Well not really. Avex is the one who sends all copies to distributors lol

I was just kidding about the publicity stunt thing, but I find it odd that they'd do this.

^ I know know! Thats why i said all of japan is in on it.
I dont even think avex is considered that big of a company... isn't it still technically an independent company? (meaning not a big time company, Sony, Universal, WB... which come to think of it, the only difference is that those three are international the world over.)



he wasnt talking about beauty... he was saying that the chest is underdeveloped, which his chest is small compared to some people and not as defined as his abs, hence the comment.

He was questioning my beauty ideals openly in his post ("are you serious?") and used his subjective ideal of developed(there is no objective "underdeveloped" as not everybody strives to reach the same development ratio and body shape) as argument for that. I don't see how it's not about beauty. :shakehead
If he feels like I misunderstood his post please let him explain it to me himself, since it's obviously possible I misunderstood, but I'd prefer hearing that from the person I supposedly misunderstood, not a third person that may be just as wrong as me.

As per always, the booklet shots are way more gorgeous than the covers.

I was commenting mainly because I agree with him about it being underdeveloped. And saying he is underdeveloped is not subjective in the fact that he is smaller then some people.
Just because you dont want to reach a certain level of fitness doesnt mean you are still developed as much as others. He is underdeveloped. fact.
Is he happy with his body, a different story all together. Do you think he is hot... yet again another story. beauty is subjective, but actual level of fitness is not.
As for the bolded part. You are being an **** so do us all a favor and stop it.

I concur. I don't hate the cover photo, but some of those shots are just really stunning. :yes


Not to barge in, but there are fitness and size ideals that vary from person to person, so I do also think the statement that he's underdeveloped is subjective.

Woah, Audience sounds noticeably different. I'm not a fan, it sounds kind of flat and empty. Monochrome just sounds a bit clearer, but it hasn't lost that muffled feel that makes it so good.

I can't hear any difference on the other songs. :/

^ The beginning of AUDIENCE is SO different...
They DID pull an "A BEST". Yuck. I hate it.

EDIT: the intro of Greatful Days is different. It's louder than the original. There have been a few effects added (REALLY small)

^really?But I think it is the A COMPLETE version....not new remastered version

^ I never listened to A COMPLETE because I already have the songs on the CD + Mirrorcle World.. so I wouldn't know. :P

Ahh I want my copy already, I wanna listen to it!! :thud

I dont think they would remaster the remasters from Abest 2??

I think they have remastered the original again, not remastered the remaster. xD

Audience sounds very similar to the Dave ford mix on the single to me. It's not entirely the same, but I find it similar.

The beginning of Boys & Girls is also different than the album version. You can hear her taking a breath before the talala's. It's similar to the Aube mix from the single.

I was speaking from technical terms and not regarding preference / beauty standpoint (although I do prefer chest to be fuller - mine is more developed than his and I still am nowhere near content). But, most bodybuilders don't focus on a certain area, they strive to focus on a well-balanced overall physique, without certain muscle areas being noticeably overpowering. Hence the term "body"builder, lol.

MARO is still hotter than many people out there I tell ya :innocent

I don't get all this bodybuilding talk :shrug Take it away from this thread please lol

lol is it ust me or do i see a mark of untaned skin from tiny bikini here?
