Btw, MIRRORCLE WORLD IS ON THE ALBUM.

Noooooooo. >_<

from the looks of it the memory stick with limited edition cd is 6800. the 2cd/dvd is the normal 4800

wow, so it's true. that's good then, lol. i just hope it's a good tracklist with good songs, and also much better covers than GUILTY march 25th isn't too far from now, either.

i wonder how this will affect rule/sparkle's sales...

[ayumisrael]

avex got crazy, period XD.
I love the title. It sounds like ayu wants to get into a new era (and add herself a new style?).
I'm glad there won't be 2 different +DVD versions (I mean with difference in the DVDs).
If Mirrorcle World will be there it will be great (since I want the PV and I'm not a singles buyer) and it will add to the album.
The 2nd CD has a lot of the best songs from the PCDL and that's the version I will buy (2CD+DVD).
It seems avex want it to sell well making the new USB method and limited. It looks great but too expensive.
Btw if the total is 13 there will be just 1 (or 2 tops) interludes obviously.
Duty was 12 tracks and just the first was an interlude.
It might end up and having more full songs than the amout of full songs GUILTY and Secret had.

I'm curious to know if the Live CD is with the songs only or with the full video performance... it's confusing since they say it's a CD.

Most likely just MP3, like a live album.
Nice idea since ayu never had such a thing.

[daniel9]

i just bet the first pressing of the usb version will get ppl to buy it. or just so someone can say they have this "new" thing lol

hm i cant put a usb into my dvd player or into the car's cd player or into aportable cd player.

only 13 songs... blah

Hey, it could be possible.

I think for sure, that they'll leave out MW at least. If you look at past album patterns, all of them included exactly 3 new PV's on the album's DVD [besides (m)u but that album already had a bunch of PV's from the singles]. This album is going to have 6 music videos, so that leaves Days/GREEN/Rule/Sparkle(most likely)/[new song]/[new song]. Hopefully she'll continue that pattern.

Life, I think has a 50/50 shot of being put on the album. One reason I think she won't include it is because it might not fit the album's theme very well.

As for the possibility of only one interlude... Duty, her shortest album had exactly one interlude, but NEXT LEVEL has one more track than Duty so I'm thinking she might include at least two.

But if there's more than two interludes and the album includes MW and Life... WHACK.

[Ayumiko]

I'm looking forward to ayu's first live cd. I love all the songs on it. I hope they keep the intros and outros.

I hope the new songs won't disappoint.

Yeah I thought so too. I guess it is a nice idea. Adding these extra goodies is a nice touch and will cater for the crazy fans who will buy everything and the picky fans who like to choose. I always felt that her releases before were too bland (In the sense of no special extras).

[Kazeyomi]

NEXT LEVEL is a nice title
and the usb thing seems A W E S O M E!
And finally there are more extras!

I can't wait *_* That release excite me! lol

Too bland? I don't really see how. You're probably just "spoiled" by Koda Kumi releasing so much in all her CDs.

[RikkuChii]

That USB is cute.

Actually I didn't think much of Kumi's latest album. Ayu is the only artist I listen to on a constant basis. I just thought that avex could do so much more to Ayu since she's so big and I'm happy that in 2008 they did. Before 2008, it was rare to have a single with a firstpress while they loaded Ai's and Kumi's with goodies. Or they would just give out a poster as an extra. The only specials we got were the photobooks which admittedly were really really nice I thought that was not cool that they didn't include extras for Ayu too. So I'm glad now that they are now.

[BluishDays]

OMG this is real??? Next Level!!!???

The Memory Stick is cute but does that mean everything CD & DVD is all on the USB? and am I seeing 2 Cd' Version?? From that pic. My eyes are really bad ; ;

[KarenPang]

so looking forward to the release of NEXT LEVEL now

[asmAyumi1992]

Oh my!! Can't wait for the new album. Got to spend my money on this!

[kendelle]

So the USB version has the CD, the DVD as well as the USB? I sure do want this version, I'll wait til next payday and if it's still there I'll preorder with the DejiDeji diary
