Nice, but I think it's also a way to close the chapter with Risa-gate and then start "afresh" with the next single being the new line-up with the new additions.

I doubt they will be releasing a new single as the current line-up.

[YellowAccel]

Oricon has the tracklist too

I know they usually only do that for the 1st album, but i still wish there was a cover disc

[kakkowarui]

New song titles: 

Ai wa Ima, Ai wo Motometeru (愛は今、愛を求めてる)

Saijoukyuu Story (最上級Story)

Dakara Nannanda! (だからなんなんだ！)

Hikari no Curtain (光のカーテン)

Masayume (マサユメ)

[patapataful]

Very pleased!!! Hoped for a new album with the current line-up. Best way to end this chapter and start freshly with 3rd gen! And yay to 6 new songs!

[Kumi-chan]

I'm soooo excited for the new songs. In the video they said they will perform 2 of the new songs at HinaFes. I can't wait!

[ulises]

I´m in ecstasy for the news. 

 

A lot of time since the last H!P´s album (a year & a half). It´s about time! 

[RobianMoon]

I love how they are telling us that things are going to change, nice move up front!

Am I the only one who has C-utes Cmaj album outfit vibes?

Must admit, the color combinations are really bright! LoL

[chocolatmenthe]

^ The Cmaj outfits made them look really stylish, these just look like they have been cut out of cardboard.

They could possibly look great with the right lightning, which isn't the one in this picture.

 

Also "足りないもの埋めてゆく旅", the title is appropriate for the group's situation.

The 1st group pic is over lighted? To bright for my taste. The 2nd one is better. 

All in all the girls looking beautiful! Kiki, Ami and Saori are my fav *__*

[tadase]

The group shots felt like it was taken outdoors, hence the light bounces on the head. 

 

The individual pics were not as par though. I prefer they retained the pink background and shot their individual profile photos there and increase the saturation/vibrancy like the group photos -- look at Riko's outfit, it's dull on the individual shot compared to the group one. The ones published looked like they were just taken with a high-quality smartphone camera for some reason.

[YellowAccel]

Ami, Kiki and Saori looks the best IMO ^^

I really like this picture. Putting Riko in the centre with the other members surrounding her seems so fitting since she is the leader.

I thought my initials KB (ケービー) would be better for them to read than my name, which can sound like "kiss" in Japanese. But leave it to Ami to read it as KP rather than KB. At least she figured it out in time.
