Covers are nice, though I HATE the placement of 'again' title on the second one. "HEY LETS PUT TITLE ON MARO'S HEAD" lol

yup cover is nice but the 'again' looks awful

She has boyfriends in her videos and covers, now we just need them on songs.

LEOyumi 16th November 2012 05:09 PM

What's the problem with her using her boyfriend on the cover?
Anyways, the covers are cute! Nothing really special, but I kinda like them.

Without the relationship announciment, we wouldn't really care for it being Maro (aside from the usual "She puts her dancers everywhere!1!" *****ing)

But it also could be a publicity stunt to reveal it's Maro just before releasing the covers... I don't really care to be honest... Knowing she is dating Maro doesn't make their relationship less private, having him on the cover doesn't make their relationship less private, seeing paparazzi pics of them both together doesn't make it less private... In the end of the day, 100% of what we know about them, is that they are dating, period. She has no good reason to hide from anyone who she is seeing... She is a grown woman, and pretending you are not on a relationship is a huge waste of energy.

edit: Utada's hiatus is over and her new song ***** all over Ayu, her minis and her love life. Ayu could paint herself green and implant horns on her head and I wouldn't care right now <3

Please marry me xDDDDDDDD

Sorry for the off-topic :p

^ sadly its not over... she just did the song for the movie...

but imagine an album... MAN!

relmy 16th November 2012 05:22 PM

I really like the CD+DVD cover, it's very original for Ayu. Not too fond of the CD only, but it's really refreshing.

I agree with the people saying it's all very... convenient.

maikaru 16th November 2012 05:25 PM

Ayu released in her statement: "Work is work, private is private." And that's been her motto forever. It's really disappointing... I don't think I'm going to purchase this single/album(Whatever) just because it feels wrong. I don't like this direction which Ayu is going, it's scary. =/

I'm so disappointing, I'm really sad... :( Awww. I hate this feeling. I feel she's not the same person as before... it's a depressing feeling. =[

gogirlanime 16th November 2012 05:25 PM

too much like "LOVE" I hope all of the 5 mini album covers don't have the same colors and theme as the first two. I was really hoping for something totally different. Maybe I am complaining too much but LOVE was all pastel-y soft and pretty and same with this one, I hope the next release isn't like that I don't care if it's a story, it's boring.

If the next single cames out in anything between 6 months and 1 year, that's still her normal time when she is not on hiatus xD

lightningrod 16th November 2012 05:28 PM

Thanks for the info regarding Sakura Nagashi, sadly it sounds bland to me

ExodusUK 16th November 2012 05:30 PM

It just goes to show how different the are, Utada releases a classy nice ballad with no fuss while Ayu is doing all this business..hm.

but that is Hikki's style, she strives to be ordinary, girl next door, generic and low key (kinda why she had zero chance of ever making it here)

I like Ayu's over the topness and I am starting warm to these covers cuz just lol they are so ridic

relmy 16th November 2012 05:35 PM

I never get this whole Hikki being normal thing, she has famous parents in the industry and just as much promo as Ayu.

She has an EVANGELION tie in. How is that normal?!

Zeke. 16th November 2012 05:39 PM

This just gives me a bad feeling in my stomach. Seriously...? Her TA entry where she made the announcement said "I think this is the last time I will speak on this subject" and then two days later puts out an album cover with her lover...

First cover is not good at all - her hair looks like straw. Second cover is decent.

TeamAyu2004 16th November 2012 05:39 PM

^ you also have to understand that the covers were taken last week or two weeks ago...

i dont think normal is the right world...
Down to Earth... she was never really over the top in terms of promoting.
She might have HUGE ties in, but its not flashy.

ayuPanda 16th November 2012 05:41 PM

OMG I'm so in love with them *-*

Yes which makes it worse to me. The whole thing came about "tomorrow an article will be published about Maro and I in a weekly magazine! I want you guys to be the first to know" and it was made out to sound like Ayu wanted to make the announcement before some tabloid did without her consent. Then here she was all along planning to hawk this relationship as part of some spectacle in her career. I'm just getting tired of it - she's making a drama / reality show-type thing out of her life / career...

TeamAyu2004 16th November 2012 05:59 PM

I dont think so.
Maro is nothing new to her career... she has used him before in shoots, lives, PV's, and concerts...

the only difference this time is that she publicly said that she is now in love with him.
thats the only difference.
As for the TA... I get what she was doing... She is so open about things with her fans she probably thought that some would be hurt that they read it in a magazine before she told them. And she is soooo last minute, so they most likely knew about the article for a bit before finally announcing it.

Zeke. 16th November 2012 06:11 PM

You don't see every other artist using their significant other in so many products of theirs - they are seen kissing actors / actresses. This is just going way over the top and honestly it is becoming more and more of a joke. I can't believe what she is willing to do to her career. Yes it is her life, she has a right to date whoever but to make her career a musical version / real-life version of facebook is just ridiculous.

relmy 16th November 2012 06:15 PM

Exactly, Shu-ya was annoying, but it was all acting.

We all thought You & I was Maro filling that role, but it clearly wasn't. These covers are clearly related to it. How long as she been planning this? It all fits too well for a coincidence. Was it all going to be the same, but she wasn't going to tell us? I find that hard to believe with the timings of the news and the amount of images we suddenly have of them.
