That's an epic show!dream :O
I was thinking that a cover/studio album hybrid would be interesting as a future project of hers. I like the idea of her continuing cover albums because I simply can't get enough of them. She brings some classic songs to my attention and modifies them to be entirely hers, which is what MAKES a good cover, IMO. I've been jamming out to her Eternity ~Love & Songs~ album and DVD audio rip for a while now
simply can't get enough of it.
I can't see us getting a studio album for a while yet, however she did surprise the hell out of me during 2010, what with UNIVERSE, her third best album, Driving Hits 2, AND Eternity... Granted Eternity came out six months after the rest of that, but still! That's tons of stuff for one year.
ETA: omg you dreamt she covered Ii hi tabidachi. LOL DIDN'T ALAN COVER THAT SONG TOO? SEE, I AM PSYCHIC /old thread reference
