I have to tell you about this - I'm actually already liking the album. In fact, this album seems promising it seems I just want to repeat the songs all over and over again! Now the next steps are to get the "Star Drop" PV out of JPopsuki as soon as it's available (but it's still not out yet at the moment), and ultimately, the album coming into my hands...
As we're about a week away from the album coming out, I have been taking a look closer and closer at the album cover art, especially with the fact that the iTunes rip gave us the highest resolution possible for the cover art, and already I have one theory that just popped up today:
This may have not been done in Sayuri Sugawara's career -
did she go bare and naked?
I mean, we've already seen naked Ayu, naked Koda...but naked Sayu? That's what I did not expect -
something that I TOTALLY DID NOT expect about - especially the fact that I ordered the album even before they even started shooting for the cover and promo pic for the album!
This is actually how I got my theory about how in the world Sayu could get naked just for the cover art shooting:
Now I had a thought about this: the picture description says about the cover shooting, but when taking a look between that picture and the cover art you can actually see her shoulders more (maybe that black clothing was taken off while the cover art shooting was in progress?).
So that is where I had a thought that she may have gone naked for the cover art...is that true? I really have to wonder how the CD will actually appear once it comes home next week...from the back of the album case to even inside the lyrics booklet!

I'm really excited for this...!
(I actually now think either she has gone naked or she's wearing clothes that either the straps are arranged in a way they're not visible or there isn't any straps at all...)
