Depriving myself in the name of a surprise
About a month ago, I was chatting with a few other AHSers about the possibility of holding out on further previews, PVs, etc., until Love songs came out, so that we could be surprised and have as much of the album as possible be new to us. So far, I've listened to the first three singles (crossroad, L, and MOON/blossom of course), I've seen the covers and tracklist, but that's about it.
Everyone's been saying how amazing Love song is, and now that the CM popped up in my subscription box and everyone is tweeting her about how awesome it was, the temptation is nearly killing me. Once the rest of the previews come around, it'll be unbearable... But I'm determined! Only a little while longer and it'll be worth it. :yes Is anyone else doing this sort of thing in order to keep the album a secret from themselves? |
as far as myself's concerned , I wouldn't listen to the previews of the new tracks found in Love songs even though they're more or less are all out because previews doesn't do justice to the full song at the end of the day
but other than that , eh I already heard Love song & it's great & I also saw the 30 secs CM for the album just now too |
I'm the same as you, I'm waiting patiently for Love songs to arrive :)
|
I am. I've listened to the single tracks, and I've seen the covers, but that's it. Next year I'm considering not listening to the single tracks. It's going to kill me! But it'll be worth it :laugh So much more worth waiting for. I don't really like the japanese/asian way of releasing singles before full albums.

Not me, can't do it!
Won't listen to chaku-utas though, so I'm glad we got those HQ previews. |
I do kind of wish though that I hadn't seen what the interior or contents of the limited edition version looked like. When they first announced it, I wanted to save that for when I first opened it as a surprise too. But in the end, that's okay because what they contain is the most important of all - the music and the PVs (which I won't be listening to or seeing until I use them)!

I'm always doing this! :yes With every album/single/DVD...and believe me, it's totally worth it! Even when it's getting harder each time, I'm always determined to go through with it!

I have, and I'm actually doing it second time already, first one was RNC. When RNC was released, I've only heard Sunrise/Sunset.
I've only listened to Crossroad and Blossom. However, these two were the remixes, so I haven't heard the original versions at all. Only "original mix" I have heard is SEVEN DAYS WAR. I haven't seen any of the PV's, at least not fully [I have watched a bit of Sweet Seasons' but that's it.] I have seen the covers and CM for the album [luckily for me, there wasn't almost any music in it] And I know the tracklist. And that's all :3 I'm really excited about Love Songs! It feels so amazing when the album is full of surprises~ |
I would like to do oit...but just impossible
I have listened to the previews once, but i don't even remember anyone, so the album is still a surprise. Since Love Song is in good quality i have listened |
I did this with Secret, GUILTY, NEXT LEVEL, RnRC, and now Love songs :yes It's the best way to appreciate an album imo, and there's definitely something special about listening to new songs for the first time on legitimate, physical CDs.

I've held out on the previews but since the CM didn't have any music I checked it out! Now I'm even more excited for the album...
|
I made a thread a while ago:
Holding out for Love Songs! http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105357 Haven't viewed the covers, listened to any previews/clips. Didn't look at the tracklist but I pretty much know most of the titles due to people discussing them. |
no way! you have fun with that, because i could/would never!
|
I won't get the album until after New Years this time so I'm going to spoil myself.
Usually I hold out though! It's more fun that way!!! |
LOL so many threads on this I don't know where to post.
i saw the CM and that's it. Will impatiently wait for it from next week on :) |
It's so hard! I'm soooo excited for this album because I feel like AHS was such a big part of it, what with all the fans meeting with ayu in LA and tweeting her and everything. I wish the album would be released tomorrow so I didn't have to wait so loooong...
|
that takes serious willpower! good luck~
|
I'm waiting for my copy too :yes.
Although: - I listened to single tracks, Love song's rip, Thank U, insomnia and sending mail chaku-uta. - I saw covers and limited edition inside pics. Lol it's the best I can do unfortunately :laugh I'm too weak! I know ;_;. But I leave the rest of the album, for the day I'll recieve my Love songs copy. I didn't listened to the album previews neither. And argh that's pretty hard. I cannot imagine how hard it is don't see and listen to anything as others do. Respect guys :thud you're really stronger. |
I'm waiting too; the few things I spoiled for myself was seeing the covers, tracklist and the cm.
