A Classical cover & tracklist

[sitara]

OH LOL!!! wtf is this?!?

worst decision ever? i don't expect this to chart very well. tracklist seems very lazy (i guess because of the time constraints?) aaah, i can't~

[sanzo2011]

WTF? You & me? seriously? where's JEWEL???!!! i'm just too disappointed now!~~!

[Midori-chan]

Really? I was looking forward to this album so much, because I love "My Story ~Classical~", but I'll certainly not buy this one.
The tracklist is boring and the cover is a bad joke. It seems to be an illustration and it's beautiful...but still, couldn't the artist draw a new picture of Ayu and not the cover of "LOVE"?

AVEX needs to get their ***** together, because Ayu's latest releases are not fun at all anymore.

LOVE cover edited by a fan?(?) Bad decision, too expensive and the tracklist is too short but... let's wait.

LOVE cover redrawn by a Japanese artist. I don't catch any names in the description but they do mention an illustrator. Usually Ayu drawings tend to be kind of off but this one is really photorealistic.

And about the tracklist, I think TeamAyu just didn't know what they were getting into since no one knew what that poll was for.

the tracklist is fine with me...
but the cover.... hmmm... i don't like it.... >.<
i don't understand why avex choose this concept for A CLASSICAL album.

IMO .... MY STORY Classical cover is way better than this one ... >.<a

[truehappiness]

I think it's partly because MY STORY Classical's 'actual' cover was a repurposed MY STORY cover? Though this one for A Classical is made from scratch and that one was just edited in a program.

why they have to use LOVE cover again on A CLASSICAL..WHYYY~~~ even though it's drawn by an artist still..can they have different pose?? so we can see varieties...
and the tracklist... sigh...

[spanishfan]

I'll wait till listening to the songs to say if it's crap or not... All I can say is that I don't like the use the same cover as LOVE and that I hope every song have new arrangement, even Song 4 U and Missing...

[freedreamer]

why?..why??..i dont get it...what is avex doing?? seriously??

and fans voted for THESE songs? I think they feel rather scammed seeing how Missing and Song 4 u have orchestra remixes and then now they were misled into the A CLASSICAL business..

[truehappiness]

Personally, I think the album will probably be fantastic since these songs have not had studio full orchestra treatments but due to the weird fan-favorite nature of the album (they say it's an ALL TIME BEST of sorts), people are going to hate the tracklist at first glance... or at every glance since it could've been a bit more varied.

Just so no one is confused, TA voted for these songs:
M
Love song
SEASONS
BLUE BIRD
Days
Voyage
Dearest

And these three were put in because they were 'new' or something:
You & Me
Song 4 u
Missing

avex shouldn't really be blamed for anything other than the last three since her fanclub had the other slots in their hands... they just didn't know what they were voting for at the time. The tracklist isn't really 'lazy', but this is what happens when you ask fans what their favorites are and only give them one choice per fan. If you asked overseas fans, it'd probably be WILDLY different but then again, that's almost always the case.

Also, I feel like people should know that the 'Orchestra versions' on her singles/minis are NOT the same as full orchestrated classical versions. Normally those just contain piano and a set of strings or acoustic guitar. For example, the Song 4 u and Missing remixes on LOVE are probably not a good indicator of what the "Classical" versions will sound like.

[YUKARI]

songs, better be excellent. if not, I won't buy it. enough. it's just enough. I tried to support ayu, but now I seriously don't want to buy it. or may be I shall wait till April when the purpose of serial codes be revealed. anyways, this is hude disappointment to me.

[ayumint]

OMG just only 10 tracks??? but all 10 songs are my favourite lol
and um ...I have seen Pixiver drawn a lot of amazing pics, why they don't drow ayu in their own style??

Anyways, I'm not going to buy this since its annoucement. B b Bye Bye~

[HTMSD]

.......... I'm going to buy HK version only I guess....
tracklist and cover is... sucks =="

I've already had again and LOVE Japan version, I hope the serial number didn't affect the versions I've had T__T

[x-megumi-x]

lol I was waiting for the cover and the tracklist to decide if I should buy it or not.
The cover is not that bad, but it looks cheap and it's kind of lazy to use the LOVE picture again. And the tracklist is boring as hell... I definitely won't be spending 30€ in this mess.

[AyUmIXx]

ok fine...will just wait to hear the tracklists... cover... never minddddddd~

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Well, I do appreciate the effort the artist had for making such a really good photorealistic drawing. But as for a cover it's disappointing and the tracklist does seem pretty boring. I hope avex is just trolling us for now. Or the orchestral versions should be very epic.

[YuriChan]

Meh... I'm content.

[alternarist]

i dont mind the tracklist but the cover... its a joke right? at least pull off a LOVEppears album cover and "appears" single cover?

EDIT: its official. its on ayu's official webpage now.
