I love NEXT LEVEL singles (Rule, Sparkle, GREEN and Days

)
but the album tracks are not relly good for me (i only like NEXT LEVEL and Energize)

Mari-chan · #**322** 4th February 2012, 08:54 PM

I really love Curtain Call and Rollin! I don't think Next Level a bad album. Only song I really can't stand is Love'n'hate. And I mostly don't matter the interludes.. at any album.
So.. I like Next Level.

can we get covers soon please T_T I know it's early but I'm dyiinngggggg hehe XP

^It'll probably be at least a few weeks before we see the covers.
I'm hoping for something better than the "London" Rock'n'Roll Circus
covers. Not that they were bad, they just weren't worth a trip to London
to make. I want to see her standing with Big Ben in the background or something, lol

The trip to London was because she wanted to record there, and the fact that she did the PVs/cover shoots there was probably because she was there already. She tends to do this a lot when she goes overseas.

She's had a lot of on-location album shoots recently compared to older albums. (ASFXX to MY STORY were all in a studio/indoor location, (miss)understood/GUILTY/Love songs/Rock'n'Roll Circus were all shot outside AND overseas.)

I think her better covers (and photos in general) tend to be taken in a photo studio for some reason.

Some of em was taken overseas/outdoor and she looks like she was cut/paste on the backround so what is the point of making em XD (glitter/fated, Sunrise) Was fairyland cover taken on the beach somewhere abroad? Cause it still looks like taken in a studio

the only photos I mainly like taken somewhere outdoor and oversees are from calendars.

If you check out the fairyland PV making of you'll see it was shot in Hawaii during the time they were shooting the video.

I remember when I was talking with tasuku on Twitter, a few people jumped in and started spamming him with suggestions for task-related song titles. I wonder if taskebab was one of them XD

thats what I meant, they were taken outdoor but for me they look studio-ish, cause of photoshop propably. They over-do these photos all the time.

truehappiness · #**330** 4th February 2012, 11:24 PM

Lots of post production for the fairyland covers. They were taken when it was relatively bright and sunny outside and somehow they ended up with a sunset-ish huge to them. Also surprising is that Shimoko took those photos, I think? The same goes for BLUE BIRD's cover, as I think it was shot on the pile of pillows on the boat featured in the PV.

Interesting that for most of the summer singles since fairyland, she shot the covers in the area she shot the PVs (Hawaii, Guam, Hong Kong) but then for Sunrise/Sunset the PVs were done in Japan while the covers were in Bali. I wish they had just done the covers in some studio in Japan, lol.

with a name like Party Queen, I really hope the covers are like Sparkle

a hot cover with her mouth open,looking fierce

jyujiw · #**332** 5th February 2012, 01:27 AM

^
Or maybe something like her rimmel london campaign of 2010 winter, she's so cute in there, though it's kinda girlish and I'm expecting something fierce xD

PS: try to wake up listening Bridge to the sky+NEXT LEVEL, it's magical to me, always make me smile =)

attractive nausea · #**333** 5th February 2012, 01:46 AM

^^ I think it was said the album covers were shot in a field or something (i'm not sure though but i believe i've read it here) so idk if we're going to get something ~fierce~, i was thinking of something more natural like love songs, but well maybe i'm wrong, ayu can still surprise us (:
^ awww it must be so magical to wake up listening to bridge to the sky and next level *a*

pepper · #**334** 5th February 2012, 01:50 AM

I would love something abstract to her usual covers. NL was kinda like that, but not in the best quality she good give (Ok, i really like the cover, but the booklet is the worst booklet ever... Tacky and cheep.) When you said 'field' I imagine her on very big, empty field in her pink hair doing weird pose, in weird clothes <3 that would be fierce xD something like GUILTY ~extreme edition~ xD

Well, when Ryan Chan and Leslie Kee were waiting on location for the shoot, they were in a very grassy area.

My thoughts exactly. But without the leopard dress, lol

jyujiw · #**337** 5th February 2012, 03:43 AM

Party On Green for a cover would be very weird imo xD

Anyway, I love her hair in the next level booklet, its so unnusual even seeming kinda cheap =B
A grassy area, PVs in clubs, Party Queen... it's gonna be quite a different release huahuahua

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #**338** 5th February 2012, 03:53 AM

why is there not a page for the life and style book on amazon.co.jp or CDJ? I don't get it...

YUKARI · #**339** 5th February 2012, 05:13 AM

^ I wonder too..
I hope they'll add it soon

I hope it's like that too! It's called 'Party Queen' so I don't want anything where she looks too cute...party queens are fierce and HOT, not kawaii.
