This is the best any of us could've hoped for!!

- No Mirrorcle World PV, so that means 3 New PV's!! AND ONE FOR SPARKLE! Couldn't have been happier about that

- No Mirrorcle World / Life on the album, resulting in a staggering 10 new songs! TEN!! I can understand if you like MW/Life, but then you can just buy the single right?

10 new songs and 3 new PV's, OMG I can't wait for this album!

It definitely makes up for the cover! I just don't like ayu with the frizzy hair, it's horrible. At least the colors and font are funky ^^ It's not that bad! I like Rule/Sparkle better though.

[Tony G]

LOL @ some of those names. She's gotten really inventive this time.

And the covers are once again great, really eye catching.

And YES SPARKLE PV!

I can't bloody wait.

Not only Sunshine, but I would love to hear your opinion as well.. I feel like you haven't talked about ayu for a long long time..

at least (m)u was honest..

this is just...so cramped...and...like the colors and even the hair and stuff would be fine with me, but it's just a horrible piece of photography...and and even worse showcase of bad graphics design.

I will never understand what prompted them to just throw her name in over there...and all the vertical lines doing nothing for the composition...just doesn't work at all.

I didn't know her name is on the cover until you mentioned it. It is indeed out of the place. Anywayz... I dunno about the cover. I think she is so bold to use those weird colors, making that hair, and that weird pose (how come she starts making weird poses recently?). Not that I dun like it... and actually I think it's quite a great idea. However, I dunno if this cover can against time (i.e., when we (or even herself) looking back a few years later, do we still think it as a great cover?).

I never care about the song titles that much. Only the songs themselves can affect my judgment.

Bigger cover

Spoiler:

I LOVE IT.

Really, I just love fros. So I'm kinda biased.

Wow... I called a bushy haired Ayu! XDDDD

[Tony G]

That cover looks even better live.

I think you can tell from the font the album's going to have songs like Sparkle on it, more electronic upbeat stuff and less rock. I'm ready for a change!

[bluegie]

Thanks Coelacanth

Wow.. I haven't seen her expanding her big eyes like this for a long long time (well since A BEST 2 lol).

Edit: There are even fingernails on the gloves... freakin' weird..

[Ayumiko]

There's nails on the gloves? that's like Duty! Anyways, she looks pretty on the cover...her eyes are huge!

I bet shitmomura took the pics. >_>

Her pose reminds me of Secret's pose

Well at least she's making herself as a leopard, so there would be claws on the gloves.. But this one is just a bit weird..

I like the cover, it's not bad. I was hoping the tracklist was a joke, but since it's on the official site it's not, sadly. I'm not sure what I think of the titles, I don't like them, although Ayu has had bad titles for good songs before. I'm hoping for something more like Ladies Night and (don't) Leave me alone, some strong tracks like Rule. Will wait and see what they're like first, it's hard to know how an album will sound like just from the titles.

[sanzo2011]

The tracklist sound so weird ! but i won't say any thing until i listen to them ! actually , i'm so tired of her rock song .....

[Blasterion]

Ayu wants to become the nail queen again ^^

and I kinda expected the colors on the cover to be like this.
I'm really excited about the album now

and wow.. disco-munication ? how does she come up with those titles!? lol

err..ever heard of Rihanna's 'Umbrella'? or Jordin Sprak's 'Tattoo'? or Jeniffer Hudson's 'Spotlight'?

maybe shes following that direction
