"how beautiful you are" Jacket Released

[Aderianu]

^oh no %) I hope he will never come here

[Kanzaki]

Yes! Tim! He'll be our Ayu-insider!

[Aderianu]

don't want ayu's staff to see Downloads section %)

[pommy48]

Lol they'll be stupid to think we don't have one.

They already know about Ayu China always

And I'm sure...Dave(?) (do it again composer) saw it when he came by a while back.

[Aderianu]

^it's a shame anyway %)

[truehappiness]

I don't think he'd care about that anyway. He just wants feedback on the new releases and isn't around to patrol for Ayu/avex.

Cover is great, but the song itself is even better. it's so SO amazing! <3

[roanmy]

I hate her voice in this. It has become way too apparent that she struggles to sing. I thought she was getting vocal training now?

Anyway, I will probably get PQ since I have all her other albums, but I am glad I am getting the CD+DVD version this time, so I can listen to the previews first.

[ALfromHELLSING]

I really love her voice in this song. I can't wait to hear previews for other tracks.

[OyTony]

Does somebody know the two fonts on the cover? ^^

[isthisLOL?]

Whenever people say her voice is bad on this(or any FIVE song but progress) I just laugh by now. The ONE thing that can be 100% objectively said about her current era is that her vocals are much better than they have been from 2006-2010 and her vocal technique is the best of her career(she used to use completely wrong vocal technique, even in the eras she sounded good in, now she uses correct vocal technique)

Also, the song is up to #3 on iTunes, both the overall and J-Pop Charts. Just to compare: Madonna's new single is at #19 and she is getting lots of promotion on iTunes itself while Ayumi has a small thumbnail and is getting banner promo in the J-Pop category only.

actually...i kind of don't think timmy would join ahs.

sure, david reitz joined and posted here, but he isn't an avex employee. timmy actually works for ayu/avex and thus i don't think it would look good to them if he were posting on a forum where there are downloads. i think to avex it would be like taking part in something that hurts their business and they would not be happy about it.

I will find out who she is!!

Yeah I thought that. But if it were Elizabeth I that would work very well as a reference to Virgin Road and the queen's gentleness(compared to other monarchs of that time that is) and her love for art.
I guess it's someone random then though :/

Use it if you want!

This is lovely!! ^_^

AHS would probably be the first place he would come. Maybe he reads the forums but hasn't signed up yet?

And, since Timmy is under Ayu's wing, I would think he'd have more freedom to talk on her releases than a regular desk employee - Ayu's staff tend to do a lot of networking stuff. It'd be like them saying that Peco can't have a link to her CD on her blog because she's Ayu's backup dancer. I think Ayu's staff would have a lot of freedom, actually...

[RayJason]

Thanks for the edit kanzaki! It looks way better. And lol, Timmy might be joining AHS? Someone clean up the download section ASAP! lol no don't. (How are we sure that the guy was lucky to get his username to 'timwellard'? It might be a troll.) edit NEVER mind, he tweeted about it.

So is this ayu's 51's single?

[stivenoto]

Cant stop listening to How Beautiful You are

My new favorite songs.....
