I'm kind of afraid for this new album. no cover or offical tracklisting yet. . .

Its not like hitomi has horrible sales or anything. you think avex would put some kind of promotion into this new album . . . or atleast she would blog some official info.

Well I think the label change complicated things.

from the description, this is going to be all rock/club music.

oh and,
"Rollin' wit da Homies ft. Rivers Cuomo" announced collab now

OMG. that cover is so totally different, but AMAZING at the same time. :luv2 wow!! i love the nurse concept! the promo pic is beautiful, too. :heart

i'm pretty excited to hear what "rollin' wit da homies" will sound like. :tipsy

I think that may be her best album cover. I am so happy with it <3

^
I totally agree.

So I guess that tracklisting is real after all. The article says that Advanced Alternative Media (AAM) is going to be her new management firm/is going to handle the promotion for this album (idk I'm confused on what it said), MAXIMUM 10 is her new label and she worked with producers who has previously worked with Madonna and B. Spears for this album and that she wanted a new start to celebrate her 17 years in music.

^ madonna and britney's producers? wow! doesn't hitomi really love madonna? i remember reading that a very long time ago on hitomi's wikipedia page. :P

omg dies :thud



yes, hitomi is a big fans of madonna! she attended her concert in her teenage days

beside the flawless hitomi, the photoshoot remind me of chara's dark candy

the video for HMV is available, dont really like the make-up and she sounds drunk :laugh It's so funny how she pronounced HMV

i don't really like the cover...
the costume and her pose looks kinda cheap..and made it looks like xxx cover...LOL

is there gonna be a new PV on this album, btw? besides for Smile World?

speaking about "cheap", LOVE LIFE 2 might be even cheaper for you then. I think this is quite fine, she just did a cosplay for being a nurse. When you look at Namie wearing an air stewardess holding a whip, you dont think she's cheap too, do you? But I totally understand why people think this is cheap though, blame the porn in Japan.

Idk, there hasn't been any confirmed news on track listing and whether or not there will be a DVD edition with PVs.

Well I thought that about the Play cover, I thought it was ugly and kinda dumb. But I think they're supposed to be 'simple' covers.

a CD+DVD is not announced, nor available in any online CD shop, so I probably think there will be no PV for this album.

Actually I prefer the clean and simple white cover more than the spotlight cover. And I still dont get the connection between the album title and the cover image

oh my hitomi ;)

You're looking goooood. :heart

hitomi is in the top page of yahoo music japan :heart I think there's some sort of preview but I cant listen to it :(

Me either. I think its a preview of a new song called "All the time."

some of the preview is available in yahoo japan, but only premier user can listen to them, sigh

Ah the album comes out in a few days anyways.

:yes: 5 days till its on iTunes. ACTUALLY! Do you think they will be putting it on American/UK iTunes at midnight? It is an American record label after all . . . .
