Agreed
Anyways, based on what I'm seeing and hearing I just don't feel about buying this album, if I wanted to buy it. Even since the Party Queen album I have NOT listened to all of the songs released since then. I have to say - what's going on?
Yes, I have to say, even though I'm not planning to buy this, I'm just not in favor of this album. And I'm predicting that there might be a possibility it's NOT going to be a #1 release, unless if there's no other powerhouses (you know - Johnny's acts older than Ayu - especially SMAP who beat out Ayu on A SUMMER BEST - are still strong, not Ayu...), but especially the fact that it's releasing 2/8, there's that release date disadvantage that we have to be careful of.
Now, I have to say, there are some things that I'm observing about
:
- The title of "LOVE again": Ever since the release of mini-albums "LOVE" and "again" the title is quite coincidental to Sayuri Sugawara's "Love Again" song (from "Open The Gate" album that I got in November, and you know I'm more of a Sayu fan this time than Ayu...) Umm...
- "task'n'bass" - What is that, really?
- I'm not sure about the covers...
Overall, if I had a choice between buying this or not, my answer would be a resounding
NO. 
Even the tracklist - I'm kind of skeptical about.
For Ayu's case in the future, if I'm planning to buy new releases, I'd rather wait until they announce the official tracklist and covers before deciding if I would buy something as such or not, so I'll be able to take input and hear what you guys here say. (The only exceptions that I would do for me is Yanawaraba, which is a HARD-TO-FIND artist today (unlike five years ago in the "Uta Gusui" era with a lot of success!), and sometimes Sayuri Sugawara, which in the case of "Open The Gate", I was actually pretty impressed with it...!)
