lol at your set. and i think the close up monkey face version is just as bad as the mu covers.

i really dislike them, the horribley tasteless and bland gradient, the hair, and pose, and clothes, it looks like the cover of a cd back in the 70's or 80's of some 1 hit wonder, and you just happen to be browsing through a thrift store and came across it all dust covered and cracked and the cover would read "Jessica Whitehurst Greatest Love Ballads Hit Collection" in a really cheesy font/color scheme. and the back would be a compilation list of previous songs such as "just me and my country guitar" "smooth as strawberries and chocolate" and "love talk on the beach" or some really cheesy titles like that. and the inside would feature more pictures of her by herself by the beach, and lying on her bed, and blah blah blah.

I don't get it, what's wrong with her set? :yconfused The pics are pretty, can't say the same about the one in yours though~

i always thought S/S covers horridness is exaggerated. same for m(u). but what isnt exaggerated here? look at Picaflor's post. so detailed lol. (but i guess to everyone nothing is exaggerated. just how "strongly" they feel.)

yes i think these covers are better. i think theyre fantastic covers.

yah. . .so anyway i cant wait for this to fully come out. the moon pv looks promising from the pics. more importantly i cant wait to here blossom full.

lol I kinda agree with you :laugh
I mean, they're way better than S/S imo but they're not so amazing as I was thinking.
Although blossom/MOON is the most cutest in there.

Well, I thought it was the purpose of theses covers when a see it for the first time... Since these times Ayu loves everything that is vintage... !

LOL That's really detailed. Don't agree but I still found it funny. :laugh

I like captain's set though, it's reli kawaii imo. :P

it's funny because she says they were pretty bad yet her set consists of them. :thud lol
like me saying "god were the missunderstood covers atrocious, and then making a set out of them, very ironic.

and my set is beautiful. who doesn't love rainbows?! lol :P

Wha? Confused much. Her current. Cux she likes those, no? Did she have a S/S set recently or something?

Ahh lol I think you misunderstood, lol~ I was saying the S/S covers and (m)u cd only were reli bad :laugh

oh sorry, i thought you said you hated the new covers, and then i noticed your set and was like "what are they talking about?" lol

The covers are my favourite but they're not bad. Ayu looks good in them.
Speaking of sets, finished my new one today! You like?

As for which edition I'm getting, right now I'm leaning towards the blossom/MOON CD only as I liked meaning of Love more than Last Links. But if the Don't look back remix is shite than I'll just get MOON/blossom instead.

Screw the DVD, I can wait until the album comes out. I think.

ayu will post the big news on TA tomorrow on 9PM Japan's time and 12:00 AM on the official website. xD

^ ooooh,tomorrow??I can't wait Ayu >_<

get ready for more crashing and then no information posted at 9pm! :laugh

Can't wait!

Sunrise/Sunset covers were horrible but these are even worse.
Her hair is a mess, akward poses & her expression is just so weird, she looks uncomfortable & clueless, the fonts are ugly as hell. I think the only thing i like about these covers is the color scheme.

This could be for her 49th single! (Watch out - if it's September 1st, well it could be a problem - my two favorite new singers, miwa and Sayuri Sugawara, sure won't get #1 on that date, but with Ayumi Hamasaki? That's going to be UGLY... Three favorite singers releasing singles on the same date...)

Just no. :no You can hate or despise the covers all you want, but there is no need to overreact and take things that far.

Anyway, I love the photographer who shot these covers - Kazutaka Nakamura. I don't think there's a shoot I've seen by him that I don't like. I recently took a look at that Rinka photo book he shot - GORGEOUS. Ayu needs to keep working with him.

I think the big news will be PV for blossom :D

But she already told us about that on twitter.
