Agreed

Kind of wondering why that hairstyle is fitting her face structure...

New page, so here's the picture again:

[Utena]

well, she has kind of a round type of face, the way her bangs were was not really the best, but with her bangs now on the side, it opens up her face ♥ I think the color is a bit lighter too?

TRACKLIST IS OUT!!!

1, Star Drop
2, ただ (Tada)
3, いつの日も　※フジテレビ系金曜プレステージ エンディングテーマ (Itsunohimo - Fuji TV "Kingyo (Friday) Prestige" ending theme back sometime in June (?); "Kingyo Prestige" was some kind of news/talk show (?))
4, はばたくキミへ (Habataku Kimi e - released as a single back in late March)
5, ROCKSTAR (from "Asu ni Naru Mae ni" (明日になる前に) single (December 2011); "Asu ni Naru Mae ni" is NOT in)
6, Beyond The Sky
7, LETTER
8, 恋の魔法　※映画「ビンゴ」主題歌 (Koi no Mahou - "Bingo" film theme song)
9, Love Again
10, Forever... (was first released back in 2011 in a mini-album of the same title)
11, 奏(かなで) (Kanade - Sukima Switch cover)
12, バスケットコート (Basket Court - also "Asu ni Naru Mae ni" single)
13, SONOMAMA
＜BONUS TRACK＞
14, 素直になれなくて (Piano Ver.) (Sunao ni Narenakute - original was from 2010)

Red indicates NEW song, including those that were released earlier but not in a physical release (9)
Blue indicates existing song (4)
Green indicates existing song in different form (1)

But what I'm NOT happy about: Basket Court and ROCKSTAR is in, and what's NOT: Sunya collab (Zutto Zutto Futari de...), and not even Kimi ni Okuru Uta acoustic! (Maybe the previous songs that I mentioned in the previous page was a rumor...)

You know, I wanted the Kimi ni Okuru Uta acoustic version so badly!!! Lesson learned - don't rely on "predicted"/"rumored" tracklist - it's NOT accurate at most...

[Utena]

I'm pretty sure they said on shops & stuff that it would include an acoustic version of KNOU, but in the end I guess they decided otherwise?!

Really liking that tracklist, lots of new songs! Really can't wait ♥

[Bigtop]

cover is out


Wait a minute - is it just me, or is it too similar to this...?

[Utena]

I hate green, but I adore the picture iteself! and you're right it's a bit looking like ayu's LOVE
Thanks!

How lucky she is... This is really quite something big - and it's going to happen this December...

Well, Sayu and her staff confirms that:

(By the way, it's already four weeks remaining until the album comes out...and when my copy of this album (plus my copy of Yanawaraba's Yui ~Best & Collaboration~ (10th anniversary) album) comes to my doorstep!)

[Bigtop]

Slightly better quality (source: CDJapan)

[Utena]

can't wait for the album. A few more weeks to wait.

[Bigtop]

Updating cover talk again, and a higher quality promo picture:

[Bigtop]

I heard one of the songs are going to have a MV (PV; Sayu's calling the getting-more-used-to-now-in-Japan "music video" term)...

MV撮影終了しました！今回かなり素敵なMVになりそう！やばいぞー！(OvO)

https://twitter.com/SAYURISUGAWARA/s...88193817714689

UPDATE: "Star Drop" is the song that will get the new MV. Here's a preview:

http://ameblo.jp/sayurisugawara/entry-11388689892.html


(Waiting for JPopsuki that someone uploads the MV when it comes out on SSTV or M-ON!...remember the album has no other version (most notably one with DVD) than CD-only)

[Utena]

nice there'll be a MV this time, too bad there's no DVD this time tho'..

[Bigtop]

"Star Drop" PV Trailer


(As I said earlier, it's NOT on DVD...be on the lookout on SSTV or M-ON!...and for us, be on the lookout on JPopsuki...I'm sure someone WILL upload the PV at JPS as soon as it comes!)

(Even despite those recent trends online I still see on JPS people uploading PVs, both well-known and not, and in between, like Sayuri Sugawara...)

[Utena]

Star Drop seems nice so far, so does the PV
Can't wait for the album!

[AyuGAME]

like the song!

[Bigtop]

Very promising. In fact, on last night's "Nico Chao!" (http://ch.nicovideo.jp/channel/ch2525145) we even heard a preview of the first two songs of the album, "Star Drop" and "Tada".

Afterwards, Sayu tweeted (as typical), and I did reply saying some thanks for watching as well as the previews a bit (I even can't wait for two weeks!!!), and Sayu did actually reply to me yesterday:

@Ayaka_441 ありがとう。私もわくわくしてます^^
https://twitter.com/SAYURISUGAWARA/s...38339703353345

And still I can't even wait for "Itsu no Hi mo", "Koi no Mahou" and the "Sunao ni Narenakute" piano version...it's going to be quite interesting!

[Bigtop]

Anyways, this is how the "Open The Gate" album is going to be packaged:

http://ameblo.jp/sayurisugawara/entry-11397033899.html

[Bigtop]

Apparently I found an AAC (iTunes) copy of "Open The Gate" album, and I decided to download it from a site (the site also distributed Yanawaraba's "Yui ~Best & Collaboration~" in 320kbps) and then upload it to JPopsuki. If you have access, you can actually download it now. "Open The Gate" was released (and then I eventually "leaked" it) on iTunes and Recochoku/Chaku-Uta 11/7 (today), a week ahead of its physical release.

Actual iTunes Japan link to "Open The Gate"
https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/op...te/id572833044

With that AAC, this is *ultimately* the HIGHEST QUALITY cover I can ever find:
