I'd rather have 3 or 4 new solid songs rather than a 14 track album which would have most likely contained 7+ GEO compositions (or some other form of recycled material).

I have faith that the album tracks will be great, along with the PV's. She's had a lot of time to plan everything out. I'm just wondering how she'll tie all the songs together and make a good flow.

I think GEO's long gone, but Kazuhiro Hara probably would've had a lot to do with the album's songs :p

I have a really good feeling about the PVs and songs too.
I think they'll have amazing imagery and color.. <3 <3

Was Memorial Address originally advertised as 7 songs? Or 8?

[truehappiness]

Well, we got the announcement that it was 8, and people started speculating like crazy..

A quote from that thread that summarizes all that is happening now and what happened then:

Am I going to get the album? Yes, but not now. I'm still needing to get LOVEppears and I Am... first, then maybe whatever this album will be called. (any news on that?) *sigh* Still gotta love her though...the cover better be great for all of this fuss XD

EXACTLY. THE. FREAKIN' SAME. OMG.

But today, do people say: "2003 was SO mediocre?" No. They ADORE it as one of her most inventive years. :|

^Unfortunately some people still do complain about MA for it's lack of quantity, but that's a given. Seeing that someone will always find something wrong about an album and complain about it unless it's exactly the same as I am... (which even then people would complain about it being a copy of I am...)

The question is whether or not you care about what other people think.

Wow. I didn't know it was performed on TV. Great perf. Thanks for the screenies.

Are the album's pics shot in Miami, LA or Hawaii?

[truehappiness]

The album photos are likely to have been shot in a L.A studio, as she didn't do anything other than record in Hawaii and she did the calendar only in Miami..

However, nothing's for certain until she says anything.

It's the Japanese's Day of the week, like.. MOnday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc~

[Choyan]

I'm just hoping for an excellent cover XD...

[pop909]

...id laugh so hard if all 3 album songs are all GEO and are done by Jade...or are remakes or covers of other songs..

[bluegie]

Yes, but this time she'll have her hair in rainbow cornrows and beads and be wearing a giant white egg hat.

Amd.... it won't be a smile. It will be a grimace.

[bluegie]

JEWEL doesn't sound like GEO... and hopefully it won't be, not that i hate GEO, it's just too much.
