It wouldn't bother me so much if that cover they have up didn't look like a cheesy background you'd see from websites in 1995....

I thought she just said that it doesn't look as good as it does in person...

Although tbh, there's not much you can do with that kind of picture except make it sparkly or something lol Maybe it's holographic! lol

I don't know why people are criticizing those who buy the physical album because of the cover. I mean it is completely understandable, why spend so much money on the physical album if you could just buy it online. Like you guys said music is music.

Having a nice cover gives a few the incentive to buy the actual album.

man, now the utada threads are moving fast. haha. Just today we probably have made 10 pages worth of posts. Thanks hikki!

My thread didn't reach 500 posts till like 2/3 months? this was made september 11th, and it's only october 4th and we are nearing the end of this thread. haha

We're too excited about the best haha
Hope she reveals soon what kind of songs they are.

Lol, Hikki never fails to underwhelm. But I love her [music] anyway.
<3

I did! :yes I like the cover and I said it like 2 times already :laugh

Even looking at it again today, without the excitement if it being brand-new, I still like it! It's so epic, I dunno I just like it.

But I wonder if this will be the album cover or the slipcase cover.

Once again, threads move at the speed of light whenever people complain, and people complain about people complaining! :D

*gives everyone around her a big group hug, and writes it like this because she's too lazy to find the smiley for it*

Don't think I won't buy it because of that though. I have pt. 1, and I've been waiting for like, forever like everyone else for a pt. 2 to pop up.

i don't have part 1.i'm still searching for 2nd hand (because brand new is sold out at everywhere)
i can't wait to see the packaging.i bet it must be the stars are embossed.or maybe 3d? :P

cdjapan still has vol. 1: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TOCT-25300

opps.sorry.i forgot to mention that i am searching for OS press XD

lol @ the cover XD I'm sure it'll look better in real life maybe kuma will pop up as a shooting star

I just hope "Can't Wait 'Til Christmas" won't be too...christmassy XD;; I hate those kind of songs

yeah... that's the only song I have concern at this moment. According to her skills, she should not be making cheesy song. Then again, sometimes she just loves making silly songs out of the blue (such as boku wa kuma, which I like :P).

I hope it won't turn out to be "we wish you a merry x'mas and a happy new year..." :shakehead

ooh.. I can't help then.. surimase :doh...

lol Utada Hikaru Christmas album!

All I Want For Christmas Is Your Dirty Desire

I totally want this now.

Aww I was hoping the cover to be something like Volume 1 but oh wells. I'm kinda put off by the Beautiful World remix though because the other digital singles are missing so I just feel like the tracklist is incomplete :(

Yeah, I was hoping for Fight The Blues to be included, and that was even before SCV2 was announced. But oh well as long as she's releasing something, I'm happy :D

Yeah I'm a bit bummed about which singles are "singles" but five new songs? That's crazy- that's like half a new album so this release is totally worth it. Most compilation albums never have more than one or two new songs if any.

think of it as it's own mini album. all the songs on svc2 have already been heard before. nothing new there. the new songs are on their own cd. :D

Yeah, good way to think about it! I like this view much better. :)
