That's great, but more people think otherwise.

[vampireknightzero]

Anyway I'm really anxious about her new songs!! Hope to hear them real soon!

[waterballoon]

Thank god it won't be on the main tracklist. I can't wait for the new album to arrive. So far, imo, it's sounding like her best work in some time

Likewise, I could say that members' opinions have nothing to do with the quality of the album. Members probably tend to like (m)u more because it's newer and more "poppy" than Duty. I'd say Japanese fans' opinions are more important than ours anyways, since... they're the ones who buy 20345902349052 of her albums depending on if they're good or not.

i agree. a lot of opinions do not make it a fact.

anyway, recent albums or songs always do better in polls because they are fresh in the minds of voters. it's called recency effect.

And i also can say that stating (M)U is more poppy than Duty is just your opinion as well. If you wanna believe their opinion is more important than ours, fine. But i won't accept such statement for myself. I also have spent a lot of money on original merchandise and what i think (just like everyone else here in the forum) is just as important as the opinion of japanese fans.

[futureLOVE]

I imagine we'll get the tracklist in a week or two probably followed by the covers if not both at the same time...which is somewhat Kumi-esque (love kumi though )

[Keiichi_JPU]

EDIT: I just typed a huge story here about how polls aren't very reliable but I don't even wanna continue the pointless discussion xD everyone has a different opinion and I'm sure there are a lot of people who think Duty is a great album, same for (m)u, so they're both awesome albums



on-topic: I'm VERY EXCITED for NEXT LEVEL! OMG ) especially now I've heard Mirrorcle World probably isn't included
I'm probably gonna buy the MW single now since I still want the PV on DVD :p

Amen to that! Our opinions are just as valuable. Japanese people may put sales on Oricon, but we're putting money into what we feel is a good product as well, so...

[dreamland2.0]

ooo 3 new PVs awesome!! I like new stuff but I wouldn't mind Mirrorcle World as a bonus track as a remix maybe or AOV (that'd be sweet!)
I'm so excited to see the tracklist and covers!! yaya less then a month!!

[waterballoon]

It's going to be like 25/26 days to the release of NEXT LEVEL! Omg hopefully, in the next couple of weeks or so, we'll get covers, track list or something like that!

March is going to be such an AWESOME month!

Cheers to that hon! I'm glad I filed my taxes early so I'll have the money to spend on only Ayu I mean... Jpop

[rakeru]

less than a month to go!

while she's adding more material, how about some more songs? 0_0 avex and the manufacturers are going to be so rushed when she finally finishes.

[waterballoon]

Hahaha you girls will spend your money on Johnny's... while I'm spending mine on birthday cakes and hotels... oh the economy will be REVIVED come March!

[asmAyumi1992]

The USB is really cute! I want that!!!!
But, it's too expensive. I can't afford it.
Uhh~

[freedreamer]

i'd say we have 3 more weeks...since NEXT LEVEL (being an Ayu release) will bound to leak about 2-3 days before the release

I really wanna see the tracklist by next week. AND being only 3 weeks+ left to the official release....SHOULDN'T WE BE SEEING A NEW MV SOON!? I'd say 9th feb hahha.
I want the tracklist next week too!

[Maemi]

I hope NEXT LEVEL won't have any preludes/interludes I'm so sick of them since Guilty But I agree that MW can appear on album ONLY as bonus track ^^
