I listened to the album once. Waiting for an HQ rip once the album releases.

I still listen to the album a few times a day. Trying to internalize everything, lol.

I do too, even though the quality annoys me when I am using the headphones.

Exactly, the quality is kinda bad on headphones. I can already imagine how awesome they'll sound with a high quality rip.

I wonder if the physical edition will have a new mix of Winter diary.

I don't think the song belongs on the album. It just wouldn't feel right!

I mainly wonder because the PV is on the video disc, so it would be a bit odd if it was for a song that wasn't on the release. However, my name's WOMEN's was allowed onto STEP you IIRC, so I guess anything is possible.

Yeah that scenario was what I had in mind as well.

It looks like MADE IN JAPAN is in the Hot Titles list on YesAsia.:yes
That is a pretty good sign.:thumbsup

I don't think that's a ranking, is it?

It is not an official ranking. But I am curious what algorithm they use for that list. MADE IN JAPAN is at #15 though under the bestsellers list for Japanese music.:) Not bad.

I'm more wondering if it's just gonna be what's on youtube or actually the full story and when do we get the summer diary continuation....

Summer diary's continuation is Winter diary.

Its been so long for me but do you have to be a member to get the teamayu version?

Yes, you do.

I don't think it's what's on youtube because that's not even the whole song. I think they'll show how Shu-ya died

If I remember well this used to be based on the number of orders in the past X days. However I remember NEXT LEVEL being #1 for a long time on YesAsia and at that time Oricon was even counting those orders and it didn't really do much to the over-all number, as Yes-Asia usually sells a few thousand copies.

Really cant wait for a better rip of the album. Especially FLOWER. I need it in sheer crisp quality!

I'm excited that this is the first time that I'll be buying a new ayu album while in Japan! My last two trips didn't coincide with any new releases from her. :D :D

I really want to pre-order the album via TA, but are they no pics out of the fanclub goods until now?
