Kinda hard to see, but it looks like it will be beautiful. :D

WOOOOOWWWW
this is so good! so classy!

can't wait for a bigger pic :luv2

That is gorgeous! I love the dress! <3

finally...a pretty photoshoot <3 hopefully her lips and eyes won't spoil this amazing cover :P

It's so beautiful ! *.*

Pretty :heart You can't really see her face yet but the set and her dress look beautiful. Even the font looks nice imo~

you know, it's a shame this single is not a physical release!!! I would buy it no doubt! gorgeous cover, beautiful song! avex ARE U STUPID :thud

:luv2 :luv2 :luv2

I really like it <3

Bring on the full song & PV now xD

Looks really nice, can't wait to see slightly bigger picture. :)

It looks so nice. Hope we will get a bigger version soon. =)

Oooh how pretty! Shame this won't be a physical release, looks like one of her best single covers in years!

I hope it still looks as pretty when it's bigger.

I can't wait to see a bigger cover, it looks gorgeous!

yes definitely one of her best single covers in years. compared to all those covers with virtually NO BACKGROUND...wow..this one is gold

Wow, it looks amazing. really detailed and classy.

OMG!!!!! It's amazing!!!

hope to see bigger version.
ayu's too hard to see from this small one.
why not make it a bit clearer? hmm

but i like it though, the background./
it's been long time we don't see her having a cover that has setting at the back.

such a beautiful cover.... :D

it looks good so far.

are we cursed or something. amazing concept, beautiful cover and yet, its just a digital release. lol. *crossingfingersalbumcoverwillbebeautifulaswell*

WHY OH WHY CAN'T THIS BE A PHYSICAL SINGLE RELEASE!? that cover looks OMG amazing and its kind of a shame it's only for a digital single.

What a pretty cover!

Ayu and I share something in common now - my nanny always liked taking photos of us grandkids on ladders :P

That purple dress really is something - can't wait to see the HQ. Pity it's not a real single - Together When... also had a lovely cover. My brain is currently screaming "WAI DO YOO YOUSE NISE COVAHS ON NON-FIZICAL SINGULZZZ?!?"

Gives off a great prelude to the PQ covers ^^

Why isn't this the cover of a physical single??

can't wait to see a bigger version!
i was just listening to Memorial Address, and this cover totally reminds me of it.

OMG! i want a physical release for this cover! why do her digital single covers always look amazing!?@@!

Looks good, looking forward to seeing a larger version. I'm hoping there's pics like this in the album somewhere, like the booklet.

I wonder how people can say something. You see nothing, this is really too tiny!

OMG I LOVE THE COVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:heart

+1

I also thought about Memorial address!!

looks beauuuuutiful!! love it! wanna see it in HQ

Finally a different cover style! WoW. hope the close up is good too.

Hopefully the album will look as good if not better

Maybe, just maybe, we'll get this picture in the photobook or album booklet. Remember TW... and the GUILTY photobook, didn't it include the same photoshoot?

good point! i think some of these shots will be in the album booklet or maybe the extra photobook!:yes

i hope if we get the HQ cover...it doesn't end up with fish lip :) LOL

WOW!!!!!!!!
A good start of 2012...
can't wait for bigger version...

if so, the album photoshoot is very promising :D

absolutelly stunning, tho they could have placed the text in a little different way, it covers the beautifulness, BUT THEY DID IT!

maybe we'll have more pics from this photoshoot in the album booklet~

dammmmnnn girl *.*

it actually reminds me a lot of something that you would have made!

maybe after leslie got done turning your picture black & white he decided to steal some of your ideas? hahaha! totally kidding, no conspiracy theories here!

I doubt they would have made that kind of setting and everything for the photoshoot if it was only to be the cover of a digital single. This is really beautiful :luv2

GORGEOUS!!

Very nice cover. ^_^ Reminds me a little bit of a 2012 take on "Moments."

Beautiful *0*~

I'd love to see the comments on ayu's lips after seeing the bigger cover.

very beautiful!
hope to see same concept in Party Queen

Oh my gosh, this is soooo beautiful <3

pretty cover for ugly song..or maybe ugly vocal in cdl... we'll see the studio version. everytime she sings "how beautiful you are", the tone and her accent is like zzz. bad chorus

It looks good and fits the theme! :D :3

Very pretty. Love the dress and the rustic touch. And the 15/16th century picture on the wall behind her :laugh This cover has a nice and beautiful feel to it. Can't wait to see a HQ version.

this looks like a really nice picture... too bad it would be a physical thing!

Gorgeous cover :luv2 even if it's soo tiny lol. And why is it for a digital release? :weep I hope they will include it on the photobook.
I'm looking forward the bigger version so bad :D

Thanks a lot for sharing!

it looks stunning!! kinda Love songs-ish.

Really really nice! Kind of reminds me of Memorial address, actually. Can't wait for a bigger version, this does look really classy and pretty.

Wow. I didn't really expect such a gorgeous cover.

I hope we will get a bigger version soon, because the cover looks absolutely GORGEOUS!! :smitten

Without doubt one of her best cover since a long time!


Now I've some hope that the new album will have a great cover too!

A decent Ayumi Hamasaki cover? First one in a while :)

I think it looks beautiful.

But I wonder if PQ will in fact have similar shots within the photobook... I mean I guess I'm picturing PQ to be NL inspired, haha. Kind of sexy, bright, etc. Where as this is like, gorgeous, luxe, etc.

I like all the anticipation. First time in a while. :P

Apparantly, the single will be available on iTunes too ::

...or did I misunderstand ?

Seems to be a good cover, after a long time!
I need a bigger version!

^ oh! yes it is!
that's why we've got a cover!

I like it! From what I can see right now, anyway. Hope a larger version will be released soon.
Why can't it be a physical single? :( I can only hope that the Party Queen booklet will have similar pictures.

That picture is total gooooorg!! :heart
She looks like her 2004 self. Love it!~
Too bad I don't like the song itself too much though.

i'm crossing my finger :thud

hopefully NO fish lips when we see larger version.. :P

so far so good

Stunning, gorgeous, flawless, beautiful~ I love it. HQ version please :laugh

If we will have this kinda series in the album, maybe the photobook that's sold separately is worth buying :P

And yeah, no more fish lips pls!! ^^"

It looks so great!!

It does looks beautiful :love

It seems like she's finally started
making not horrible covers again!
I was beginning to worry when she released the "L" cover...

shall leave my comments when there's a bigger version but thus far it looks promising.

my thoughts as well! :yes

hm...it's just OK for me. Gotta wait for HQ

just beautiful! :heart

It is small but it looks very beautiful :yes.

haha, there's always gotta be somebody... :innocent

So far it looks great!!

But yeah, I need to see her face properly :P

amazing *o* love it

Seems like to be a really beautiful cover. Hope we can see the HQ soon.

Looks awesome to so far! Can't wait for HQ! :D

LOLOLOL

I am indeed very scared by fish lips!!

^ it looks pretty while it's small! but I'm scared about her lips there, will tell after the bigger version is released :)

Looks good there... But -

Is it just me, or does she look like Mariko Shinoda in some way...?

how beautiful this cover is, YESSSS.

It will be on iTunes. They added PC options recently it seems. YAYAYAYAYAYA.

Mariko Shinoda looks like Ayumi but less beautiful lol
The cover is very good to =)

Do you think they'll also release the PV ? Or will we have to wait for the album?

We'll probably get this PV first. It'll likely pop up on one of those entertainment news programs before being aired on MTV/SSTV and uploaded as a short version on YouTube.

I actually love the cover!!!!!

will this be internationally available on itunes?

Reminds me of the cover of 'Moments'. I really like it!

Reminds me of Kuu's calendar page :luv2

It all looks so beautiful, so hopefully she's not making a stupid face *_* *fingers crossed*

Judging from Happening Here's release, no. Japanese iTunes only.

Oh I see, I hoped we could have it on Wednesday, along witht he song :)

beautiful, as usual! :love can't wait for the bigger cover.

+1

i tweeted the same thing at twitter :D

:luv2:luv2:luv2

I like the vacant stare or doll-like expression (fish lips included, of course) so I hope it is something like that.

Plus, I don't know about all countries but, Ayu's discography isn't on the US iTunes store now.

awww so sweet~

Im not a fan of when they put the text like that, but meh.

Yeah, it's been that way for a while now. I think some kind of agreement may have happened? It disappeared when iTunes Match started up so it may have something to do with that. Anyone with iTunes Match are probably to be able to access her songs (and even other artists' who don't have ANY songs on the iTunes store) with the service.

lol maybe that's why i won't have an urge to make it into somethign different because I think they nailed it this time. The setting is really gorgeous. Tho as I said I would change the font and placement of it...

haha, well if that would be the case i wouldn't mind >D i mean as soon as it makes Ayu look better xD
