Sounds like a plan! The JP press is already cheap for a full album, so I'm sure the overseas press will be even cheaper by comparison ^^

Either way, the new songs sound reaaaally good!! I will buy it if there's an OS press in the future for sure



This is like a maxi single, but avex wants more money

I'd consider buying this, if Crystal girl was included since it was the only song I liked on Change myself. But why not release a single? Avex and their nonsense.

Disappointing to know that out of the 7 songs, 4 we've already heard. But I lol'd at Kiss & Cry. Reminds me of Utada.

What a POINTLESS/STUPID release. Why not just separate it into two single releases and then take a bit time and make a proper album... Trying a little too hard to create "unconventional" release patterns for the artists you want to make big, Avex.

At least the covers look really nice and there are 2 new PVs but srsly? Those songs literally came out a few months ago.

So let me get this straight :

If the other songs WOULDN'T have been there, you would have been happier? How does that even work?

that's not the point, the point is why did they even think on putting all these recently released songs already in a "new" album? That makes not sense to me at all

Light Ahead looks more like a mini-best of to me xD

exactly, because w/o those songs, which most of us already own, it would have been a single and much cheaper. even if they do re-record the songs, BFD. :lol

JJ (Oct. issue) previews

Um cause it's lazy and taking way beyond advantage? If they took the time to make proper releases, then I'd be happy. Iconiq is a cool chick and I want equally cool releases, not pathetic ones.

You can go buy an "album" with half of its tracks released 6 months ago all you want, but I don't get how you'd be surprised that people aren't liking this.

Of course I'm surprised. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Because it's only been 6 months since her album? Were people REALLY expecting a full album, heck, a full EP already? Another single would've made a lot more sense. And that's what this is, a new single, with a few bonus tracks for those who are interested.

I don't care what avex calls it, this is a single and we all know it. You PAY for a single. You GET a single.

Picture this : Ayu released the single MOON/blossom WITH some tracks from Rock 'n Roll Circus. Weird? Yes. Pointless? Maybe. Would that have been a problem? : /

If they put old songs on it, they can release it as an album and make the price higher....
