So I'm sure after GUILTY's #2, she's able to express what she wants a lot more freely

Yea, that's true. ^^ Do you think that her losing her #1 streak is the reason for that though? Because it's definitely different, but other than Sparkle it's not TOO experimental. And she still needs to keep her single streak alive, so she might have more experimental tracks on the album instead of the singles. ^^

If they do... then I might buy with my kino vouchers

[waterballoon]

I really hope there'll be some OS version of the USB, I really want it, but I have no credit card...

[LacusClyne]

^someone from ayuchina had enquiry to avex taiwan, but they state that they won't be able to produce it, some copy rights problems or sort, it's like exclusive to japan

I do think so, among other things. Ayu said she didn't have the inspiration to write GUILTY (I believe...?), which understandable because it was such a depressing time for her, but now that she's back in the swing of things she probably got some of her creative flow back, thus NEXT LEVEL. And I sure hope the album tracks are much more experimental!!! Her singles at the very least are really good, her album tracks are sure to be as well.

They should be. They always have every new Ayu item that comes out. The Kinokuniya in San Jose that is.

[RikkuChii]

^ I hope the one in San Francisco sells the USB too..

I want it just to put as a key chain!!!! It's so pretty!

The one in SF always carries their Ayu stuff front and center when the item is new, so you wont miss it if they have it.

[RikkuChii]

^ Oh really? That's good..too bad I have a feeling that if Kinokuniya does sell the USB, it's gonna be somewhere around $90-$100... =/

Yes, that store is a pain when it comes to their prices. I expect it to be around $70-$80.

i'd really like for there to be a hidden track, so that we at least have some more material to go on.

[jbrat2219]

^ I thought that was strictly a rumor? Due to "Rule's" misspelling....

[haraiso]

Yeah...

Plus it's even telling us which songs are interludes.
And hidden tracks are supposed to be....hidden. lol

[Tony G]

Plus no Mirrorcle World, unlikely she's going to leave that out of a major studio album.
