fugly poster

^+1

btw, kinda love the goodbye happiness pv..it really got into me.

I thought that the French song was promotion as well. Isn't one of the songs for an Ashita no jo movie or something like that? I guess around 500K in the end is better than alot of other artists could hope for but its still a bit of a surprise.

I think I had the same feeling, and then I realized that the song sounded like Flavour of life in another key. Very pretty song though, all the new ones are (except for that French monstrosity).

That poster sucks lol

Never thought that would happen with Hikki for some reason! But I guess I gotta face reality lol.

omg at the poster LOL. Such a cheap half-assed job.

Translations of Can't Wait 'Til Christmas and Arashi no Megami are up at my LJ (here).

It seems Arashi no Megami was written for her mother.

oh my god. the poster is horrible. no continuity at all. they could have at least photoshoped the sky around hikki to look like stars, or just had all of the picture with hikki as the poster and gotten rid of the album cover.

The pictures individually would have made interesting posters, but slapped together like that, horrible.

Beautiful. Thank you very much!

:roflmao

Thank you hikki, so much, for his beautiful poster, that I totally could not have made myself.

And also, thank you so much for this single collection release, because it is the best release Japan has have ever seen and it deserves millions of sales.

I mean, the 5 new songs are just THAT GOOD.

Honestly, I have a feeling that everything is done only averagely. Like, this is your last release before the hiatus, pull out all the stops, make some effort dammit : P

The songs are just AMAZING, but the rest is quite cheap...

Oh yes, I'm perfectly happy with the songs! Still, I can't help but feel disappointed about the rest...

And like...why couldnt they have like, okay, the utada picture take up the whole thing.

But they probably want the star thing, right?

Why couldn't they have just made the star thing the background for the text part?

Like, that takes the same amount of scant effort. And it looks 50 million times better.

I can see nowadays the promotion team should make better tactic because she hasn't been in the music scene for two years. But her promotion was never huge in the beginning (except probly Distance.. :P, although still not as huge as what avex did to A BEST). She has been "lazy" or "not putting effort" at all for 11 years, can't see the difference.

The low sales only indicates that the promotion method (that they've been using for 10 years) doesn't work for this best album. And I wonder how many copies have been made for the initial shipping..?

The poster may seem simply composed but I can see how it shows the contrast between the sky close to us and the one far away. It's a reflection on Hikki's name, 宇.

OK, i have a question...

wasn't the cover supposed to be really cool, and Utada said that the pictures online didn't do it justice? so, is it really that cool? is it more than just some stars???
