Maybe you got used to the other ones? Or did you not like MW's concept to begin with? There were some people that sorta hated it from the start..

No, the alternative cover is just ugly and makes Ayu look stupid imo.
Edit: WOOPS just saw your HQ stuff...ok ok its better than the YOU cover. <3

Lol, truehappiness...what are we ever to do with you? I just looked at this topic and read through many pages, and right from the get-go it was completely obvious that your favorite was MW's (actually from the front page even) and that you loved it to death. I knew as soon as someone said they didn't like MW's too much, you just were going to have to reply. Maybe I'm taking this out of context here, and if I am I'll shut up, but it really seems like, through all the threads I see you in, the main reason you have 16,392 posts is because you can't stand it when someone disagrees with you and you feel the need to reply to all of them and start discussions until you can get them to see 'your' side. Did you see ayu-cake's response?

I know this particular example doesn't seem like much (no big deal, right?), but you do this in literally every thread. Find all threads with your name in them, and there's about a 50% chance there's drama centered around you because you are trying to make someone see your way about something. Ayu-cake just didn't like the MW one - thought it didn't look good. It's not because he/she was "used to the other ones", lol. Or that he/she "didn't like the MW concept to begin with" and was "one of those people who sorta hated it from the start". You get what I'm saying here? I know your response to this, if there is one, will probably have something along the lines of "This is a forum, we are here to discuss" in it, as your response usually seems to have that when someone calls you out like this. And I get that. I totally do. But come on, man, you need to sometimes pull back and relax a little, let people have differing opinions. This forum would have a whole lot less drama if you would just cut your 'attacks' in half maybe, only try and make people see your way every once in awhile instead of all the time. Please? Pretty please?

Anyway, I'm just saying.
*prays he didn't just start a war*

P.S: Oh, and by the way, to everyone in this thread, "publicity" and "advertising" kind of go hand-in-hand, anyway. GRACE wasn't really wrong.

I have a lot of posts because.. I don't know why. It really just added up after my first few years here, to the release of MY STORY with a few thousand -> (miss)understood -> Secret... where I became most active with Secret, what with all the overflowing sources of information and stuff. I'd slowed down posting since there was a lack of anything to really talk about in the months leading up to now [MW and onward was like.. nothing.] but now there's a LOT to talk about. If you didn't notice, I didn't really argue with ~ayu-cake~ not liking it, since I understood that she just didn't like it. I mean, there are always going to be people that dislike things [i.e Life].. I just wanted to know why. The 10th anniversary thread was pretty much the place where I was like "Wow, you guys. Wow. -weird look-" since no one really had any well-supported answers until TakaSama posted [who lives in Japan.]~ I think that perhaps.. that was the one place where I sort of just "attacked" everyone and it did seem like that, but it's not like many people agreed with me, so it was just like an "Okay, why this? Why that? How come? Why? But why do you think that?"-fest. It's just something I do when I post, I guess, since it's obvious to me that I do it often, but eh. If I wasn't so passionate about Ayu, I wouldn't have such a strong opinion, but tbh, if I say something like "LOL Y DONT U LYKE DIS", no one is obligated to respond. No one has to say something back, as there are plenty of cases in which people ask questions and are ignored on this forum. I mean, I could just not post anything at all and really just forget about AHS... actually that sounds like a really good idea right now. Like. Not posting anything at AHS anymore. (A few threads in the last week or two are not all the threads I've ever posted in, you know.)

Back to the topic at hand, I'd say that the new covers will be fantastic in that they'll be like.. new interpretations of older material that we're so used to seeing. Stuff like CAROLS, A, M, and evolution... maybe even glitter! We're like "Oh, that's the cover." But what's this? There's MORE? I'm sure that many fans will dislike the new covers that we'll get in the photobook, but there's probably a reason for that. I mean, we're so used to these older covers that these new ones just aren't as good. But given that, there are those of use who sorta wanted to see something fresh / different with the covers.. perhaps it'll show who was fine with the covers to begin with and who really hated the covers chosen to use? [case in point: STEP you or something..]

-TEXT BLOCK!-

[ayuzlove]

thanks for the covers...interesting expressions ayu have

(A few threads in the last week or two are not all the threads I've ever posted in, you know.)

Lol, well actually I was about to applaud you for taking the time to read my post and respond in a mature manner. Not that I thought you weren't going to, I was just hoping you would, and you did. Seriously, thank you for that. Buttt then I got to the end of your post, with your lame "I should just not post at AHS at all!"-stuff. Come on. No one has said that (that I know of). Like I said above, I just want you to be more aware of what you say/your actions, and try not to literally question everybody's opinion on anything & everything at all in this forum. You know, be more relaxed - laid back. It's like, we all know you're Ayu's #1 fan, () (i.e: How passionate you are about her as an artist), but just be more aware and try to hold back some of those urges you have to question everything and everybody.

But, you did just state that you are aware, mostly, of what I'm talking about here, so that's good. You're aware that you just seem to do that when you post. Well, better than not being aware of it at all, right? So since you do realize it, maybe it won't happen as much anymore. I mean obviously it's just in your personality - you seem to be a go-get'er, and definitely a questioner, as in, you definitely want people to back up what they believe with 'good' reasons. The problem is, not everybody will agree on what's a good reason, and what's not a good reason, heheh.
Also, "(A few threads in the last week or two are not all the threads I've ever posted in, you know.)", while I realize that, you have to be a bit more realistic. It hasn't just been 'a few threads in the past 2 weeks'. I'll admit I haven't been here nearly as long as you or the majority of other people (My first post was in the AyuReady downloads section: 26th November 2007, 01:48 AM - yes I actually just found it, haha. But in the post I say that I've been following the forum anonymously for about 9 months, so I guess estimated ~ 1 1/2 years maybe 2. Whatever), but still, even though it hasn't been that long, I've still seen countless threads where at least somewhere in them, you and someone else are kind of arguing (maybe more like a debate, but not a healthy one ). And, if I read it all, it seemed to usually be because you just couldn't stand someone's opinion being different than yours so you had to try and make them see yours. But I'm just starting to repeat myself here, so I'll shut up. Point is, come on now, it's been more than just a couple threads in the past couple weeks, lol.

But you do realize it all and I think you and I are both okay, right? No, I don't want you to leave AHS. So please don't. Actually this conversation has been pretty good, don't you think? Oh, and by the way, I realized my "you have a lot of posts"-thing above could be taken kind of ass-ish, sorry about that! I made it sound like I didn't even realize a lot of your posts are actually posting NEWS to us here, and other stuff like that. I thank you for all of that See you around.
