I would say I like the cover, but I'm not sure how far my love can go with this cover. That's all.

I think.. the reason I kinda falter this time is that I dunno what I should expect from this album. For the last three or four years, she was sorta into the ROCK era, so I kinda expected how her music would go in each album (except (m)u). For this new one I dun really know. I know she has done techno before (LOVEppears, to me, is one of her best albums), and I feel this album should be going to the techno side... Somehow I have a feeling that this album may not be similar to LOVEppears... And the cover actually makes me feel that she's doing something bold again.. I hope NEXT LEVEL won't suffer (m)u fate (i.e., scaring her Japanese fans away).

the last Ayu song I didn't like was Close to you. I feel exactly the same about LOVEppears, but yeah so far I don't think NEXT LEVEL will sound like LOVEppears. It's really weird cuz I knew what to expect for the last couple of albums and now xD Everything's kinda possible, but the fact that she worked with CMJK and Nakano prolly means that her music won't change drasticly, JK-san is prolly doing the techno/electro songs while Nakano must be doing the rock ones
