Not meaning to bring up unnecessary drama here, but this is a forum after all. If people are allowed to say that these covers are better than the M/b covers, they're also allowed to say that these covers are worse than the S/S covers. Of course it's different when you're an unstoppable whiner who does nothing but hate all over Ayu's works, but there'll always be someone who doesn't like something Ayu does every once in a while. If someone thinks of these covers as the beginning of the Ayu-pocalypse, that's their opinion, it may be drama, it may be complaining and overreacting but that's opinions for you. I frankly put thought of it as overreacting when everyone started to nearly bash people who thought of these covers as really bad, if you disagree with them so much why do you even bother talking to them?
My honest opinion: I don't like these covers. Not only because of the "magazine-shoot"-ish thing about them, or the way they don't fit the content, but because I just honestly think the clothes aren't all that impressive, the poses and expressions feel half-hearted and lame, and the general conception I get from these covers is some plain poster for an 80s disco; not a single from my big idol. And of course I'm going to bring up comparisons too, because defining good and bad is a lot about comparing; and I think these covers are nearly as bad as the S/S covers. There, I said it, the forbidden words. But it's my opinion and I'm not going to be quiet about it just because others think it makes me over-dramatic. It's plain truth from my heart.
And I do love Ayu and most of her works, but sometimes she has disappointed me, and she will keep doing it sometimes, but that's how it is. You can't make everyone happy all the time. Anyhow, despite the covers, I like the feeling I got from "crossroad" and I'm really excited for the single and especially the PVs now! The releases of the PVs and finally, the singles, are going to be epic for me!

I agree with everithing. To me, being a fan is not that I like everything Ayu does blindly, I think I'm smart enough to distinguish something that is wrong, and I personally think this covers are bad (and I'm entering my fourth year of Fine Arts in September so I think I can judge about this).

I disagree with people who always complain if they have no reasons, but if a person is able to argue why he like or dislike something he deserves respect.

i would agree that blossom is one of her best summer songs
and when i knew it wouldn't hv PV..arghh i'm so disappointed..
right now, she announced she would have..GOSHH I'm so HAPPY... and even happier to know my other fave idol on it..it's PERFECT for me~

anyway, CD Japan CD Real Time Ranking got all 4 of Ayu's Singles ON TOP!!
i wonder why..it's not the CD+DVD on TOP though, it's crossroad C instead the 1st, L is the 2nd, crossroad B the 3rd, crossroad A the 4th..
does that mean all ayu's fans cancel their CD+DVD then change into CD Only version C? XDDDDDDDD

Some comments are quite offending and there is not much respect. But they don't mind, they know they are right.
Peace.

I wouldn't call that overreacting, that's just an opinion. What LOLs me are the people that for some reason are able to predict Ayu's future in music based on the covers. That's just ridiculous.

i get what you mean. for us ayu fans who are familiar with her singing style, blossom is awesome. but for those who don't quite get adapted to ayu's song, it might be a normal up-beat song which is not as catchy as, maybe, July 1st or fairyland.

because ayu's vocal in blossom is a bit tired IMO. (and that may be explained in the "painful, moving story" of this PV

LOL so true. I woke up just a couple hours ago and while i was asleep like 6 pages were filled up.

[inspire_rmx]

i love the cd-dvd shot. it's rare to see a full body shot of Ayu for a single =) her outfit is cool too.

[Yoake]

Yep & Just because we have cover & info about one pv.

I agree. Few people are making dramas out of nothing. But more and more, when someone don't like something at all, he is just an hater, overreacting and so on. And then you may read a lot of post dedicated to bashing those people. That is just sad and the atmosphere gets worse for nothing.

If you love something, you will naturally hate parts of it. Smart negative opinions enable you to grow up and look at things in a different way. They are necessary, like the good ones.
Of course few people are hating everything again. But I think they are a minority.

Back to topic. Sorry

There are some pics here, i think it will air soon....

The covers for crossroad are horrendous. I don't care though, as long as I can enjoy her music.

Also, I have no idea if that was pointed out before, but maybe the reason for her 50th single being titled L is because this very letter equals 50 in roman numerology?

Pointed out a thousand times, in all the other threads. But it gets easily lost in the mess of posts, yeah.

[Keiichi_JPU]

I LOVE the song blossom, I think it's her best summer-song since Fairyland, and I also LOVE Crossroad covers, so people shouldn't state "the covers are horrible" or "blossom is a weak song" like it's a fact, because it's not

If Ayu read this thread, she'd feel terrible I think

[Gruwer]

Yeah, I just noticed after performing a search. I now know what to do before posting next time, haha.

I actually like the M/b covers. In fact i even hung up my lovely m/b b3 poster and I enjoy looking at it very much. Also i listen to the single quite a lot.

[waterballoon]

Ironically, M/b kinda bored me in terms of everything, which was why I'm so pumped for crossroad now~

[freedreamer]

blossom is a really bittersweet song..it has that feeling of MY ALL+fairyland all in one..
I really hope the plot wont be typical but SINCE ISHII (aka my king director of Ballad PLOT PVs) is directing it, i expect a shocking twist to it..

damn i really wanna hear crossroad in HQ already...the a-nation rip is really powerful and emotional.

this single is gonna be big because of blossom HAHA

It's okay to state your opinion, but don't attact other people.
I knew AHS people would react negative on this news Seeing all the hate for other Ayu x Toho stuff, so it's no really a surprise or hurts me anymore. I just hope people will like blossom PV or at least will give the PV a chance Most of the time prejudices turn out to be wrong

Here we go, you know you're like the 10th fan girl who claims to know what I like or dislike. I usually don't listen to people I totally dislike -> http://www.last.fm/user/njanjayrp/ch...ubtype=artists
And that just because I said something even remotely negative about them You could say I dislike the majority of their fan base though. The part you quoted was a joke which sadly isn't baseless.
