yeah it does get annoying at times I must admit

like the same thing , EXILE's FANTASY single is well a single according to the group but Oricon counted/slotted it in as an album ~_~

sometimes I wonder at at time like this , things can clash & etc

MAGAZINE wouldn't be out til 26th Jan but yeah 6 out of 10 new songs (should be 9 since the 1st track is an introduction haha) on the album already have leaked out on the net

Her official website states on Hellcat's page :

"衝撃のデビューアルバム！" Which litteraly means : Impact debut album.
That's why they also state "1st full album" instead of "debut album".

I've also checked with other shops such as HMV, amazon, neowing tetsuya and they all mention "debut album" in their description. So I guess we can conclude that Hellcat was indeed her debut album, but they don't consider it as a proper album, whereas MAGAZINE is a FULL ALBUM.

A bit tricky but that's they way it is.

Ayumi's A single is considered a single by her standards, but certified an album by the Record Industry Association of Japan. I don't blame them either. 14 tracks for a single? lol

Music is so tricky. I can't remember the name of the artist, but there is this band that released what they considered an "album" and it only had 2 songs on it. haha. They were normal 3/4 minute songs too. Not crazy 20 minute songs. So who knows what a real full length album is.

^Same with Superfly's Wildflower single.

Utena / Mylene said that the whole MAGAZINE album has leaked out :thud

except for Intro -MAGAZINE- :p

I'm going to listen to the other album tracks now , yoo hoo

... Took a listen since the rip is of a decent quality and it's a really solid album! Everything flows smoothly and I liked every single song on it.
My favs are : SWITCH, Why??, Loneliness and CELEBRATE <3

Hi, i know my rip is still a decent quality! I'm still find for 320kbps version ones! LOL!

I can assume that SWITCH, Somewhere... and Say Good Night are my favs of the album. I really love her ballads, rofl.

Omg! :heart Must download NOA.

sweet, its been a while since a release has leaked this early. LOVE this album and cannot wait for my copies to arrive.
