Such is life but once again it always comes down to missing the boat on potential.
There was a concept behind the album but as usually final result is mix & match.

The inside pictures are soooooo beautiful!
I ended up growing fond of the covers, she looks so cute!



I don't understand how people were expecting a "strong" concept
inside the booklet, we got another cutesy cover so the booklet matches it.
Did you guys expect her to be tied up bondage style with a cute cover like that?
Pleeeeeeease.

It sounded good but at the same time I could feel that same smoothing filter they have been using on her live releases for years which makes her sound extremely processed and as if I can't fully feel the emotions in her heart. It gives a robotic, more "idol"-esque feeling to her shows. Also, I find it ironic she is hawking this "natural" self concept and her messages in music for years have been about stripping away the glammed-up manufactured identity of hers yet she still wears those unGodly contacts which are anything but natural. She looks like a monster when she wears those! Her natural eyes are the most beautiful in the entire world, it's a pity she wears those gawdy things.

^ i can't disagree about that, but at the same time, a vocal performance that can make the worthless song that is Sorrows sound good is something that I have to give credit to lol.

Listening to MIJ in its properly mastered CD version instead of those LQ web rips is SUCH a treat. FLOWERS was already great before but being able to hear the layering now takes it to a whole new level.

1st day sales - #2 ; 19,898

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2016-06-28/

Sales difference between the 1st 2 spots is 3,580 so there's probably still a chance for the album to get #1 , provided it doesn't drop like files in the next few days
