I'm becoming ravenous. I can't wait! DDDD:

Sorry about the double post but I wanted everyone to see this!

Have you been wanting to listen to the full version of AHEAD since it was announced? Have you ever wanted to listen to a Japanese girl talk about a phone that you'll never buy due to Japan-exclusivity and/or lack of interest? Well, you're in luck! Now you can do both at the same time with THIS video!

That guitar solo is sooooooooo yum <3

EDIT - My mistake, it's not the full version. But it's pretty close.

someone posted 'AHEAD' mp3 on facebook, here's the link:

How does one simply get ahold of...?! Oh whatever! Thanks for sharing, kamola!

Gosh, this song is AMAAAAAAAZING. I admit I thought I'd be disappointed because it sounded like a mix between pop and hard rock, but it came out perfectly wonderful! Time to listen to this forever and ever and ever and ever.

It starts selling on Japan iTunes today.
'AHEAD' sounds like 'ANGEL TRIP' still I like it a lot.

Pre-ordered the single already :). Oh, I can smell new album before this year ends and the announcement of the world tour dates before Christmas ^__^

I suppose nobody's uploaded Replay yet?

EDIT - Nevermind. J posted a message about it and we should probably refrain from uploading it. @_@

EDIT 2 - And I just figured out that REPLAY is only on the CD version that doesn't release until July. Doop.

Where is J posting, anyway? Not on his facebook account, which he set up and got us English speakers all excited, then abandoned.
