But no leak yet D: That's when you know this girl is protected well xD

I think the people who let out leaks only care about the big artists XD
RURUTIA is kinda unknown... so if the leak comes out on the release day I'll be happy XD hopefully it won't be one of those releases that take FOREVER to reach the internet >___<
Though I think people quite like her outside Japan, so I guess it wouldn't take that long?
I didn't follow new releases when I started to listen to RURUTIA, so I don't know how long it takes for her stuff to leak~

I love hyousa and the tone of muyuuka!

Beautiful cover. It's been quite a while since I last listened to her, maybe I'll give this one a try.

Wawawa it leaked! My opinion on the album:

Hyousa: REALLY good. The best song on the mini-album... but that's expected haha XD I think I like Opus better though. I thought this track would be a bit more "epic" than it turned out to be. Opus itself to a while to grow on me though... at first I hardly paid attention when listening to it, and liked Ryuukou better~ but now I love it so much it's one of my favorite RURUTIA tracks, and I like a LOT better than Ryuukou. So maybe Hyousa will grow a bit more on me too. It is a really good song though~
Muyuuka: It's pretty, but all RURUTIA songs are pretty... out of the 2 new tracks, it's the most forgettable... Ryuukou and Hoshi to Hane were better IMO~
The Ballad Versions: I think they started sounding a bit less quiet&simple than the ballad ver. songs from the last mini-album~ They're really pretty. Actually I think the Gin no Honoo Ballad Ver. is better than the original (like Mizugeshiki Hoshi Moyou ballad ver. on Opus). Reirei Tenohira is such an awesome song, and the ballad ver. is also hauntingly beautiful.
MusicBox Songs: I love love love the MusicBox Ver. of RURUTIA's songs - they always have something special... Opus ballad ver. had what sounded like water drops echoing in the background, while Ryuukou ballad ver. had a rain noise. The new ones are like that also, Hyousa has the sound of wind behind the song, which is REALLY pretty, and Myuuka has what sounds like running water. I love these tracks.

I think the new tracks aren't as strong as I expected, but overall the mini-album flows well and works as a whole ^^ RURUTIA rarely disppoints, eh?

So, what are your opinions on the album?

It's not a bad album at all but it could have been better Well looks like we have to wait yet another year, I guess I kinda am dissapointed. It must be pretty hard for her or something or maybe she's being slack xD The effects of changing record companies eh?

Yeah, maybe... I think her other releases on the new label were great though... I mean, Chorion is definately better than Meme, IMO. And I loved Opus. I guess no one can be awesome all the time XD So maybe things will be clearer with her next release~ if it's as good as Opus I'll be happy~!
