compensate the NEXT FUTURE @ ~GIRL NEXT DOOR~'s 4th thread!

[KarenPang]

so far , the ones that stood out for me are 恋の魔法 & Winter Crystal (the opening sounded oddly like ESCAPE to me o_o)

the rest are a grower or 2

Since there isn't a lot of stuff in English about GND I translated an interview with Chisa. You can find it at Channel-Ai. It's quite fun...she talks about stuff she likes and about a-nation'08 I hope we'll get some interviews for NEXT FUTURE since I'm curious to know the creative process of this album.

[Moriko]

for me, TriAngle is the Song that stands out the most, the Arrangement is quite different from their usual stuff.
The other new Songs are ok but not that good.
The strongest Songs are still the Singles and Jump!

It's a bit sad but I don't see any improvement from thei first Album at all!

[KarenPang]

that's true

it's hard to have any music growth basically with the type of music that they're doing

as such it's quite stagnent to a certain extent

[Beauty4123]

looks like chisa is modelling...

Spoiler:

[KarenPang]

oh wow

where are these pics from ? I have a feeling these are taken from the special collaboration booklet (4 pages x 3 copies) with "Numero," "NYLON," and "ELLE girl" which's made available in the 1st press edition of CD + DVD for NEXT FUTURE

[Beauty4123]

i guess that's where it comes from? i don't know myself, lol. i just saw them posted at JPM but chisa looks stunning, dosen't she?

[Raleigh]

Yes they are from the collab first press thingie... I must say Chisa is really cut out to modeling. It's a shame we rarely see magazine scans of hers. I'm sure she looks stunning

[adantatu2]

Thanks Chisa is sexy

01. Jump sounds like an average song they would make. Very boring opening, I must say.
02. Infinity managed to grow on me even though I didn't like it when it first time came out as single. It's ok now.
03. Winter Crystal is boring.
04. 空へ is boring.
05. Tri△ngle is boring.
06. Seeds of dream finally seems ok, just like Infinity. I didn't like it before, but it seems that is good cause the album sucks.
07. Artemis (INST) WTH they have to put such a long instrumental?-.-
08. Orion is okay.
09. 無防備な純愛 is kinda okay.
10. 涼風薫花 (INST) ...
11. sa・ku・ra ...
12. Be your wings is good.
13. 恋の魔法 ...
14. FRIENDSHIP ...

I wasn't expecting anything big, simply because I didn't like the latest singles. But it seems that singles are the only good songs that can be found on this album IMO. Their debut album seems to be stronger in every possible way, even though it isn't perfect and they haven't changed since then. You will all probably think "You're crazy, you don't like even one new song!!!" but that's true, I'd buy this album to someone who I really want to die of boredom o__o

- The same instruments and melodies, the album isn't fresh at all;
- It seems that they haven't evoluted even a bit, they're using the same old thempo and style;
- The boring singles I didn't like at the beginning seems to be okay now, because NEXT FUTURE is full of fillers~

[KarenPang]

with the type of music that the trio's doing , it's not easy to break out / experiment & even improve

you know I will be shocked if their next release will be totally something different that they're doing but hey I want that to happen though

& surprised that NEXT FUTURE is leaked out so fast

[x-megumi-x]

My thoughts on NEXT FUTURE are like the total opposite of Maemi's
NEXT FUTURE is way better than GIRL NEXT DOOR imo

Actually the only song I don't like is sa.ku.ra. The instrumental is pretty but the song is way too long and boring.
My favorite new tracks are Koi no Mahou and Mu Boubi na Junai <3

[KarenPang]

Taiwan press / CD + DVD for NEXT FUTURE will be out next Fri <3

http://www.avex.com.tw/4th/artist/ar...72776&cateid=2

some of the album tracks on NEXT FUTURE are more edgier/angsty driven which I like

anyway Mylene ripped some of the album tracks a while back ago on a promo disc that she has & I also like Mu Boubi na Junai too

[Utena]

i was about to ask you about that ahah
hope yesasia will have it in stock.. I'll be getting the OS version of this, I'm not a huge fan but definitly worth to have it at home haha

I quite like this album better than GIRL NEXT DOOR debut album, hope the booklet will be awesome too <3

[KarenPang]

xD

it will take a while for YesAsia & HMV HK to list the Taiwan press of NEXT FUTURE on their sites since it takes time for stock in Taiwan to be shipped over to Hong Kong to be sold

I'm getting it though Cliff so I'm not going to worry about that

anyway on avex taiwan's website , seems that just like their self titled debut album , the NEXT FUTURE copy that they're making of will be 1st press too

[Utena]

well maybe I'll ask Cliff to get it for me at the same time as Alan's album lol that would save some shipping fees I guess, if he doesn't mind do it for me of course ahah

Do you know the price in USD$ for GND's NEXT FUTURE ?

I should warn you Mylene that for alan's my life album , avex Taiwan only made the CD + DVD of it & not the CD only

I don't know how much NEXT FUTURE will cost but if you get it though Cliff it's definitely much cheaper/faster than getting though YesAsia

[Utena]

I was tired xD I said alan instead of Kana nishino lol

[KarenPang]

OH ok xD

it's funny that in NEXT FUTURE , there're 2 instrumentals but they're both at extreme ends

like Artemis is so long while Suzukaze Kaoru Hana is so short LOL
