I love all of these.

Yeah, I actually like all of these for a change. Limited A reminds me of the promo pic for KARA's STEP album.

THEY LOOK SO GOOD YES!
not really like how Mai and Chisato are styled, outfit and hair wise but overall this is so nice.
the regular edition is my favourite with the colours.

Covers are nice, but god damn this is still an ugly-ass album name. I get what they were going for, but if they wanted a ℃-ute + magic pun they could've just had Magi℃9 or something, which would've looked less... atrocious.

I get that it's also meant to be their "major 9th album" but it's still a bad looking title, okay.

...but... but Cmaj9 is a chord... Isn't that what they were going for?

Yeah, it's the chord. Magic isn't involved at all. If anything it's a lucky coincidence.

Plus, I sort of doubt that the Japanese target market is going to have the same kind of visceral reaction of "that's an ugly/awkward English word" that an English speaker might have. It's like, y'know, one of these in reverse:



All a non-Chinese reading person knows is that it looks cool and has no conception of whether it is meaningful or awkward. The true meaning doesn't really matter much unless one cares to investigate. (And if you do, unlike the above photo, the pun turns out to be pretty clever after all.)

Apparently a Nakky Centered song is what I needed in my life.


I do think she should've gotten at least one line of "Jounetsu Ecstasy" thought. I get why Airi got the final line but given the title of the song... I would've expected Nakky to get one.
