Do " NEXT LEVEL" really gonna be the Next Level??

[wannajoin_Team Ayu]

yayaya I want something more shocking than Sparkle (it's spinning in my brain again and again today )

if NEXT LEVEL's sales higher than her previous albums, that will be awesome~ and it will encourage all of us step forward

[jbrat2219]

I hope it does at least outsell GUILTY! All the USBs are gone so that's a good indication that people are at least interested!

Well yeah, she's still one of the biggest selling artists in Japan. I'll admit, though, for quite a few years, every album that's been released has had lower sales than the previous one.

I have a feeling in the back of my head that NEXT LEVEL will do very well... I don't know why. Maybe it's because every song has been sounding brilliant to me so far

It should at least sell better than GUILTY.

I hope NEXT LEVEL can break that saddening tradition! If A COMPLETE can sell close to a million, I believe this album can too!

[emi♡]

I hope so....

the fierce rock stuff is really starting to get to me.

[AyUta]

I believe this new album will be full of surprises

[Andali]

I'm looking forward to the covers. I hoping something electric, like neon blues and pinks, lol. Coz of the special colour cover releases, maybe my suspicions might prove correct. But if Sparkle is anything to go by, it'll be well worth the wait and hopefully pleasantly surprising.

[Fairily_Spark]

I'm not sure, there's only like 5 new songs in this? Whereas GUILTY had 6.

[TeeMo]

I guess so. Like Sparkle, gave me a new feeling.

[vampireknightzero]

really hope there will be some CREA compositions or CREA+DAI compositions..miss them badly..

I hope there will be a song in the album that will become my fav!

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

I hope it's something like a new version of (m)u.

except upgraded!


hope theres a concept behind the covers tho!

[Alther]

i think so!....because I think that after hearing Sparkle.

^RAINBOW's singles:::
Rock (Free & Easy) VS Upbeat-Rock (independent) VS Slightly Tech-ish Pop (July 1st) VS Emo Ballad (HANABI) VS J-Ballad (Voyage)

true true...but the variety for NEXT LEVEL is like...much stronger somehow...feels so to me...maybe coz im a fan after MY STORY

i also hope its AS VARIED AS (m)u and MA...those two had fantastic variety

RAINBOW has the most variety out of all her albums, imo.

Though, with NEXT LEVEL's single releases it seems that there will variety in this record Nothing beats RAINBOW's in that department imo

I dunno, I just listened to RAINBOW the other day, I feel it's a strong pop album... I don't hear much variety It may have different elements in it, but over all very pop... to me at least!

I hope NEXT LEVEL is nothing like her previous albums. I don't want to be able to compare it to RAINBOW or (miss)understood or anything, I want it to truly be THE NEXT LEVEL.

[Lanz16]

I doubt 1000%

NEXT LEVEL would be a huge drastic change on her music stylings.
(m)u, I Am..., and RAINBOW are the ones that has various genres.

Sparkle and Rule are example for the new album's music track.


Im still wondering what the covers LOOKS like?
Who knows... (m)u covers anyone?

ehehehehe....

[terra]

What I really hope is....please don't include MW...I know it's her fiercest rock track ever but still I guess Japan (and myself) had enough of MW XD

If we exclude MW there will be like 9 new songs, then minus the worst chance of getting interludes (3 songs) we would get 6 new pieces.

From Sparkle I could say that NEXT LEVEL would be Next Level indeed, I'm expecting like
1-2 Interludes
1 Rock Song
1-2 Ballads
2 Techno Pops
1-2 Pops

[UHPlus]

IMO, (miss)understood contains new style of music for ayumi. But look at it, people don't really like it...

So i think ayumi can never possible change her music style at all. The title just a Wo Wa, nothing either..

[hiroshi_ben]

its likely for her to move to another kind of music...but PLEASE DON'T DO THAT AYU!i still prefer the kind of music ayu had now and before...MAYBE once a while she releases something different is alright to me

in the other hand..i think NEXT LEVEL might refer to another new road for her..starting everything again...since her 10th year has ended and its yet another LEVEL..so shes starting everything all over again i think
