And yes, I do want the leak. I pre ordered the album, but hello, it's 2016, music is going to leak no matter what. Why is it their right to have early access to the album?

Be grateful that at least they are giving you previews of the songs and booklet. They have the right to have early access to the album because they choose to pay more for it. It is sold at a ridiculously expensive price in a Hongkong CD shop, where they always sell the new release on Saturday.

A leak on Baidu basically means it is going to be everywhere. There are music streaming services in China using these leaks and free downloads on Baidu to make a profit, if you didn't know. That is why some fans on Baidu usually make a difficult password to the document, or add some special affects in one of the song to fuck those real assholes over. OR, they just simply choose not to share it. I know Perfume fans never leak any of their new singles or albums.

LAST, I don't understand why are you even mad. Yes, a leak would be nice. But if not, ok let's just wait.

I'm quite relaxed...but I'm stating how I feel about certain things!

Anyway, it's a good thing that there's such hype and anticipation for the album!

Who is mad? And no, I'm not grateful. Personally, keep the previews and booklet pics to yourself then. If anything, previews spoil the songs. If it were the official site posting them, sure! But people doing it cause they have access to the full album? Psh. It's the principle.

So...an illegal profit? Why am I not surprised. I didn't know any of that though.

I don't think anybody is mad. He's just stating how he feels about the whole thing.

I've been away from forums for about 7 years and you guys STILL take everything so seriously!!!!!!!!!!111!1!!!1!1!!!111!!111! gosh. If we say we want the leak it's because we want to listen, just this. *roll eyes* don't unjoke our jokes, thank yew.

(STILL.NO.DAMN.LEAK HAHAAH T^T)

Leaking albums only benefits cheap and impatient fans. I mean the album comes out soooo soon. What's the difference if it leaks now or on the release date? Very little. Plus we have access to quite a few tracks already! We know Michi, Hanataba Wo Kimini, Tomodachi, Manatsu No Tooriame, Nijikan Dake no Vacance, and Sakura Nagashi. That is 6 out of 11 tracks. We have half of the album already!

I do understand the frustration of wanting an album to at last come out. I feel it too! The album is all finished and it's just sitting there waiting to be released. But no one owes you an album leak.

Baco__ · #**289** 26th September 2016, 09:35 PM

yep. this is exactly how we feel. that the fans who already have the CD owe us the leak. way to go nancy drew!

The power of Godtada. Got us arguing over literally nothing. When will any of your faves ever.

amorphose · #**291** 26th September 2016, 09:52 PM

Maybe if we all choose a member to sacrifice to Godtada she will bless us with a leak.

Posting pictures of an album that people have bought themselves is bragging?

Here I'm just happy that we're finally getting a new album after yeeeeears

ExodusUK · #**298** 27th September 2016, 02:00 AM

You can go buy it now

Baco__ · #**299** 27th September 2016, 02:04 AM

It's been so long since I last bought a Japanese CD, but as far as I remember the color of the OBI was the same, even though it was Chinese/Taiwanese/Korean version. But those OBI are different from what people on Baidu posted (and I prefer the orange one). Why is that? Or my memory is playing with me and the OBI was always different from country to country?

The OBI is orange, I think that's just a retailer specific wrapper/obi on top.
