Just buy it digitally, no? It'd be the same as buying a digital single, assuming it's not Album-Only.

I disagree with this being the most useless release ever... What about LOVE CLASSICS, LOVE and again? :P

Those releases had arrangements that played to the strengths of the songs. I cannot see this going well for me because as I mentioned, classical renditions of fast-paced songs I do not enjoy.

lol I don't think Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ is a pointless release . To me , some of her most pointless releases are WINTER BALLAD SELECTION & A THEME SONGS -Drama edition-

But those were only released digitally but still :x

In addition it took Ayu almost 5 years to release a proper Winter single last year

I hope I will be surprised on what Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ offers . I mean , I didn't like You & Me but the A CLASSICAL version I enjoyed it a lot

I dislike Sky high in sixxxxxx but maybe the Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ version will change my opinion towards it ?

^ That is what I am hoping for also, Y&M on A CLASSICAL was also an enormous improvement to me :yes

Yay! I'll let my excitement for this shield all the bitterness~

Finally, a classical release, as well as a compilation, without the same ol' songs we've had re-done over and over again. That's what makes this release exciting and different, imo.

What is a can badge? Is it like a coaster, or something completely different?

^ it's a pin, made of aluminum. For some reason they call it a can badge haha.

I think Sorrows, Last minute, Out of control ~classical versions~ will be beautiful pieces though

I just want story classical damn. I don't want to hear most of these songs lol
But I do really look forward to No Future and Sky High

So only one new song instead of 2-3. So likely no promotion at Music Station. So likely no new PV and making of.

Yeah finally no more old songs, only new song I look forward listen NO FUTURE and Out of control... my favorite songs of the year :love:love

I will listen to it and buy it (because yes, for the collectors on this forum, you do have to buy every music release...), but I'm resentful that it's not ayu-mi-x or ayu trance.

She could release Winter Diary digitally like Together When... and then in the first quarter of 2015, she could release new remix albums. EVEN if they were just digitally~! They would save on packaging. I am just thirsty for new remixes. Specifically, ayu trance.

Still, high hopes that these sound halfway decent.

oh ayu, this is soooo youuuu

Classical versions of songs like NO FUTURE and Last minute are extremely welcome.

So it acts like a single with classical remixes I suppose. I don't mind ayu not releasing it as a conventional single...

I actually don't buy singles but releases like these make them worth it since we're getting a classical (remix) album and later on Winter diary mind end up on an original album so Winter diary as a single won't be a waste (remix and instrumental are not enough for me personally to buy something).

I don't like The GIFT original mix, so I might end up liking the classical mix.

So looking for WARNING, Last Minute, NO FUTURE, Out of control and, of course, Winter diary.

I love classical versions always, so I'm soooo happy with this :D

It's PV will be on the album probably unless they'll say it's going to be a DVD version of this release. Or maybe code-limited-time-online-available, but again on the next album.

Are we expecting Winter Diary to be what Sunrise was to Sunset? I'm thinking no, but the titles are quite similar, I was thinking it may be a small possibility...

When I saw this I thought it would probably be boring like the previous classic albums but songs like Warning and The Show Must Go On could be really interesting. The addition of a violinist reminded me of Kylie Minogue's orchestral mix of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" from "The Abbey Road Sessions" and that remix is amazing.

I agree that LOVE CLASSICS was not good, but i hope this record sounds like MY STORY classical...

I find it funny that people are assuming that it's because of the classical album that there won't be a single with more songs... who said she has more songs to be released anyway?

Judging by this, I'd say she had one song she planned on releasing during this time of the year just because she planned the Summer diary - Winter diary duo, and decided to put it in the classical album because it had to be released during winter. I still much rather get a whole classical album than a random digital single with one song.

I don't think she would have the time to do more songs for a single with the tour and the coming CDL preparations.

This is a great way to promote her newer releases. For example, ayu-mi-x 7 should have covered songs from Next Level through Love songs, but it never happened. LOVE again promotion was basically nonexistent so now that she's finally promoting current album through many ways, its a good thing (CDL 2014-2015, Arena Tour 2015, and now this classical CD).
