Same for me. Plus I don't have AWA or Apple Music subscriptions anyway

[Surreal17]

Yes!!! Can't wait to listen to the full thing.

[attractive nausea]

The way they phrased it : ...such as Awa and Apple Music», does it mean it can also be available on Spotify and they were just too lazy to name it? lol I’m paying for Spotify and I would be sad if it wasnt available there! Considering the fact that they upload the mysterious demos there that would be surprising.

I hope so too but Spotify will get a delayed release

Spotify isn't that popular in Japan, they are more into Apple services (and AWA is the avex flagship, so...). But I guess it will be available there too, as all demos were released in Spotify.

I hope they do it right and PROMOTE it in streaming platforms, with banners and putting it in the main page, inviting people to listen to it.

They should only release the music online one week after the physical release. So for people who are eager will boost up the sales

[Andrenekoi]

In the age of streaming and piracy, the album will be bought for those who would buy it anyway.

[rainbow_smile]

and also on the other hand people who aren't so sure about purchasing the album (because they don't want to buy without knowing if the music is good or not) might listen to it on subscription, like it and decide to buy it after all

one person can stream more than once tho

[Xianghua]

I'm happy about it because it'll be on my birthday. best present.

Don't know what to say...
I think that #1 first week is a dream now.

It's not really a dream (possibility-wise). They could easily put her in a week where she would get #1. Kuu managed it too after all, with not so high sales. It's just that they don't really care for it anymore. Even without digital pre-release (which I don't think affects the sales that much, as someone said, the people who want to buy it physically will do so anyway), Perfume will most likely beat her.

It was never a dream to begin with since that week is also a Perfume album release week, iirc.

I don't really see why this was necessary. They said something similar about M(A)DE IN JAPAN within 3 days. The rough mix of the weird demo got around 20k streams on AWA in about two days.

omg I can't wait! I hope they put it on Spotify too

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I think it is wonderful. At least to me: because I wanna be sure that the album is good before I buy it.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^I haven't ordered this time , but I usually download an album as fast as I can. I only buy albums for collection purpose and the DVD/extras.

[Akutenshi]

I don't understand the opposition to streaming. Maybe it's just because I've been around since 2004, but albums back in the day used to leak a month in advance and people would clamor to download it, completely for free. At least streams get the artist monetary support.

[maxikot]

I am happy to get the chance to listen to the album earlier ;- ) If I was buying the album it wouldn't affect my decision. And I am not buying it due to financial reasons only.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I wonder if we’ll get the official track list by then.

[summerain]

I don't get the problem with this release specifically. People who bought Deluxe Set is having a DVD/Blu-Ray of a tour and a lot of goodies. The album per se is secondary.

[LOGMAN]

Ah yes - that actually makes sense, I am with you now.
