Those mu-mo goods are terrible =\ Well, at least they're free??

I had a premonition that we'd get a bonus track in there so I hope that happens Been too long since we had a hidden track!

Not on the mini "Memorial address" but on " A BEST 2 -BLACK-" after "part of Me" (but maybe you were already referring to the last one).
The last time we got a hidden track was on "FIVE", wasn't it? "Why... feat. Urata Naoya", but that one's not much to have IMO so...

Unfortunately, what I've seen is that people get really hung up on the 'possibilities' and are really disappointed when the songs don't live up to it or are completely different from what was in their head. (this tends to happen for covers too, actually)

It doesn't happen for everyone who has fantasies about her future songs/lives/what have you, but it does happen.

Probably next week for sure or even early next week unless they keep the songs hidden until the week of release which is not unheard of.

I always expect covers to get worse & worse and never think about what will the songs end up like. The covers rarely positively surprise me, the tracks always do.

I think she just needs to try to be more conceptual with covers and people will be into it. Even just what she's wearing needs to be a bit more interesting (see FIVE) and we'll be good. That Party Queen scrapped shoot should NOT have been scrapped imo.

I think she (her team?) lacks creativity when it comes to concepts and I have a feeling they are really trying hard to sell the love theme FIVE was quite nice compared to the majority of covers she has had in years.

As for Party Queen I am not sure if those pretty pictures would actually save it...sure it would look nice, but they're still uninspiring and quite predictable

It's really odd though when people who don't really know the concept see the album (Party Queen) though, haha. -has had that happen several times-

Lately there really has been a bit too much "soft!LOVE!!!" cover in Ayu-land, but I think we'll get something nice sooner rather than later. This may be the end of the love train after all!

it effects people differently... I for one hated the FIVE covers... they were a total mess.
Where as Secret i loved, as with I am. Love songs was nice, LOVE again are nice as well.

Party Queen was a mess as well, but in a good way since they are supposed to be that way...
I hope to never see covers like FIVE again, lol...
OMG, next mini album:
FIVE again.
lol.

Maybe the end of the love train marks the beginning of the sad, depressing angsty train!
ASFXX part 2! THE IMPACT!

This is gonna be insane.

A BEST 3 is kind of what I am thinking will happen, but I will be happy with anything else.

No A Best 3

Although she'd still put some new stuff on it, so we'd still be getting something new lol.
But...I only support the idea of best albums if the artists go all out and perform and promote. Best albums just released and left to fail are so annoying. Like girl next door best album was horrible and pointless :-p
