It makes the circle spin and pulse like in the Tokai no Manner PV. Totally badass.
Just a bit of physics trivia; the jacket and insert create Moiré patterns.

Oricon chart...

Wed Thurs
*1→*1 椎名林檎 「三文ゴシップ」
*2→*2 木村カエラ 「HOCUS POCUS」

25↓-- ともさかりえ 「トリドリ。」

...Guessing the Shiina and Kaela tie-ins didn't help too much.
After reading kuro_neko's great review though, am pretty curious about the album, hopefully will be able to get a copy next month.

here are some photos of the packaging. on the first one, which is a mirror image, you want to be looking for that little box on the bottom of the obi that wraps around the front cover that says 初回盤

the rest of the pictures are of the packaging. sorry for the reflection and bad quality, I just woke up and this is on a built in camera.

edit: I forgot to add, I checked the album artwork in this thread and on iTunes and it seems that the plastic insert overlay is included on all these, so I'm guessing that if there is a regular press it will be the same image just without the seperate insert, rather it will just be printed that way on the cover.

Okay, I've listened to this too. Some of it is pretty boring and blah, and some is quite good!

Good: Curtain Fall (a heartbreakingly, utterly beautiful song), Tokai no Manner (love it!), Zutto (ahh, I love songs like this), Mother Goose (excellent song, very captivating)
Boring: Mezame (hate it BLAAHH), Tarinsu (nice, but not great), Good day good bye (pleasant enough but doesn't grab me)
In the middle: Kodomo no Joukei (it's okay, just not that interesting really)

she sang Aozora on Domoto Kyodai last week.

She seems to love Ringo so I don't know why she does that to her songs all the time.

What are you talking about? It sounded fine. It wasn't perfect, but she did much better than most singers would have done. I missed the "Shall we take just down where we are?" part though...

She's mediocre through and through. I don't know why she insists on sucking the life out of Shiina Ringo songs when they aren't even on the album she's supposed to promote.
