The man voice comment is interesting, I wonder if it's a man singing backing vocals or if Ayu's voice goes all weird? xD
I find it interesting how every aspect of this album has caused to much bickering....even internationally. People have complained about the title, the tracklisting, the number of interludes vs full tracks, that Rule/Sparkle aren't getting decent promotion because of the album, that she should be promoting the album more than her singles, that the covers are bad, that the limited release of the USB was bad, that the extra PCDL CD was bad, that the colours of the limited packaging were bad or they didn't get the perfect colour.
When we see the booklet shoots people will complain about how the lyrics are bad and the disc pictures will be bad and there won't be enough of this picture or that picture.
I bet people will complain if they don't get EXACTLY 1.3Gb of storage on the USB because one of the PVs was larger than Avex expected it to be. They'll also complain if they have 1.4Gb of space because that obviously means there wasn't enough effort put into the album to take up that extra 100Mb.
I am disappointed in 4 interludes. Disco-munication and Load of the SHUGYO (It'll take me forever to spell that correctly :eyeroll ) would have been epic titles for full tracks but I'll be happy if the rest of the album is good. I guess if she can't make a full track then she can't. I'm still excited, no doubt about it as I can tell this album is going to be great...what I dont' understand is how her "fans" have already given up on the album after hearing some second-hand reviews translated from another language. Have you ever been THAT disappointed by Ayu before? She's always been very consistent, she's the only artist apart from The Gorillaz that I buy ever album of even before hearing it
I just hope there are no Born to Be... PVs on the album and CREA gets some action...I can dream!
I remember reading that RAINBOW divided lots of the fans at the time, because it was so different. RAINBOW is easily my favorite album and is a favorite for many of her fans - it just took time to sink in properly. I hope that's the same this time around...
