New slow ballad 'Hello new me' for Zoku Saigo Kara Nibanme no Koi - Page 10

chocopockymaster · #**181** 6th May 2014, 11:26 PM

So I guess this is going to be her third digital single? The release pattern is practically the same as HBYA...makes sense, since they were the theme songs for the same drama. I like the cover, I like her facial expression, but it's not what I want from the upcoming album. Still, if there are leftovers from the shoot, I hope they surface someday!

The cover looks lovely. Text style is something to be desired. Can't wait for the release!

When I seen it this morning I didn't believe it but now with the mu-mo announcement...OMG !! I'm so happy ! This cover is perfect (Alvin Goh?) and I'm hopeful for the new album !!

Yeah, I seriously don't understand so many of her team's design decisions. Is it really that hard to pick a font that doesn't look so blah and figure out a color and placement that actually works?

Dear Ayu-staff,

For reference, please see Kuu's SUMMER TRIP covers. Font selection/placement/etc is not rocket science, I promise.

Love, Ayu fans everywhere.

LOL cover and LOL font. The cover remind me the booklet of Guilty and the booklet of LOVE. But the song is happy

She's never looked better, shame the song is such a borefest. But gorgeous cover nonetheless!

Actually, it should have had something in common. HBYA cover is from the shoot that was originally made for Party Queen artwork (the SUPER AYU photobook, with Ayu as a purple queen).

By the was, I agree with you about the font. Sometimes, the whole design calls for a minimalistic font, but with Ayu's artwork, it became a little bit systematic xD
They totally should make an official contest someday, for an album / single / DVD cover...

Oh man I didn't even notice till you just pointed it out. They must have just blurred it out. I don't know why she would get it removed

Now that you mention it...hah. Although they did such an awful job of photoshopping it, if you adjust the contrast you can see the outline of where her tattoo would be.

Font fail, photoshop fail...I'm so surprised! (said no one ever.)

hidekirby · #**193** 7th May 2014, 12:50 AM

Makes me think of SEASONS.

truehappiness · #**194** 7th May 2014, 01:02 AM

They probably should have left it textless.

With "digital single covers", they usually don't put much effort into them. I mean we usually just get some old textless image (early releases for progress/Song 4 u/Sparkle), the "A" logo, or something leftover from another shoot with a random font on it. Pray was probably the 'best' one IMO.

I do wonder if this is the vision for the new album or if it's just some shot from a future Numero Tokyo shoot or something.

cosmicfirefly · #**195** 7th May 2014, 01:17 AM

I really like the cover, though not the font, but I'm guessing Ayu checks all that before it's released? So she must have liked it. I'm excited for the song release! I loved the preview.

I hope so! That tattoo is awful! But they may have just removed it for the photoshoot. She looks better without it.

freedreamer · #**197** 7th May 2014, 01:54 AM

omg wow! felt like that photo was from Duty/I am... era LOL

ExodusUK · #**198** 7th May 2014, 02:32 AM

Uh what do you guys want from text on a album or single cover? It does the job and she hasn't really had amazing typography for like 10 years now.

agree . its a shame

they could have done better with this kind of beautiful photoshoot of ayu ( i really wanna see more pics or the off shoot from that photoshoot) .as for the song sounds like something that have been heard before .sounds cute but very plain .... still love ayu though gorgeous as always
it feels like avex is not putting as much effort as they use to when it comes to ayu

Well that picture was from the photoshoot that was supposed to be for Party Queen and later was released as SUPER AYU...
