I suppose the arrangement is pretty unique, but I personally found the song a little bit too slow. I mean it's good, but I just don't often have enough patience to listen to slow songs like this one lol I like her voice there though

TODAY is one of my favourite songs on the album, because I like the message in the lyrics and the melody and arrangement are really cute, especially the part that starts at 2:33, so I'm glad she worked with Shun. I understand though why people dislike it.

I'm just wondering if people are still going to like YATOO after a while or if they'll start hating it just like HBYA haha

I think people will hate it eventually just like how beautiful you are.

I like the cheesiness, lol. She doesn't do these kinds of tracks much so any kind of experimentation is nice.

Are PVs going to be really simple this time around? She usually hints at stuff or has pictures around now but... NOTHING???

Though... two images we have yet to see anywhere else. From PV shooting? It's the only thing that makes sense.



The simple black straps give me Mad World vibes.

The poster's pic is far too gentle to me :laugh

It feels like the ayu photobook pt.2 kinda, lol. She looks AMAZING but there's no edge to the photo.

Most of her shoots as of late aside from perhaps the La Perla shoots and the "normal" M(A)DE IN JAPAN covers really don't have much to them aside from being pretty against a plain background. I love when Ayu looks good, but I like when she looks good and interesting even more.

Is it me or does Ayu look pretty horrible in the poster?
Like... so fake again and so unlike herself.
Definitely don't like the poster. Still interested in the paper they're using for it though.

Most of her covers are beauty shots so I don't really mind her just looking pretty, but I absolutely detest the plain white background/white bed now, after seeing how often she's been shooting with them these past few years.

Do we have the covers of M(A)DE IN JAPAN in HQ or not already?

^ I saw only 1280x1280 CD+DVD and 1024x1024 for other

If that's pretty horrible I'm a trash can lol

I think the poster is just beautiful, is like the calm before the storm.
I would have preferred something like that to be the cd covers.
Ah well to each his own.

I really like the poster.

I love the poster, she looks really fresh :yes and that lipstick color is adorable.

Billboard reported on the fan meeting, turned out it's just a gathering of some models and talents talking about their memories of ayu's music.

I think this would be decent promo for MIJ since some of these girls are insanely popular among young people, hopefully the title "MADE IN JAPAN" makes them curious :)

We still have preview from the PVs?

I wonder if the PVs are just lyrics PVs now. LoLoLoLOloL

It is possible that we'll get progress-like PVs.

The poster is beautiful at first glance and then you keep looking at it and it starts to creep you out a bit. She looks so vulnerable and kind of sad. Makes me feel like I should be helping her or something...if that's what she was going for it turned out great and of not well creepy indeed. Lol

poster is like one scene from Sweet scar PV. When she was smiling and next second almost crying

I don't know. To me the poster is like every beauty shot of her.
So, it is just pretty. I don't see any story.

She does because somebody was playing in Photoshop with changing shape of her face (again) but couldn't even keep both sides the same.
