I was gonna order this album, but since my purchase won't count towards Oricon anyway... I'll just get it on iTunes when it's out.

...when everyone was away during the summer (and i was home alone o.o) I would blast H!P through my laptop because it's awesomely fun. xD

Wait, you mean there are still people who don't use headphones while listening to music?

I have my own room so I can just blast it whenever I want. But if its on a medium volume it doesn't translate the instrumental as well as it should as it does on headphones. I usually don't use headphones cos I always take them when I go out and its a hassle reconnecting and disconnecting to my mac.

Im not sure how to explain it, but some songs like Koibito have a more fuller instrumental while some other songs have a stronger instrumental more noticeable with earphones?

It also depends on the speakers and the acoustics of the room.

I love EDM but you know after a bit all the high tempo "cool" EDM MM'14 songs are starting to sound the same.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

some are starting to sound the same, i agree... but that might only be because someone's getting lazy? xD
Then again, this is what's selling so maybe tsunku is leaning towards that for the next while. (and btw i disagree, tiki bun doesn't sound much like anything, other than the repetition parts of Tiki Bun.)

^ I agree. I'm not a huge fan of EDM but this change of direction was what transformed me into a fan from a regular listener. I may not know much about the genre but I don't think they actually sound samey (except maybe for one or two). At least, it's not as awful as AKB's recent songs imho.

I wonder if Tsunku's going to continue with EDM for MM '15, I won't mind it but I also can't help but think maybe a slight change of style can be good too for the new members, just to indicate a new era or something. Though, I like all these kakkoi songs he's churning out and some unique ones once in a while like TokiSora.

*I can't stop listening to the album previews
