I support you, "In the corner" would have been excellent in the tracklist, I'll take "HOPE or PAIN" out

I wonder if in "Load of the SHUGYO", SHUGYO refers to 就業, which means employment or starting work?

The genre divisions look (to me) like:

(Midtempo/ethereal ballad)
Bridge to the sky
NEXT LEVEL
(Electro/experimental/R&B)
Disco-munication
EnergizE
Sparkle
rollin'
(Oriental pop/rock)
GREEN
Load of the SHUGYO
(Rock)
identity
Rule
LOVE'n'HATE
(Ballad)
Pieces of SEVEN
Days
Curtain call

Of course some interludes in there too, but it seems hard to tell which ones exactly.

if there werent the random shades of red and orange on the cover, and they were replaced with blue or something, there would be a big change on how i feel about the cover. I mean, i already love it~ but it would be so much better~

GOD I'M SO EXCITED.

The tracklist is... disgusting. I guess the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" applies but... how meaningful can "rollin'" and "Load of the SHUGYO" be?
I don't recommend judging by track names alone (only because I was totally wrong with how GREEN and Sparkle sounded, and thus don't think it's logical to assume the 'sound' of a song based on what its called), so therefore I think it's a bit silly to say these songs won't be "meaningful" just because their titles look weird to you. "Kiss o'kill" is still one of the weirdest names for a song I've heard, but I think it's a fantastic song musically.

Case in point--Dir en grey has a song called Spilled Milk. Weird, right? Kinda silly? Well, look at the lyrics and interpretations. Not so silly anymore. Same goes for Gyakujotannou Keloid Milk, IMO.

Basically, a song is more than what its called and what it sounds like (musically): it's the words included and the meaning of said words. All of these things need to be taken into account before dismissing them.

I saw this on wikipedia first and totally thought someone had made up this tracklist, because the titles are ridiculous...and then I clicked on the official website hahaha. Oh well, hopefully the songs will be good to make up for the weird ass titles.

I think the cover will grow on me. I really like it at the moment but don't OMFGLOVE just yet.

Some of the titles are strange though They don't give away what the songs will sound like so it's still a mystery!!

Thanks for sharing this, we also finally have a PV for Sparkle! ^_^ Yaaay~

Ok, she's lost her mind. I usually don't care how weird her titles are, but these are just WHAT!?! And that is by far her worst cover. Ok, maybe not as bad as Miss Understood, but damn close. At least her covers and track lists seemed to have some meaning before, but these are just both ick. I'll see if they grow on me, but right now I'm having trouble picturing that happening. Everytime I see the title "Rollin'" I just can't get Limp Bizkit or some lame rap song out of my head.

btw, if I had bought the Rule/Sparkle DVD version, I'd be pretty pissed right about now.

The only good thing I can think about this is that at least Life and Mirrorcle World aren't on it.

I'll still try to think positive about the music, but if the covers and titles are any indication as well as the direction that Sparkle took - then there are several other artists that I can just get a fun, brainless album from. Call me negative or whatever you want, but I just simply expect a higher level then that from Ayumi.

This album sounds a lot of fun, I want the cd + 2dvd version! (though I have to say, the cover is a bit wierd...)There are so many PVs included on this album and I just saw this on Ayu's official website (it's 6 in the morning and I haven't been to bed yet, so) I actually can't wait for this! 22 days!!!

i can see people being pissed about this too. but i guess for the casual ayu fan who just likes a select few of her songs, this is good for them.

and anyway, those of us who bought the CD+DVD version of Rule/Sparkle probably knew that it would be on the NEXT LEVEL DVD anyway.
