i just affiliate the new songs on the album as "debut period songs" since they're not old tunes like GOLD or WILDS OF MY HEART. they were made for their much-anticipated debut. i think the release of a single, album, & DVD were just JE's way of making up for their 5 years as a Johnny's Juniors unit and making NEWS & K8 debut before them. i mean, their debut was HUGE.
though, they do have a lot of unreleased material that could've gone on the album instead of the new songs. i mean, Seiten no Hekireki? Le ciel ~Kimi no Shiawase Inoru Kotoba~ (Original Mix)? etc. though, most of my other favorite songs from their Junior period are on the 2nd disc of cartoon KAT-TUN II You. i love FIGHT ALL NIGHT, LOVE or LIKE, & HEARTBREAK CLUB.
& LOL, since when was a princess above an empress?
