New album 'Love songs' & Ayu-produced single 'Dream ON' 12/22 [VIII]

I feel like the kumi fans are defending ayu doing a cover album because kumi did one.

anyway...the PVs are OK. I hold such contempt for Avex anymore and their stupid marketing tactics.

Kumi did not invent cover albums. They have been around for years, and not all of them are "fail" nor do they take any credit or artistry away from the artist themselves. No one has to "defend" Ayu doing a cover album.

E for effort though!

Between this sort of nonsense and splitting B-sides/remixes between different editions of singles, they make me SO MAD. Also, in this case, making the photobook only available if you buy the most insanely expensive version of the album--and really, making it so horribly expensive in the first place. It's crazy!

I guess they're trying to compensate for naturally dropping record sales, but honestly, what a d**k move.

Was there really any need for that comment? It's just a sly dig at Koda Kumi fans. :/ I used her as an example because:

- She's another Avex singer

- A popular singer people will know

- A good example how a cover album can go really well

- Plus, she recently released it so, it popped in my head straightaway.

C'mon guys, just because it's Kuu doesn't mean there has to be disagreements. Love or hate her, she's another singer, she will be mentioned - get over it already.

Yes, please...no more Kumi arguments. Many a decent thread has been derailed this way...
