At first I wasn't excited because Step by step is awful, but Sayonara has me HYPED! And the CD only costs like, 14 bucks so I'ma 'bout to be all up on that.

This will be another best...

Sky high title intrigues me. Sounds sth like ever free... I hope it will be refreshing, not just another filler track ala MY ALL... cause Shape of love sounds like an another ballad.

Sorrows sounds like an interesting name. hope it's a dark ballad

Lyrically the songs so far seem to be going like...

Step by step - "I can do what I want if I set my mind to it."
Summer diary - "I fell in love this summer!"
Sayonara - "I thought we had something, but I was an idiot. Whatever."
Sorrows - "I've made mistakes. Can you forgive me?"
Shape of Love - "I love you is such a powerful phrase. It can do anything."
Sky high - ???? Some sort of uplifting MY ALL or Born To Be... type track maybe? I hope we get a preview of the lyrics on Twitter soon.

Lmao I created a fake tracklist with the title "High sky" before :P

And I think the title "Sky high" sounds interesting. Can't wait for the previews! ;) She's on track now.

I wonder who's her competitor on 8/5?

Here is what I think :
Shape of Love - jpop
Sorrows - trance
Sky high - acoustic, ambiental, trance or basic jpop

Wait, wtf a headphone? Wow Avex really push their budget for this release.

Chances of sorrows being trance are really slim...

Well, I do wonder how many tracks are leftover from the original "all upbeat" concept. If Sorrows is upbeat, that would be an interesting twist given that the lyrics sound like anything but.

It was very limited (300 I think?) and sold out immediately

Really glad to see the full track list today! So happy that there is a sixth track and its name also begins with 'S'!

And I finally relented and saw the clips of Summer diary and Sayonara. I like both songs, with a potential to really like them. Still despise Step by step, but the video clip makes it tolerable. As for the PVs, Sayonara looks interesting with many cool shots (hope to see more as the full version unfolds), while Summer diary... well, the song is lovely, but I've had enough of melodrama PVs.

I hope Sorrows, Shape of Love, and Sky high are at least decent.

I love sky high as a title. It's very refreshing!

I would say no one http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/products?ra...dnomaxi&page=1

Comimg for that top 10 debut!

I'll cry if this becomes a No.1 after quite some time!!

Plot twist: Utada drops a new album on 8/5 out of blue haha

hahaah made my day:D

OMG :roflmao

Also I'd say the 23472974983th love life movie soundtrack thing (how much freaking soundtrack does this shit have?) is a possible competitor for #1
