Thanks for the explanation on that monster album term.
It does make sense to me a lot more now.
Speaking of Black Cherry, it was definitely the final strike that made me her fan lol. Back when I started to listen to her music, it had just been announced and I had already gotten in love with BEST ~second session~ but I didn't call myself her fan yet. I was more into Ayu at the time but Black Cherry and Kingdom's singles were enough to make me realize that Kuu is my #1 J-Pop artist~
Gosh, some Ayu stans in another forum got so butthurt over this in 2008... :'D
