compensate the NEXT FUTURE @ ~GIRL NEXT DOOR~'s 4th thread!

[KarenPang]

yeah because Artemis's an instrumental/interlude so I wasn't surprised that after the instrumental piece was finished , prior to that , the melody of Orion begins in a way or 2

that happened also for Day's ... & NEXT DOOR in their self titled debut album too

it will be odd if that didn't happened ne

[KarenPang]

NEXT FUTURE debuted at #1 today but the sales are terrible

I just have a feeling that this might give the trio their very 1st #1 , album wise

well let's see as time goes by

[Moriko]

After hearing the whole Album, I like it much better than I thought.
Jump and TriAngle are my favourites, and be your wings is on my third place.
I really like Artemis too, it's great that it's a long Instrumental Song, I really like that!
I'm getting the OS Version too when it's available from Yesasia, I don't care about if it's with the 3 booklets or not, the only thing I want is the CD and the DVD and a pretty Album booklet, than I'm happy!
Oh and Winter Crystal is growing on me! First i thought that's just a boring Song but now I start to really like it!

no it's not leaked out yet , just the main album itself

[ll moments ll]

i finally listened to the album today, lol. i think i prefer it over "GIRL NEXT DOOR" (i frankly don't remember anything other than the singles on it). i particularly like the 2nd half over the 1st half though! especially starting at "Artemis", haha. even though it's an interlude, it's really pretty. "sa-ku-ra" is gorgeous too.

i think "NEXT FUTURE" is a good step forward for GND. i hope they continue to improve. i'm waiting for the 2nd disc to leak though~ XD

[love in music]

Everything sounds the same on the album except 無防備な純愛, sa・ku・ra and the interludes. I like those the most

[freedreamer]

Im doubting the one I have..is it really 320kbps...The new tracks sound much poorer in quality. Anyone has a REAL RIP..

[rookies]

^ I noticed it too when I played it on my ipod.

Hopefully, someone can do a cd-rip when they get their copy.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

i just got my copy today and there's a typo on the cd :3

it says "NEXT FUTUER"

haha, you'd think with all the money avex makes they'd check the title of a cd from an artist they they promote a lot

[KarenPang]

LOL

that happened too for Kumi Kuu's TRICK album . There were so many typo errors inside the CD sleeves for it

unbelievable

I hope I wouldn't spot any of such errors when I get my Taiwan press copy in due time

[PrincessAyu]

I listened to the album, and it's just a let-down for me that vocals and melodies seem to get recycled all the time..... there's many songs that sound exactly alike, some melody wise but even some in which she sings in exact the same way. XD Best song imo is Koi no Mahou because it's a littttle different and catchy. Artemis is beautiful.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^it's about what I expected. and really, sales were horrible in everything this week, haha. it's an easy week for them to get a #1. and if they don't get number 1 i'll be surprised O_o.

you can't blame avex for not trying. GND has been plastered everywhere and on every radio station since their debut and they're just not selling that well. if this was released in the late 90's im sure they would have sold millions, haha. but the people's taste in music isn't "avex" anymore. avex's style never really changes.

but i mean, i guess it's good to get #1 *shrug*

and i did my part by buying a copy

[KarenPang]

haha yes I think the chances of them getting #1 is quite high . If they were to release it next Wed , probably not as abingdon boys school will roll out ABINGDON ROAD

at this day & age , physical CD sales are getting worst as each year goes by . My mum don't understand why I still bother buying CDs

holding the real thing in your hands beats seeing something intangible on so many levels & also , it's the least you can do to support a musician's hard work as it's their rice bowl after all

anyway I will be getting the Taiwan press / CD + DVD of NEXT FUTURE in due time when it's out this Fri

HMV HK will release the album next Tue & it will be 1st press in that it will come with that 12 page photo booklet

[Beauty4123]

...i'm just glad their #1

[Solarblade]

Well, it seems that the real download of NEXT FUTURE is up on KMC and it seems that there's a hidden track......it's Infinity but as a ballad ^_^

[OogoeDiamond]

O! Thats nice ;d
anyway still wainting for second cD

omg that's so cool

I saw the 1st press CD only of NEXT FUTURE earlier on at HMV Somerset but it's going for S$79 X______X

it's ok the Taiwan press / CD + DVD will be out tomorrow & I definitely will NOT be paying S$79 for it

EDIT - ok I think NEXT FUTURE might be getting #1 now overall

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

The 2nd & 3rd place's sales are selling twice/thrice of what NEXT FUTURE's moving so I guess good for the guys & girl

[minna]

well at least they are #1
I still don't know what the album sounds like...(got lots of problems with my computer...got it back only last weekend...)
I hope I'll be able to download it soon ...

[OogoeDiamond]

where is a CD 2 for god sake :/
