Love the photo but i'm just wondering who will buy it? Many people got it for free during Showcase, song itself is not great...(in my opinion) and it's a recut single of an album that didn't sell well...

The album probably sold well enough for avex, if they agree to release Terminal as a re-cut single it's probably because they think they can gain some profit or an opportunity for something profitable.

I'm used to her having pretty covers for unrelated songs at this point

But ugh, kinda wish she had some side boob

This release feels like it's just testing out the Plug Air thing

No pv? Lame.

IMO, This should be a digital release if that's all they're putting into this.

Cover is pretty though.

I was really hoping for at least an instrumental but nooo...
And releasing XOXO, its PV and making of again is just pointless
Well, I'll just wait for HQ version of the cover...

the cover is alright i guess. She looks nice, even though it's totally just that. However I certainly don't quite see a point in this release *shrug*

OMG this cover <3333
I'm a little disappointed in the lack of a PV, but hey, this cover is so great I can't complain.

It does look kind of like a prom invitation, but at least they didn't put some tacky blue glow behind it like they've ruined so many covers with before. (Ugh, MOON/blossom...) It's nice and clean and sophisticated. It matches the photo.

The tracklist is disappointing, especially since there's no PV. Two remixes? Is a dub mix even that different from the original version? (I'm not a remix expert, lol.) The other remix is from a virtual unknown, right?

It's better than nothing, but that doesn't say much. I wish they'd have gone all the way if they really wanted to release a recut single. More remixes, otherwise what's the point really?

XOXO on the other hand is ridiculous. $25 for an already released song, a PV that looks like it was shot on a $5 budget, and one new remix? w o w

I get that it's because of the new media format or whatever, but it's a novelty and just stupid really. Even putting aside the fact that the plug-in cube is so huge and no one would carry enough of those around to warrant not just putting the songs and video files on the phone itself. Doesn't it plug into the audio jack, too? So basically you can't even listen to it with headphones, i.e. while you're in public. That defeats the purpose of having it mobile in the first place.
Dub is basically the instrumental. It may have slight variations as far as flow goes, so the length may differ by a few seconds. But, generally it is the original mix minus the vocals.

And yeah this release is seriously one big question mark. What's the point? Photo is ok, but seriously NOT reflective of the feeling and aura behind Terminal. Does anyone over at avex know how to create a fucking CONCEPT? Ugh. Creating concepts and expanding upon them is what excites me, so when I see potential and neglect, it pisses me off.

guys, if you keep in mind how the western artists do this stuff, they don't have the DVD versions either. But MVs are usually still made to promote the single, so. MAYBE.....

As much as I want a video, at least I won't be pissed that it was never released at all LOL.

This whole "Terminal" thing is simply a big YES! We believed in it and now, at long last, we get what we were longing for

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. So it's basically just the original mix, a glorified instrumental, and a remix by some unknown for $10. What a steal, lol.

I think it's safe to say avex will profit from this single at least.

I'm happy that the single YES is real! But, what's the problem if I and other people doesn't have hopes for it when the information doesn't come from OFFICIAL source in the first moment? I am not a pesimist and I am not a Bitch. Maybe the Bitches are people who doesn't respect people.
