Thank you for the links.
Okay, now I'm convinced I will not buy this album.
While MY STORY Classical offers a lot of diversity in the arrangements, I feel that I'm listening to the same grand and bland arrangement all over again with those previews. I can feel nothing at all. It's very pretty for shure but that's it. It doesn't add something interesting to the song for me. Like being orchestral for the sake of it. There is no emotion. It almost sounds like the boring orchestra versions she puts on the singles (the ayu-mi-x being better and clever).
Of course I'm judging LQ versions, but I don't feel the HQ will be any "different".

I'm disappointed. The only good thing is that I can keep my money this time. Something I should have done with the previous "minis".
