A Classical cover & tracklist

[Deep snow]

I was shocked upon seeing the cover, but I knew I shouldn't have been; the cover for her previous Classical album was just a glorified rendition of her MY STORY logo, so I suppose this is -kind of- expected. The image looks drawn (instead of just a Photoshopped picture of the LOVE cover), but probably because of the fact that it looks like a fanmade Photoshop that people, including myself, are disappointed.

As for the track list. Well. I really hate the fact that there are only 10 songs, but the songs aren't bad themselves. I'm actually really curious as to how they will turn out.

Maybe there's a hidden track? Maybe..

She was so stunning during this era. Extremely elegant.

Even though the cover is a special picture, did they have to use love's cover, its a nice cover but they could of used a different picture using what they did for this

I'm very disappointed with the tracklist. almost every song on there has an orchestra version or remix already. not to mention Song for u and Missing already had orchestra versions just released. I was really hoping for orchestra versions from Guilty and Next Level. very disappointing.

[TeamAyu2004]

These songs are not orchestra versions versions, they are classical...
in ayu-verse there is a difference.
Just listen to My Story classical to any of her other orchestra versions, they are completely different.

[truehappiness]

It could work. The only obstacle really is "ooo lunch time/sunset/Tuesday/Friday night/Saturday" and so on. I want to hear it since her upbeat tracks can make really interesting classical arrangements since they're not normally anywhere near that style at all.

[jyujiw]

I always imagine AHS as a war camp everytime something is announced.

[Yumsushi]

Don't know what I was expecting but I hope Love songs and missing will be awesome. Also maybe now when she sings 'oooh~ lunch time' I won't throw up in my mouth as much since there's an orchestra playing along and now it's supposed to be refined...

[Tony G]

Not sure that the orchestra versions are necessarily the classical compositions of these tracks. Listening to My Story Classical, there seems to be a difference in feel. So I'm thinking this will be 10 brand new tracks.

Although at 10 tracks, this is a bit light. She could have done without the newer songs, ESPECIALLY You & Me.

What about re-recorded vocals? I'm thinking that's a possibility and might explain why it's 10 tracks as a lot more work is going into the older songs.

[jyujiw]

I'm not expecting new vocals since the MY STORY CLASSICAL didn't have one, even that in that time she probably had more time to prepare the material.

I think/feel this release is just something to give her more time to prepare the next ones.

[Tony G]

MY STORY CLASSICAL came out a few months after the album, so there was no need to re-record the vocals.

SEASONS, M, and Dearest are likely to get vocal re-recordings. Possibly Voyage as well.

Surprised JEWEL isn't here. I thought that was an obvious inclusion.

I wouldn't be so certain, it is her 15th anniversary campaign after all. Plus her vocals from that period are just going to sound off next to Song 4 u and Missing.

[My Rainbow]

Imagine the tracklist with JEWEL and RAINBOW...

I wouldn't even care about the cover!
