I'm just a bit torn seeing as receiving that poster is going to be a hassle and it's the first Jpop poster I'd actually get and it's probably going to be very ugly, lmao.

I think we need a new thread?

Thank you for making a new thread!

@Chiharo, I looked at the poster... it was just a calendar poster, bleh. I'd pass on that one too.

I follow Miliyah on instagram and she posted a photo of her holding the CD only album... it looked so huge and then the video she posted of the CD + DVD version is like bigger than her face, but when she turned over to show the back, THAT IMAGE looks great from the 1 or 2 seconds she shows it; should have been the cover, its even better than the cover for that version, haha.

Just saw it... oh wow. The CD + DVD one is SO thick, and the back image does look better. Actually, the cover doesn't look as bad on the actual album somehow. I'm glad I ordered this. I asked CDJ to fold the poster for me if possible but if not, whatever.

^ Do they usually fold or roll in a poster tube? Never ordered anything from CDJ with posters before.

But I agree, the CD + DVD cover doesn't look bad on the product itself.

I've never received a poster from them, but from what I've seen on their site they usually roll it up and put it in a big box together with the CDs taped in the middle. Which is why I asked them to fold it and send it in a more normal box because the one with the rolled poster is huge and I'd probably need to pay custom fees for it + it will be a hassle receiving it.

This is the picture from their site:

The inside of the CD only copy. It's just as ugly as the covers but oh well.

And the poster CDJ gives out maybe looks like this:

That inside cover actually reminds me of JASMINE's Best Partner cover, but the one which was actually blue and then they changed it (or maybe I'm just thinking of the normal one, I'm not sure). I just wish her facial expression was different - and although I don't like it the whole packaging is kinda weird which makes me kinda like it anyway if that makes sense.

So in love with this album <3 the only track I don't like (still) is Piece of cake. I've grown to like Shounen Shoujo eventually ^^ It fits nicely into the flow of the album. This is my party's beat is so banging. And Megami no hikari didn't disappoint either ^^ I thought the songs sounded quite samey from the previews but hearing the full tracks made me realize that the previews really don't do them justice. I'm kinda hoping someone will translate all the lyrics, Miliyah's lyrics are always interesting.

Edit: Listened to the whole album 4 times in a row now and I'm loving it a lot. Didn't expect it to be this good.

I really like LIBERTY! The only song I don't like is Want You Back and I never cared for FUTURE LOVER-未来恋人-. But the rest is great. And I'm so happy it's a way more diverse release than LOVELAND, which was boring as hell. I'm very satisfied with LIBERTY and I love love love the beat in This is my party. ♡

Literally exactly how I feel. I am really pleased with this album. It isn't as good as HEAVEN, but I need to accept that nothing will be. Easily one of the best albums in JPop.

I quite enjoy this release. As others have mentioned, there's just so much diversity, and I enjoy the overall theme of appearances that is consistent throughout the album, from WANNA BE to Lipstick. It's fantastic.

I'm not listening to the album until I get it; I was just wondering is there more to the new songs than what we could hear in the previews? Like different and more interesting parts. Or what I mean in general did the previews contain/show most of what we get in the new songs?
