I have no idea why people are complaining about the Japanese tittles.
There was just one (or maybe two?) complaining, but it was a strong complaint so it feels like there are many people complaining lol .
Those Japanese titles actually make the album more cohesive, and some of them excite me so much, especially 荒野の狼, 忘却, and 人生最高の日.

Concept-wise.

I feel sorry for what happened to her mother but it's just that this concept doesn't appeal to me at all.
You don't have to listen, I can understand why it's not a concept for everybody, but it's her way. Besides, it's either this or she stays retired so...

I also don't like the cover.
It looks like the photographer wasn't able to make a proper pic, so they just took a blurred one. I get the concept, but this looks unprofessional.
The promo pics are nice.

I'm just a very causal listener, so I'm interestedb how I will like the new album.

I'm wondering if the album will be more ballad driven.

tbh Sakura Nagashi and Manatsu no Tooriame are so flawless I wouldn't even be mad if it was a ballad fest. Utada's melodies are strong and her arrangers know how to tug at the heartstrings. BRING ON THE TEARS UTADA

I thought she arranged her own music?

MTE. I'm also super fond of Hanataba wo Kimi ni. I have a feeling she'll throw in an experimental track or two at least. I think the cover is perfect for a kind of haphazard contrast in genres. Anything is possible, really.

I love the cover, it seems ethereal. It would be even better without the text though

It looks like the album is going to be an SHM-CD as well.
That's interesting. I don't think I have heard an album in the format.
Now I am looking forward to this even more.
Spoiler:
SHM-CD is a digital optical disc data storage manufacturing process. It is an improved compact disc product with the greatest change being a different polycarbonate material that allows more precise physical representation of stored bits during pressing and less laser scatter during reading. -Wikipedia

Damn, I love how messy people get when they expect Utada to be some random j-idol and she is Utada instead xD

I like the cover the way it is. At least she expresses something with it.

thats a pretty rude comment tbqh The photographer has a nice range of works - all very simple but incredible stunning shots. if so, it is probably Utada who wanted it this way.

People believe only magazine shots are valid as "professional photos". There's no range.
