I just saw the CDJ mail about her new album. I don't really like the title. Guitarissimo sounds nice but guitarium sound so boring to me!

HTMSD · #4 10th February 2012, 12:11 AM

guitarium limited is #1 on tower.jp and #4 on HMV Japan
#15 music overall and #8 Jpop on amazon Japan.

Just 2 days after announcement of the preorder. Yet guitarissimo limited need to be #1 on many sales chart, just a week before the release date, lol.

I hope she's doing well this time!!
There's no way to defeat SKE48 on chart, but if there's miracle, there'll be!

mellody · #5 10th February 2012, 02:16 AM

^ SDN48, not SKE lol.

So, here's my thought on "guitarium" :

I've been reading lots of sources regarding this title, not sure if miwa pointed it out too on her latest radio show. guitarium based on guitarhythm, in Japanese it's called "guitarizumu" and why she changed it to guitarium, it's because simplicity thing, or easier-to-remember, cute name, and such, we never know what's inside (this little) girl's mind.

On the other note, guitarhythm basically means rhythm guitar, it can makes a lot of harmony on musical genre, such as pop, rock, jazz, and so on. As a result, we got a song like 441, FRiDAY-MA-MAGiC, Kataomoi, and even Ikutsu ni Natte mo, all of them has different sound and style, so we can expect multiple and variety of genre in this album.

I don't understand musical terms, so I just wrote what I understand, btw.

Anyway, that title may sounds creative in many way, but still, as for me it's a lame name.

I still thinking that guitarium is guitar and aquarium XDD

My thoughts exactly :3

Bigtop · #8 10th February 2012, 05:23 PM

Well, we have to also be aware that GACKT will be releasing a new album on 3/14 as well...

lanfix · #9 11th February 2012, 05:39 PM

MSta performance from yesterday

PoetGirl · #10 11th February 2012, 11:30 PM

I dont want her to quit music, I fell in love with her with new single. She can't do that. I love her cute voice!! I loved that performance. Perfect! She's so pretty.

*Insider information*
guitarium track listing revealed (via @miwapick)

Spoiler:

OogoeDiamond · #12 14th February 2012, 06:02 AM

^ to be specific only one since hajmimari have new version and there is no Clair de la lune

HTMSD · #13 14th February 2012, 06:14 AM

As leaked on tower records website, here it is, the disappointing tracklist!!

1. いくつになっても (Ikutsu ni Natte Mo) 4:43
2. 441 4:06
3. ふたりのサタディ (futari no SATURDAY) 4:35
4. 片想い (Kataomoi) 5:48
5. againxagain 4:31
6. jexxxa 4:32
7. またね (Mata ne) 5:48
8. コットンの季節 (COTTON no Kisetsu) 4:28
9. Chasing hearts 4:36
10. メリーゴーランド (MERRY GO ROUND) 5:17
11. クレアデルネ (CLAIR DE LUNE) 4:26
12. take@chance 4:30
13. FRiDAY-MA-MAGiC 4:22
14. 始まりは終わりじゃない＜endress version＞ (Hajimari wa Owari Jyanai ) 5:49

We only get 7 new tracks, 1 new mix, 2 tracks that released on chaku-uta, 3 A-Side tracks already released in single, and 3 B-Side tracks already released in single. Quite a disappointment according to her previous album that most of them are new tracks.

But, according to miwa blog, she's still recording new tracks. Perhaps the final tracklists will be changed. Hope so...

PoetGirl · #14 14th February 2012, 07:07 AM

lol, Im glad again I just bumped in, I didnt hear previous singles so album will be all fresh and new for me.

Bigtop · #15 14th February 2012, 08:23 AM

Well, at least the potential of Futari no Saturday in this album is quite certain...

adantatu2 · #16 14th February 2012, 07:17 PM

since i don't buy singles, i think the tracklist is ok for me !
7 songs are a lot, now i can't wait for the covers =)

mellody · #17 20th February 2012, 03:27 AM

Not really disappointing for me, 7 new tracks are quite many, plus remix even though it seems like we got a weird flow for the album. (Futari no Saturday to Kataomoi?)

Also, most of the titles seems very interesting, againxagain, jexxxa, take@chance, lol, what a normal university student. What the hell is endress version btw?

Can't wait for the covers and DVD content!

EDITED:
HTMSD can rejoice, the whole info about that tracklist is removed everywhere, let's see how it will be changed.

lanfix · #18 20th February 2012, 03:57 AM

^ maybe it's typo and supposed to be 'endless'

by the way at first I misread it as 'undress' version =))
*don't kill me it's an honest mistake*

Bigtop · #19 20th February 2012, 05:33 AM

Oh... I did not know that the tracklist information was too premature to post or somehow...

mellody · #20 20th February 2012, 11:35 AM

Song with 'undress' version would be naked, so what is a naked song anyway?

I need covers first, tracklist doesn't matter, as long as not so many B-sides included.
