I do hate this region-thing though, in the age of globalization and the Internet it feels like it should be a relic of the past. I don't begrudge the media industry for finding new ways to make money when they're losing so much due to illegal copying/downloading of media, but it feels sour when it's at the cost of the paying consumer who wants to enjoy international media.
And this little rant is going a bit off-topic so I'll just say: Terminal has been my groove for the last few days, I love it and I hope to be able to buy the album when I (supposing something doesn't go wrong) get money on Thursday.
Preach, sister!

Anyway, I wonder if Ayu will have a comeback of sorts? Nothing huge, but for her to have a "hit" again. I don't recall anyone saying anything about the songs on Colours being huge in Japan. I remember I read in another thread that people consider Days to be her last big hit?
