I can wait forever for an album. I'm used to singers who take forever to release music. But SPIRIT has been out for almost two days now. I hate when people have an album and don't upload it haha.

At least tomorrow is thursday and we know for sure we will have someone to upload it xoxo

prussian blue 28th April 2011 06:05 AM

what make me even frustrated is today is already thursday in my timezone :laugh

Fitst 28th April 2011 06:18 AM

Same here! I feel so stupid constaly posting in this thread. But I seriously can't stop checking to see if someone has uploaded the album online somewhere haha.

When will Oricon post the first day chart positions/sales?

prussian blue 28th April 2011 06:29 AM

avex complains how profits have slowed down - well this is why. Invest millions in the production of a new album and then spend 0 millions promoting it. I'm not casting aspersions on hitomi but that's like throwing money into a flaming trash can: pointless and a complete waste of cash.

Fitst 28th April 2011 07:10 AM

Okay. When hitomi releases her next album I'm going to bite the bullet and take a trip to Japan just so I can buy the album at midnight and upload it for the rest of us lol. This waiting game is killing me.

I agree. Avex are horrible at promoting their artists. which is so weird, because they are such a large record company. I guess they make all of their profits on their artists tours/a-nation and they just figure the albums will sell themselfs if people really want to buy them?

Like 2 weeks ago I went to avexs website and I stubbled upon their "new" business model. It said since sales of music (both digital and phyiscal) are falling, they are going to focus on making profits through artist's tours and the merchandise they sell there. There was also all this talk about restructuring and moving people to place where their strengths will benefit the most which could explain the sudden label change. I mean besides Ayu its seems like they don't really even try to promote their artists.

come on fedex man, need my album NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! it's been a long time since I bought an album with no previews out. please be good.

prussian blue 28th April 2011 03:45 PM

OMG!!! its sooooo cute!

kakumei 28th April 2011 04:15 PM

ok, uploaded the album at the usual places, enjoy.

I like a lot of it, but a few songs are just ... BAD BAD BAD ;)

EDIT
ok, after a few more (ok like 7) listens every song has grown on me except track 12 (I won't even mention its name)

they messed up her tour promo in it, it states "hitomi LIVE TOUR 2011~ SPILIT~"

not many pics either, the elephant one on the poster, hitomi with a computer monitor as a head, and a baby in a bunch of white wrapped presents, that's it.

prussian blue 28th April 2011 05:42 PM

hmm finished listening to the songs, and I have to say I'm not sure about her music style in this album, it sounds REALLY good in hands up!! (my favorite track in this album :heart) love me love body and rollin' with da homies and some other song, but other than that, she just sounds like singing songs that been rejected by Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, Private flower is a good example, I can see the Britney vibes.

But overall, the whole thing sounds very fresh to me, a very good try for hitomi as well.

EDIT: euww, typos in the promotion sheets sounds so cheap :rolleyes and how can you not liking the last song? :laugh I found its soo cute and interesting

Beauty4123 28th April 2011 06:35 PM

omg i love that poster! :heart

hsienko 28th April 2011 09:54 PM

My favorite album track: Spirit
Least favorite: Private Flower

This was really different than I thought it was gonna be but I'll say that I like it better than Love Life 2.

Fitst 29th April 2011 01:22 AM

i had crazy high expectations. This album met them in every way, although it was NOTHING like I thought it would be.

Its like someone took the clueless soundtrack, added in hitomi's signature sound, remixed it for the club with production values from 2020. Then the Virgin Mary herself baptised the album.

Its really too early to compare it to her other albums. But at this point I would say only thermo plastic, LOVE LIFE, huma-rhythm, and LOVE CONCENT are better. I love every track on this cd.

prussian blue 29th April 2011 06:47 AM

^thank you :D

does anyone feel SPIRIT (the song) has the same vibes with LOVE CONCENT (the song)? I can imagine this song will be sang in the last of the concert. Really a refreshing, summery song
