But DO NOT give up!
It will be sooooo worth it!!

Still holding out, only saw CM and read the lyrics! The short version of PVs will be out soon! I'm going to have to staaaaaaaaaaaay away from AHS for a while lol.

[Sirea]

I'm still holding out as well!

I haven't seen the CM yet, and I only read the lyrics for Love song... it was pretty much accidental, I did it without even realizing what I was reading haha... I also haven't seen any of the new PVs or read any other lyrics or anything...

This album is going to be a great surprise/Christmas present and I think that's the way it's meant to be.

[freedreamer]

Zzzz its everywhere. I dont even dare enter the thoughts page and the main page...

i wouldnt mind reading SONG OPINIONS but PV opinions tend to be spoilers >.<

there's no way i would ever go without hearing the songs. If i bought her new album for myself and wanted to hold out on any information and hope I'd get a great surprise, it might not be that great. I really didn't like next level at all. I'm glad I heard the previews first and decided whether to get it or not. What if I bought it without listening to anything first and then found out (after spending 40 dollars) that I really didn't like the album? That'd be a big waste on my part.

^ I'm so glad I never have that problem LOL.

Luckily I never disliked an Ayu album totally. Even GUILTY, my least Ayu album ever.
And I'm a collector besides a fan, so I want my album discography complete and it's not a huge waste of money for me.
But well, it depends on yours financial situations. If you don't have enough money to afford it, you should listen to the previews first.

same here
I dont have very high and perfect expectations for music in general. As long as it sounds good then i'll take it. I trust her music.
But im just very excited to know what she's gonna do this time. Reading all the comments are making me excited haha

and i strayed into the main thread :X
luckily not many comments about the PVs hahha...and there's so much "leak now" stuff...garhh....

SEVEN DAYS WAR begins!
O YEAH, Im gonna abstain from ALL the single tracks in the album too...

[HanabiChick]

I was going to do the usual thing of downloading the album when it's shared, but because I had some bad luck getting it (brother couldn't order until now, problems with card, his laptop is broken...), it's only been ordered today. Hopefully, even though it's a late order, I might get it on time next week so I'm going to wait until it arrives to listen to it and watch the PVs.

[freedreamer]

Anyone holding out actually watched the ORIGINAL CM??? argh..this is killing me

[freedreamer]

Who thinks this is a torment?!

[hsienko]

I have heard the song clips and the leak of the full version of Love Songs. But other than that I haven't watch anything or listen to any leaks.

I'm not really doing this intentionally I'm just too lazy to download all crap leaks when the album will be released and ripped in HQ in like a week.

[Ranma Matsuri]

Yeah, I've pretty much done the same as hsienko. I've already paid for the album and will be able to listen to the songs and see the PV's in HQ in a few days so I've decided not to bother with the leaks. I already got what I wanted anyway, which was to see how the LE will look so I'm chill now.

Will just be avoiding the song reviews until I get to hear them myself. I'm sure some of the reactions right now are due to *new album* fever but I still can't help but be excited.

[Zeke.]

Downloaded the album today, looked at the covers, and photobooklet pictures since I cancelled my order. You know, I actually think not getting the album might help me - since it really helps keep the anticipation and glamour out of my expectations.

[freedreamer]

^lol. its funny how this happened for both RnRC and Love songs...must be a bad year for you.

for me, so far, I've downloaded the album but havent played it. I really hope its a fantastic Monday tmr..if you get what I mean
and its so tormenting looking through my iTunes because the whole album is there unchecked and Ayu's face is like "Listen to me, you know you want to" ARGHHHH >.<

Lol, well my expectations for this album were kept 100% under control. With R'n'R - I really had skyrocket expectations. So this album actually sounds pretty good. I mean, the album tracks sound like good album tracks - nothing really sounds like "single" material which kind of bothers me but they do sound like very good album tracks (most of them). I will enjoy this album and take it as is this time around.

GOOD FOR YOU!

[freedreamer]

Haha nice one all.night.raver. Hopefully it'll grow on you more I want mine now!! Argh

[Sirea]

Ahhhh! Apparently the album leaked (one look at twitter was enough to tell me that). The pressure's crazy now because everyone is -raving- about this album.

I was talking to my mom tonight and she was telling me about some gifts she bought me, and she said "There was one we thought we'd have to get to you after Christmas, but we got an email saying it shipped today so you'll probably get it for Christmas after all." I wonder, could the album have shipped early? I guess what I should be wondering is if she got me the album at all to begin with. D:

[freedreamer]

It..shipped?! I know CDJapan has definitely shipped it. I mean for RnRC, i got my album when the status was still "In Shipping Process". sometimes, it can be that lag. LOL
but i mean, my album may be coming down now..and im praying so hard I'll get it tmr. I seriously cant wait..

here's a question to all you guys holding out..or rather, to those who have gone thru the pages of comments

what are you feeling about Love songs now? haha

for me, I cant wait. the negativity doesnt get to me because the positive comments seem so much more powerful honestly.
