Yeah, I'm actually confident in the covers.

I'm really anxious to see the covers...I just hope it's not another Mirrocle World or Days/GREEN-looking cover :thud

I'm still waiting for the picture of the TA uchiwa before ordering from mumo

Thread #3! Woot woot! :D

:thud

Those are like my favorite Ayu covers :luv2 (seriously, like half the reason I'm buying the singles is so I can look at those gorgeous covers in person lol)! So I pretty much hoping the opposite, lol.


But again, as long as the covers look NOTHING like S/S then I'm good. XD

agreed
ANYTHING but S/S style will be fine

It seems everyone knows she got a new design team - how does everyone know this? Lol.

Who is this "everyone"? lol. She just used a different team for RnRC... did she say she was completely changing it up now or something?

After Sunrise/Sunset, things went weird in Ayu world.

Utsumizm started to go by Mizumo, her design team changed from RICE MOMOYA to random other design firms (You were.../BALLAD, the TeamAyu magazines since then, and Rock'n'Roll Circus/AT09 were done by different people. The AT08/AT09 book was probably the last thing they did...), her nailist changed from Bancho to the assistant nailist (now head nailist) Minazou, and a few other random little things. (Bancho still randomly hangs out with Ayu, so it's not like they split and went separate ways or anything.)

I just thought things felt a bit different, and after looking things up, it seems like the the people who were a part of RICE MOMOYA all left, or that group just dissolved. Shinichi Hara is no longer the Art Director/Design Director for her works. (he basically owned RICE MOMOYA I think?) There is one name or two that was originally RICE MOMOYA that's now under some other name that I saw recently. -rambling-

I hope the cover will be gorgeous, it's for her 48th-50th single anyway! :luv2

no emcee session??? o.O

Countdown Live is only 1 night, meaning the MC is already in there, stuffed between 2 songs. It doesn't need a seperate MC DVD like the Arena Tours.

i see. i thought they will put 'emcee session' on the tracklist'
i don't mean to have another disc for emcee session :P

^ CD Japan lists 2 discs so I guess there will be a extra-DVD with the MC + encore + backstage & rehearsals scenes!!

I want a cover uglier than Sunrise so I can appreciate Sunrise.

:P

Hahahaha, that's a great way of thinking XD
