i find this album overall has the most detached H!P feel, in a positive way. And I have a feeling it's a bit leaning towards the kumi-style, which is great for Maki ofcourse. She was bound to release a mature album. The fact that tsunku omitted the numbers in the title and past singles, confirmed our guessings that she is going for the sexyish laid back rnb type of artist.

I hope I don't regret ordering the regular instead of the limited edition.

I dont understand how people can say the songs are nothing like some boys touch, i mean its pretty much the same just a bit calm. I love it

I'm not done listening to the album yet, but I think that the new songs are really cool! I can't get over how detached it is from a typical H!P album

Wow. I've made a COMPLETE 180 on this, NEVER TRUST SAMPLE SONGS, EVER.

1. How to use loneliness = amazing,one of my favourites.
2. GIVE ME LOVE = wow, this is REALLY catchy, I love the beats and sounds in this.
3. SOME BOYS! Touch = amazing, as always.
4. City Wind = I LOVE THIS, SHOULD OF BEEN SECRETS RELEASE.
5. Nee Samishikute = It was a nice enough song, a bit average for me.
6. GNP = LOVE IT.
7. DAYBREAK = TERRIBLE, worst song on the album. Bad beats and sounds, and I was just sitting waiting for it to end.
8. WOW Suteki = Cheesy, its average and very cheesy. Would of been better in the 90s.
9 . SECRET = love it.
10. LIFE = WOW, WHAT AN ENDING. Accapella Maki FOR THE FUCKING WIN.

So, yeah, I've ordered my copy.

I feel exactly the same!
When I was listening to the previews I felt suicidal, but when I got the album...
This album is fresh and the songs are awesome!
My favorites are definitely:
1. How to Use Loneliness (Total Ownage!)
2. WOW Suteki
3. GIVE ME LOVE
4. LIFE
The other songs are also good, but I haven't listen to them as much yet.

Debut ranking in the Oricon Daily Album chart: 6th.

I was browsing around the US iTunes store just now. On a whim, I decided to do a search for "Maki Goto". Imagine my surprise when I saw a listing for "How to Use Sexy".:)

Love, Charmy

Enjoyed it.. but I'm sticking with that I said earlier. The first half of the album was totally rad. It kinda went downhill for me with the rest (of the new songs anyway). Sure they were fab and all.. but they didn't seem to match(?) with the previous songs at all. Kinda strange. I'm thinking it would have sounded much better if they were mixed in a little as opposed to being clumped toward the end.

I've been pretty impressed with this album, actually. Review(Opinion) Time (yeah, totally copying Adamu. Whatever)!

1. How to Use Loneliness - It's pretty good. I really like Maki doing this type of music, but it's not my favorite on this album by far.
2. Give Me Love - OH SNAP AWESOME! So catchy and SO SO GOOD.

3. Some Boys! Touch - STILL makes me feel I should go clubbing.
4. City Wind - I'm pretty sure this song will be frequenting my playlist A LOT in the next few weeks. This album hasn't disappointed yet!
5. Nee Samishikute - First not so good song on the album. It's pretty boring, actually.
6. Glass no Pumps - Still not as catchy as SB!T
7. Daybreak - Earns a big stack of WIN from me! Definitely one of my new Maki favorites!

I love, love this kind of loungey jazzy type song. I wouldn't recommend a whole album of it, but man it's awesome!
8. WOW Suteki - Eh. It's average. It might have worked better on a Miki solo album, really. It just didn't seem to fit.
9. Secret - Still a generic ballad with water drops to me. There are so many better Maki ballads than this....
10. LIFE - ....LIKE THIS ONE! OH MY GOSH THIS SONG IS BRILLIANT. It's so beautiful and Maki sounds AMAZING. This almost beats Egao for my favorite H!P ballad ever.

This album alone has definitely made me more of a Maki fan than I have been previously.

Now if they would just release Hips Don't Lie...
