Mirror, bathroom and sexy versions.. sounds great 

[JFC]

The regular version of SBT wasn't sexy enough???


Okay.

[yokoso]

my quick thoughts on loneliness...

*  very dancable and cool, i love it overall
*  the chorus part is 'ok'.. it kinda reminds me of like, every other goto song
*  ... BUT her vocals were slammin
*  even if it's kinda rehashed, in the end it doesn't matter since i love it (stick with what works lol)

i hope the rest of the album is upbeat too.. and not like, ballads, ballads, ballads.  i still haven't preordered my copy ;;;;

Some Boys! Touch (Sexy Version)

OMFG   YAY ~ 



but somehow I still don't like the image ............

Didn't Maki just kind of roll around in front of the mirror and play with her hair (...and her boobs) a lot?
It seems like it's going to be a 4 minute Herbal Essences commericial. Only hotter. 

yes, one of the reason I'm buying it

2. Some Boys! Touch (Sexy Version)

I hope by "sexy version" they mean without Maki and using ONLY those hot backup dancers. Mmmm. 

(*note* That was totally a joke)

3. Secrect (Bathroom Version)

After watching the PV again and looking at a few of the shots that were in the bathroom... this one seems like it may be a little boring compared to the other two. Oh well. At least the CD itself is going to be AWESOME.

I totally ROFL-ed at this 

Sounds like the DVD is going to be interesting to say the least LOL

[shadowstar]

Looks like we'll be seeing this inside the album!   

[frblckstr1]

^ I'll bet they had to pay primium price for the 'dress'

[shadowstar]

LISTEN TO PREVIEWS OF THE ALBUM SONGS HERE!

[aedon]

DAY BREAK is pretty nice, but the lack of fast paced songs isn't

[tiny]

I found these lyrics on 2ch. They seem to be correct.

「DAY　BREAK」
   
会いたいな
会いたい
今日も夜がほらね明けてく
   
AH
なんとなく時計見る
夜が寂しいだけ
AH
さんざめく都会での
孤独に打たれ
誰でもいい？
そんなのウソだわ
   
恋するくらい
簡単だけど
たぶんアナタとのことが
ずっと忘れられないのね
   
付き合っていた
わけでもないのに・・・
たぶん少し期待していた
絶対ありえないんだけど

会いたいな
会いたい
声を少し聞いてみたいの
   
AH混沌としてくるわ
いつも会っていた時間
AH
本当の愛情に
飢えているみたい
   
鳥の鳴いている
良い日曜日ね
   
シャワーしたら
お散歩するわ
なんかアナタとの朝と
ちゃんと忘れられそうなの
   
毎日のように
会っていた頃なら
何も考えずに
いつも歩いていた道です
   
会いたいな
会いたい
声を少し聞いてみたいの

Thanks for the link with the previews!

Totally different type of songs than I expected. I expected the songs to be like how to use loneliness and more r 'n bish.. But there are actually more slower/mid tempo songs.. some even with a jazzy feel to it. I'm not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed haha.

[Blu-Cherri]

After listening to the previews I absolutely love the variety of songs!!
Really glad its not all RnB.  I liked quite like WOW 素敵!

[century]

I'll be honest. I'm dissapointed.

Most, if not all the songs have some form of repeated object sound, which makes it sound like it's from the 90s or something. The album isn't sexy at all.

ALTHOUGH
I do LOVE How to use loneliness, should of been a single.

I'm not sure I'll order the album now.

[wakaba_doll]

I'm not quite sure how I feel after listening to the previews. Like yokoso said on her LJ, the songs do feel like they belong on an Ayaya album rather than on Goto's, but... You can't deny that her voice is great on all of the tracks. It definitely has a much more laid-back feel to it than I was expecting (it's actually a lot in the style of Secret, my least favourite of her recent singles  ) but I think it could grow on me.

Definitely a more mature sound for Goto, but not the one we were all hoping for!

[Nouciel]

Based on previews, seems like the whole album would rather belong to Ayaya. I find that awesome, I've never liked Some Boys! Touch or Glass no Pumps enough. So, props to the arrangement men/women! It may not appeal to everyone, like Aya's new direction, but it's her best material yet, it's impressive, it has good vocals, I for one welcome this new style.

If I could chose Maki's direction, I'd definitely put her up as a rock star though

[yokoso]

I mean, I really do like the songs as whole.  My friend (Tina) who absolutely loved her past three singles was so looking forward to this CD (keep in mind, she's not a jpop fan to begin with).. but the previews she remarked, just seemed completely out of character with secret, SBT, etc.

As much as I do like the new songs, and as much as I LOVE her voice (major  there!!) it's not at all what I was originally looking forward to.  ESPECIALLY after hearing loneliness.. I was all like (YES!!) but WHAM.. NO11!!  Quite a surprise I'm not so happy about.  I think if this came at any other time from her.. or came from a different singer (Ayaya would have rocked a lot of these songs out to be honest), I would have been quite pleased.  For what it's worth, I'll def enjoy these new songs.. BUT.. it's still a letdown after being so pumped up the past several months.  Like wakaba said, it's like SECRET X's 8. ;;;;;;;

It's like, someone telling you they're making apple pie.. and you get all psyched, etc bring the damn whipped cream.. and instead you get a slide of apple cake.  Both are great, but the cake isn't what you were looking forward to.

[bloo_pie]

3rd Station still >>> this so far. but who knows, maybe they'll grow on me when the whole thing's out.
