...argh, I can't decide whether to listen or not. I might just read everyone else's reactions and try to wait for January to roll round...

I better hear the higher quality of this before I judge. A lot of it is very mainstream pop so it's not really up my alley, but it might just be that the background arrangements are muffled. Tegami however.. sounds like a really, really, really beautiful piece! If I were to choose, they should have chosen this to open the album :D Wah! I want this song NOW. <3

I can't seem to get the files to play. When I hit the button before the track, it keeps trying to save as a .asx file. I know it's because I have Ubuntu, and therefore I haven't got Windows Media Player of Real Player.

But I guess I can wait until January! xD

SPOILERS for those who aren't listening to the previews (like I was trying to...)

I gave in and listened to the preview of the tracks. Mizuumi, TOPIA and Moonlight sound dead boring...LUCKILY all the up-tempo songs sound wonderful. Loving the string arrangements...actually, some of the stuff on this album sounds a lot like the album tracks on DIVE. Is that just me? I wonder if it is the strings...but like Neko to Inu

And also, does no one else think that 'Himitsu' sounds like a Fiction Junction YUUKA song?

Yes list:

01. eternal return
02. 秘密  
04. 美しい人
05. キミノセイ
08. stand up, girls!
09. ミライ地図
11. 手紙
10. ムーンライト(または“きみが眠るための音楽”) = a maybe...could be turned by the full version...

No list:
03. DOWN TOWN
06. ゼロとイチ
07. みずうみ
12. トピア

I just listened once to each song, and my favorite one was Tegami.

wow, very great !
the sound seems a bit cold, but this is the video quality I think, as the Lion at begining of the video feels this too.

*out to pre-order YCCM right now*

LOL at when Maaya's singing to herself but wow! That length makes Himitsu sound a lot better than it did in the preview. I love it! And the jumping in slow motion!!! Pretty *_*

EDIT: that looks like it would be an awesome PV....

Sharing the extracted promo songs {You can't Catch Me}, in Mp3 format VBR (12mb file)
04 and 05 is excluded because it has already been released.

http://mir.cr/1CD2RATZ (Download Link)

PV song also have been included, but meh.. other songs from the streaming quality from the official site was better. And, I did like the kakebunshin effect that she does in the PV. haha, nice one, pink water hose.. yeah Awesome.

Well, because it emphazises the best part of the chorus, but you know, the version on the CD will certainly be full-length ;p
