i finally listened to the album today, lol. i think i prefer it over "GIRL NEXT DOOR" (i frankly don't remember anything other than the singles on it). i particularly like the 2nd half over the 1st half though! especially starting at "Artemis", haha. even though it's an interlude, it's really pretty. "sa-ku-ra" is gorgeous too.
i think "NEXT FUTURE" is a good step forward for GND. i hope they continue to improve. i'm waiting for the 2nd disc to leak though~ XD
