I dun have that hard feeling tho... (from 1999 as well
). Maybe because I have already prepared for this since her "decline" in 2004 or 05? The time when her albums and singles were not on yearly top 5 anymore..? No one can stay on top forever even tho I wish my idols would have that power. Also, this is not the first time she gets no. 2 weekly. Last time I got a really hard moment when GUILTY got no. 2, so this time I dun feel that bad. If this one ends up weekly no. 2, I can hope that she'll get no. 1 again for her next album.

I agree. We are her fans, yet many of us (including myself) didn't know why she used those covers until she explained it on twitter (?). I doubt general listeners would care about the meaning. For them it's just another new Ayumi Hamasaki album with her doing sexy poses. It's not 2000 - 2003, the time when she's still in the peak, and general listeners still wondered the meaning behind her songs/covers/etc.
