I rather kill myself if this cover appears on NEXT LEVEL.

I also forgot to mention that everyone should also stand-by on Play-Asia too.

Around $70 below.

dont worry it's a badly photo shopped image with Ayu's face xD the body could be Celine Dion's xD

^ I know!

Nice combination of faces BTW.

Im still wondering what NEXT LEVEL looks like on colored cases and even the covers.

njanjayrp · #**483** 18th February 2009, 09:37 AM

I wonder if the colored cases could look like the Fly High one?

CHAS_AYU · #**484** 18th February 2009, 09:42 AM

^Yes, I think they will be something like that.

(Not likely though)

Anyways, I'm looking forward to it since I haven't necessarily listening to her new stuff (heck her in general, I haven't even listened to Sparkle yet) so it will be very refreshing for meh listening to this new album ^^

OH YA. I really think that she will make one jazzy song for NEXT LEVEL, since it's about new styles etc

Xelakad · #**486** 18th February 2009, 01:25 PM

I hope this new album will be as good as the 2 singles ! I want beautiful ballads like Days and powerful songs like Rule/Sparkle !!
I don't think Mirrorcle World will be on this album because it was the introduction for Guilty, and I don't hope so because it will be replaced by another new song!
But why not.. Koda Kumi had full version of "Black Cherry" introduction in her next album after Black Cherry.
I hope there's a special packaging with the 2CD+DVD version !
Somebody found the USB version ? It's out of print everywhere ! Very ultra limited version, apparently...

maaya · #**487** 18th February 2009, 02:10 PM

on the jpophelp, there sitll have but with the very expensive price

elekons · #**488** 18th February 2009, 02:14 PM

maybe i bought that album very wonderfull althought i want more song 15 tracks but is good album

Deep snow · #**489** 18th February 2009, 02:33 PM

dear me, 13 songs? i was hoping a 16-er..
am i reaching for the stars?

anyway, the 2CD+DVD packaging is good, but i'm still disappointed because there'll be only 13 tracks in there >,<
let's see, with Days, GREEN, Rule, and Sparkle, there'll be nine album tracks
i hope they're not, like, FIVE interludes.

i hope this one sells better than GUILTY, that album sure is guilty of selling so awfully low

13 tracks? oh God... i hope they're all good...

Yeah I wanted more tracks too

13 is simply way too little! If she wants to get away with 13 tracks, there better be NO interludes... seriously.

I don't get why people are complaining about 13 tracks--but honestly, you guys complain about anything =/ Who cares if you think that's short? You get a new album from her, which is better than nothing at all, yeah?

Um, what the hell are you talking about? It reached 900k in sales.

Ayumiko · #**493** 18th February 2009, 09:05 PM

^no what are YOU talking about??? GUILTY sold around 568k in total.

Anyways, I'm fine with 13 tracks as long as we don't get a lot of interludes....ideally max 2...it'll be nice if it turns out like Duty...only one intro track.

Bad Wolf · #**494** 18th February 2009, 09:08 PM

Obviously I thought it was 900k O_o Which is why I said it. I don't think I've ever seen her studio album be THAT low before.

ETA: If I'm wrong, then I'm sorry lol I just don't think GUILTY was that horrible in sales. People make it out to be this godawful flop when really, I just think they're being dramatic.

Ayumiko · #**495** 18th February 2009, 09:13 PM

I don't think GUILTY's sales were that bad...her standard yes but compared to other artists, its not bad at all. I do hope NEXT LEVEL will sell more and stay on the charts longer.

GRACE · #**496** 18th February 2009, 09:28 PM

13 tracks with 4 asides is alright for me. It's better than 15 tracks and 8 asides like another favorite of mine >.>....

She can make it work, Duty had 12 tracks and it was still spectacular. As long as she keeps it at one interlude (or even not an interlude, a vocal opening track would be cool too like Mirror), she can still pull a great album.

love in music · #**497** 18th February 2009, 09:31 PM

i hope part of her 'NEXT LEVEL' thing is having no interludes anymore

If she does that, it may turn out so awesome she has to turn it into a full length track and then she'll be following Kumi's trend hahaha

Let's move to Thread II to continue the discussion.
Thanks
