From your reactions and how sunshine described the Japanese reactions... if the lyrical content is sorta an indicator of what NEXT LEVEL will sound like, I can kinda imagine that there will be another (m)u incident again.. Last time ayu tried something very new (B&D, etc.), and the result was the decrease in cd sales (the starting point where her albums can't hit million copies anymore). If the Japanese thinks Sparkle is a weird thing like B&D, I can't imagine how bad NEXT LEVEL's sales will be...

But Sparkle's musical style is something that is present in some other J-pop singers, like Kuu and Namie Amuro. The really dance music that gets people groovy.
@ maikaru: Okay, I understand what you mean.
The song is really enjoyable and the lyrics are confident at least.
@ sunshineslayer: Is it all right if your boyfriend could "identify" which "dialect" she's using to write this song? Because if I'm not wrong, Japan has several dialects, in which the speaking differs with each dialect. Perhaps she has chosen to write Sparkle in the slightly more "straightforward/rude" dialect?
