Comment. I am still not certain of where to draw the line for album notability, but here are some facts: 1) This album did peak at number 2 on the Oricon album chart ([1]) and is the band's highest charting album so far (along with Seimeiryoku); 2) it was certified as a gold album ([2]); 3) there are quite a number of seemingly independent and significant RS on the album (with both interviews: [3], [4], [5], [6]; and reviews: [7], [8], [9], etc.). I am not that familiar with the music press, so I cannot judge all of these, but there does seem to be considerable coverage. Michitaro (talk) 02:42, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - 1. It was certified gold and peaked at number 2, 2. it has received coverage in reliable sources, in particular, the Excite.co.jp interview. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Since I don't see any discussion arguing against the RS and information I found, I will judge the sources sufficient to satisfy notability. Michitaro (talk) 01:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep thanks to Michitaro's sources and informations. Cavarrone 06:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
