*dies* everytime I see a good comment I want to hear it already. It's lying in the "12th Album - Love songs" folder in my Ayu folder and...ARGH my gosh.
and identity, the album is actually growing on them! HAHA..truly an amazing record from reading the lyrics..and what people have to say about it alone. and thanks so much for popping by. It's great encouragement really.

Im just gonna be so interested in what those holding out for so long have to say once they have heard the album. It'll go either way hahah

---

edit: suddenly i lost hope.
I did an estimation of the delivery date based on Speedpost's (the EMS service in Singapore) website and it said "no later than 22nd"..thats when I put the ship out date as 18th
and when i changed it to 17th, the delivery date was "no later than 20th"..which would probably explain why when CDJapan puts Ïn Shipping Process on Friday's, I get my copies on Mondays. so...
this really has demoralised me.

it even saddens me why on earth was I so hasty that i didnt use FedEx which would obviously be the faster option over EMS =.=

I actually decided to go into the reviews thread and skim it. I didn't read any details... only really read general overviews and opinions, and I must say, it's done nothing for my expectations either way. There are people who are in love with the album, and people who think it's trash. I think it's more likely for me to be in the 'love it' category, because I loved loved LOVED NL, and from what I can tell, those who liked NL like this album. Of course that's a generalization but it seems to be a trend.

All in all, my resolve remains strong and I'm still excited beyond reason! :]

Only thing that really irks me is how much of the CD has been released as singles, and therefore, I've already heard. crossroad, MOON, blossom, SEVEN DAYS WAR, Sweet Season, Virgin Road... that's a big chunk of the album right there. Oh well... too late for regrets now I guess. To compensate, I've been staying away from listening to those songs lately, so that they won't be worn out by the time I hear the full album.

Im pretty sure they have shipped it. It's just not updated. It tends to be that way.

lol that's what I've been doing too. First, it wasn't intentional but I got a few inklings to listen to blossom and crossroad (my two favorites of the recent singles) and decided against it. It only started to get hard when I had MOON playing in my head all yesterday morning. I haven't listened to the L tracks much at all, and forgotten what they all sound like actually so this album will definitely have a fresh feeling once I listen to it.

I accidentically listened to a cover of do it again on youtube. It was in my sub box, and I clicked it and was like: "No...wait...WAIT, NO!" And I panicked. I only heard like a line or two, but, yeah



I hate that I'm such a poor bastard, using yesasia's free shipping option means I'll have that album at around 2 weeks after the release date. Damn.

I didn't like Next Level that much, but I like Love Songs.

Mhm, that's the problem with YA. The free shipping is great, but the shipping takes weeks!

That's the reason why I stopped using YA for new releases like albums or concert DVDs. I only use CDJapan for such things anymore. They are more expensive, but I gladly pay for getting my stuff earlier...!!
I only order merchandise and "older" things from YA anymore...


And I reli hope that CDJapan will not let me down this time!! I WANT THIS NEW ALBUM...NOW would be great, but I will be happy if it arrives before Christmas!!
I want to listen to the new songs and watch the new PVs soooo badly!!

Sorry, double post, but I have to tell somebody...

I don't think my album will arrive before Christmas and that makes me sooooo~~ sad!
I'm still hoping that it will, but I think it's kinda useless. The weather conditions are so bad that flights get cancelled so I don't think that my album will make it!

I feel like crying...

it's ok , you're not the only 1 that hasn't receive Love songs yet

I wouldn't get it next week if not early 2011 because I preordered the Taiwan press / CD + DVD which will be released on Fri

& to soothe your nerves in a way or 2 , I'm still being owe 4 parcels which I thought I might get them yesterday if not today but I didn't got them yet ~_~

I guess it's the festival holidays which explained why my parcels are delayed big time

I ordered a DVD from CDJapan 2 Thurs ago which was shipped & I used normal airmail & I haven't receive it yet

Mhm, they do!
But the weather forceast this morning said that flights get cancelled, because the weather is too bad and planes can't start. At least not planes that fly towards my country.

@Karen: Ah, I understand you. Waiting is horrible, especially when you are an impatient person like I am!

Well I just want that my album gets here safe and sound. I guess, I can wait a few days more too...

I guess you're living within Europe ? I read of heavy snowstorms going on in France

My French friend wanted to go to Paris last Fri (she stays at a different state in France) but she didn't go eventually because there was a heavy snowstorm at her end :x

I thought this year , parcels & etc wouldn't get delayed that much because Christmas falls on a Sat but er I guess it doesn't really matter when comes to circumstances

but it's ok , my parcels & your Love songs album will come eventually ! Good things are worth waiting for xD

Jup, I live in Europe...Austria to be precise!

And I actually love, love the winter, but well...I would love to get my album too!

But you're right...good things are worth waiting for and Ayu's new album is a very good thing!
