The tracklist sure has some silly sounding titles. She's been going down this road for like 2-3 years now with cheesy titles, sheesh.

I think the music will have lots of dance/techno/poprock sounds, which is a good thing. I can't wait to hear the music. I hope the lyrics will be good. As long as it's not nasty like Kumi's lyrics or as cheesy as Real Me lyrics (and full of Engrish) then I'll be good. Sparkle's lyrics didn't bother me at all.

In the end, I pray the music will be good. Because honestly, for me, she has take it DOWN the NEXT LEVEL instead of UP. =/ The cover and song titles scream "sellout" to me, but I hope that the lyrics and music don't.

And yeah, if people want to express negative opinions, they have every right to. Who cares if it's the "same old people"? There are the "same old people" who praise every little thing Ayu does and act like it's work of a goddess.

Well, let's look at it this way...GUILTY didn't sound like Secret....LOVEppears didn't sound like A Song For XX so it's a good thing! IF she did the same thing over and over again we'd get bored...I know not EVERYONE is going to like EVERYTHING she does, but that's why she's been around so long. Previous fans will stick with her even if you don't LOVE every song, because you know what she's capable of, and new fans will be born, with the onslaught of new styles. Me, personally, I'm really looking forward to this.

And yes, you're absolutely right. You have a total right to your opinion. I have to agree with a lot of people when one says, "Just because I don't like a certain song, or album, doesn't make me any less of a fan." It really doesn't. For example, I absolutely HATED everywhere nowhere but apparently lots of people loved it, so hey, who am I to judge?
