Actually hoping that "Virgin Road (Acoustic Orchestra Version)" is on the next single. :P

lol i agree with most of this

-----

anyway i love the covers a LOT :heart shes so pretty... i personally cant dislike them cuz its not unique enough and doesnt look like a surrealist painting lol...no complaints from me <3 i think theyre gorgeous

and i want all of these albums...REALLY badly

She looks really pretty on the covers, but that's it. Not sure what I was realistically expecting.

awe. the covers aren't really different. I think she looks a bit weird in the trance cover. I don't know what it is, but something is slightly off. but I guess the covers aren't really what matter, even though I was expecting them to blow my mind.

Also where is the 5th cd going to be? In the picture, they just have it laying on the side. Is it really going to be an entire different thing from the box set? hm. oh well, I'm still loving this so far.

From a graphic design standpoint, they just look cheap and amateurish and not that good imo. Plus the execution of the 60s/mod scheme doesn't really fit with the remix styles. It just looks a little tacky to me..

The pictures were in fact taken at the place in Hollywood where Ayu said Lady Gaga was the day before.

^^LOVE.

are they suppose to be 3-d or is it just an image effect?

i think is just an effect...i can't see anything 3-dish with my 3d stereoscopic glasses

That box set is truly amazing! Im thinking of ordering another one NOT to open!

Agreed as much as pretty covers are nice, we just look at them every now and then yet the music is what really matters. Let's cut avex a break, they're giving us the ayu trance we begged for, so why don't we just be happy with that. I mean also too most of us can agree that the covers aren't HORRIBLE beyond belief so what's the big deal. I'm personally neutral about them they aren't bad or awesome. Pretty, but kinda cheap yet a cool retro cheap

Totally agree, although even though fans brought on the trance idea, I think max was planning a 50th anniversary remix album all along, but I think out fandom promoted the making of oldschool remix styles, the trance and euro

Agreed, what happened to covers like rainbow, m, voyage, things like that.

You're right. Avex (and Max and Ayu) did do us fans a favor for releasing these at fans' requests. As long as the music itself is good, I won't really care about the covers (which aren't horrible anyway) and be happy. :)

I love the way she covers her eyes:)

she shot the covers in Hollywood? Wow I couldn't tell with that white background.

A studio in hollywood :P

I agree, I was looking forward to hopefully see this on her acoustic version since hearing her sing it acoustic at CDL10-11 ~do it again~ but when I saw it wasn't on there :eyes, but all we can do is hope that we do see it with the next single but if its not their then we will probable not get one until maybe a ayu-mi-x 8

ouch ... sorry hun but that font you're using is hurting my eyes. :loony

the shade ... love it :)

...

as for the covers.

i like them . A LOT !

i gave up having hope in avex and the mountain-monkeys they choose to
design covers so those kinda surprised me.

it's not ayu's fault. none of the artist's are to blame what avex is doin to them
photoshop-wise.

ayu, kuu, namie etc. are not trained in photoshop and/or are graphic designers.
they are singers/performers.

that being said...

in order of likeness

trance > box set > acoustic orchestra > ayu-ro mix > house

Ah... I see

Hahaha, it's a nicer shade than most white we see.. looks like cream :)

I think most of ayu's looks on her lately covers are too cute
but yes! this is what I need, she becomes beautiful again
aww, I miss beautiful ayu ♥
