New set!
hehe

[Celaphorce]

^Hey love the new set, I love her songs too but I only truly love the b-sides the most, they're amazing, still haven't listened to Sifow yet, but I will.

[TommyHeavenly6]

<3 them, even though i didnt know what you were talking about till you told me n____n;;;

[Keishi]

^Lol. What do you mean by that, TommyHeavenly6?


Celaphorce Yep! I adore her B-sides so much >w<
Squair & Rainbow touched me so much....


Btw, does anyone know what Squair means? I can find that word in dictionary

[CREA.tive]

^i guess it's her own way of writing square

[Keishi]

Lol. I don't think such touching ballad will have anything to do with shapes >w<

I love your set too, I need to make a new one, that's really nice. Oh and I make weird poem titles I did frame once written as Phrame, so yeah, I don't know maybe she does have her own way of making titles for her songs.

[Calico]

In all honesty I like her title tracks a lot more than her ballads. Lol, I can't even remember what they sounds like.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

I love both her a-sides and b-sides. The ballads are really inspired and touching. And the a-sides seem to have alot of soul in them, I can see why she's rythmzone .

This website says:
"The album will come in two editions: CD+DVD or CD-only. If you want it all beware, each edition contains a different photo booklet, and the CD-only edition has a bonus track. The DVD contains a video clip and also a look behind the scenes into the making of the intriguing photo booklets."

In didn't know it was going to come with a clip of her making the photobooks, this should be fun !

Well MAISELF acutally uses her name XD! I don't know what squair means to her lol!

[Keishi]

That was really cute of naming poems. (>w<)

and Phrame is really creative way, to me.
btw, thanks Celaphorce.

xilirationisfun does that mean that there will be making off? I'm curious with this, coz the whole staff will be able to witness her nakedness O.O
Nude paintings/pictures models at my country would only want to be painted by her own painter/photographer and it will be in a special room, so no one other than the painter/photographer will be able to witness the artist's nude body.
But that's in my country >.< I don't know if it's different in Japan.

Btw, anyone hasn't seen MAI's videos of Reborn? I have some caps from the video...thanks to Yunalesca for the PV. >w<













She was damn beautiful...I like the song more after watching the PV. I used to despise the song >.<

[CREA.tive]

Thanks for the caps

[everlastingRAINBOW]

Reborn and Eyes are both on youtube, she looks gorgeous in both vids!

Chriskay, I think since she seems pretty open with her nudeness, and since you have to have more than one person in the room shooting the PV, I think many people will see her naked in the making of, lol. She should be wearing a robe alot though XD! Also, is it ok if I borrow those screen shots (because you have the PV on your comp and I don't) and make a set with them when you change yours?

[Keishi]

Hmm, I'm quite agree on that. Eventhough sometimes, nude body shooting could be really taken seriously by women. I'm glad that Mai has the courage and is open-minded enough to pose nude. If she wasn't maybe my love wasn't the same for her. I like her because of originality.

Btw, has she ever performed live?


and about the caps, Sure. Go ahead.

[Calico]

I wouldn't be surprised if she wore things like a tiny thong and pasties for most of the shooting (when those things are generally covered by the blanket/her hair) they could even be digitally removed to look like her body. But either way, Mai would have to be very self-confident about her image to do that. You go, girl!

I keep meaning to go watch those PVs, but I keep forgetting. That and I get impatient for things to load. =P

[Keishi]

At this moment, I'm thinking if her PV-staffs, camera director, & photographer are women/girls. So being nude wouldn't be too hard to be done eh? This is just a prediction anyway.

I doubt ALL her staff are women. It seems like a man would direct her PVs and be her producer. I guess we'll have to wait for the credits in the album booklet.

[Calico]

Either way, it probably doesn't really matter to her. I'm female, but wouldn't mind a bit doing an artistic PV like that in the buff, even with a male staff. But then again, I'm open like that, LOL. I'm sure Mai is too...which is pretty rare in Japanese women her age. (All the ones I personally know are like "EW I'M SO FAT AND UGLY!")

C'mon album, come out so I can buy you!
