Thanks for posting this news. I'm very happy so far and am glad I ordered it.
I love the cover and the songs sound like they might be more Pop and different from GUILTY, which is good for me. I think GUILTY is probably my least favorite album of hers, so anything different from that and I am already happy. I do hope it is more techno/electronic pop as some people are suggesting.
Ayu seemed to go too far into rock for me and it got a bit boring. I haven't genuinely liked anything since BLUE BIRD. It's not like I hate her recent stuff, but they have had to grow on me. With Sparkle, I liked it on the first listen and haven't gotten sick of it yet. I think it's better than anything on LOVEppears and I really love that album A LOT. It's one of my favs now and I can't wait to see it live. She better perform it when I go to AT09 or else I'll be one sad lil fan.
