I just love how this album creates a so called battlefield between the old and new fans.
To me, it's not only her music, but her image(s) and such attracted the fans in the early days. It's quite obvious that her images for the last few years weren't that creative at all. Like... she has used the "glamorous" and "cute" theme since (m)u (and that was 2005). She practically did those similar summer songs since fairyland (except last year).
She did mention that she didn't wanna be the front trendy because she's getting older (not old btw) and she wanna focus on something else. But I'm glad that she finally making something conceptual again. NEXT LEVEL covers do wow me to a certain extend. I really hope the new songs give me a wow as well.
@ all.night.raver's: I won't puke lol... I dun think it'll be that urban even if she's doing one. I think those songs will just have a tiny bit of urban hint inside... Yeah... I can't imagine ayu singing FUNKY TOWN or Sexy Girl..
