the same day in physical cd format XD

Just put him on your ignore list if bigtop bothers you that much, Karen. It's not that hard.

Album cover is pretty. But idk I'm just not excited lol

they either changed the cover or we are actually getting two covers this time, this one is shown as the +DVD cover at a couple of news sources:

Fierce cover, love it!
Promo is also gorgeous.

Love both pics, but the one with that sword (?) is mind-blowing :thud

looks as though she's holding a pole to me in the 1st photo , it's tiny but it could be a sword ?

JASMINE looks downright bad ass for sure <3

The cover is soooo gorgeous :heart

I'm trying to think what power she would have if she was a X-Man.

the power to change haircolor whenever she sees fit of course ♥

gorgeous cover :heart

^ she has had a few great covers, I've loved this last run up to the new album. and best partner's cover would have been brilliant, if they hadn't changed the color at the last minute. GOLD's whole concept was amazing though, so maybe it's just the albums they put that extra effort into.
