But in a way, isn't it cool? Ayu NOT introducing her album even warrants an announcement. I think that shows that people are actually waiting for the CD.

I kind of like that cover, but I hope Ayu never pulls that off. It'll be soooo dissapointing.

LOL, so many people read the first post and quickly posted instead of bothering with the correct information.

Ugh. That's so true. Give Secret a day or two, and threads with "Ayu sucks compared to Kumi" are sure to crop up.

I have no idea. Probably the money thrown in the projects work wonders. With all her promotion, I actually started liking her songs. Probably it's the same with everyone else.
