Rock'n'Roll Circus - COVERS

[maze]

ahs scares me sometimes. lol xDDD

CD+DVD cover is growing on me so much just the title on her face
the CD Only one is still a big NO to me..

off-shot pictures are a lot better though imho -sigh-

[Faiza]

i'm really impressed by these covers, i didn't have much hope considering the recent string of fails but, go ayu!

i think i like the CD only one more, although her eyes are beautiful in CD+DVD

Newer fans are attracted by her newer music/videos/whatsoever, so it's understandable that they get excited by her recent music easier than those of us who love her past music. Also, we were used to her dramatic changes (esp her images), so sometimes we hope to see her making some bold statements instead of giving us something like sunrise/sunset.

Actually, I really liked Sunrise/Sunset (when it came to the music/PVs) as an old fan sooooo..... eh. I think I might just be an exception, haha. I came onto the fan-scene after &'s release, which was pretty amazing. It'd have been even crazier if I were actually a part of it during 2001/2002 when I listened to teddy bear / For My Dear, but... I don't think AHS was that big at the time and I wasn't interested in forums at 11/12, haha.

For me, a lot of the people I knew that frequented AHS from 2003-2007ish have left the forum for the most part. I think they just fell out of love with Ayu or moved on from listening to Ayu primarily and Ayu is just a bit of a distant memory.

I'm def not a "new" fan either, and I don't really think sunrise is that bad. The composition and to a certian extent the structure is very different from her past summer singles. I think people, new fans or old fans are too quick to label her songs when they don't like them or discard them simply because they have some reseblance to a song she relesed earlier (Which all of the songs she releases will have to a certain extent considering the enrmeous body of genres she's done already). I remember when talkin'2 myself came out and it got so much praise even if it's not really a ground breaking song in any way for ayu, and definitely not more so than sunrise is.

2001 - 2002 was definitely the craziest time in ayu world. And actually I think I started coming here in around 2002, but didn't register until a year later... because at that time some ayu fans were pretty aggressive (not in AHS, but in other places). I didn't bother to join any ayu world . Of course there are lots of people in out of ayu world throughout the years (and that applies to every artist). I bet a few years later there will be a bunch of 2007 - 2010ish ayu fans will be gone, and another generation of new fans will join AHS. I hope I will long live here... lol

Sunrise isn't that bad, but not good anywayz (IMO btw...). For me it has nothing to do with the resemblance. Rather it's quite a boring song, not getting me excited. The pv is quite boring as well...

Oh btw I'm not making a statement that old fans only love her old stuff. I do love some of her newer stuff as well. e.g., t2m (except the pv), Days, Sparkle, Curtain call, etc. It's just that I have passed the moment that I automatically love everything she releases. I guess that's normal.. rite?

Oh I expect less drama this time, because kaz doesn't direct the pvs lol (at least not the ones filmed in London).

lol it seems like even though ND Chow shot the covers, they have still stirred quite a drama... not gonna expect any less for me. This is AHS after all.

Yeah, I always think that the handful or two of older fans that have stuck around here while many others have left are probably the most hardcore of hardcore Ayu fans even if these days they are disappointed in her work, because after all they still stick around and are still ultimately supporting her.

I think the cd only covet is a little off. I think it's cuz of the cheap flash hitting in all the wrong spots. It would have been wiser to do that shot in a lighter area. The cd+dvd cover is awesome! I love it.

[Meat Pao]

OMG THE CD+DVD COVER IS AMAZING!!!

[SmokikiE]

CD+DVD cover is stunning!

[SmokikiE]

CD+DVD cover is stunning

[inspire_rmx]

tis is way earlier than i expected to c the covers. i am definitely liking the cd+dvd version. pure loves. i like they placed the album title on her cheeks. kinda cool and diff. definitely wayyyyyyyyyy better than NEXT LEVEL, and (miss)understood covers. i'm glad that the theme has nothin to do with circus. =)
i jus wish she would have use a full body shot for the cd only version. cos her outfit is so amazing. so it's kinda a waste.
p.s i have a feelin the limited box with have the same cover as cd+dvd

[Tony G]

NEXT LEVEL covers were awesome, better than these ones I think.

[HarukaKamiya]

I love the Unpleasable Fanbase and/or Broken Base that AHS is. XD

That aside, I love the covers. They were what I expected them to be. While the CD-only has a bit of an "I will stare into your SOUL" vibe, I still like it. <3

The only thing I ask of this album now is that I will instantly love it. ^^;

agree wichoo, for sure NL covers were way too better than these ones.

[Lady~Deviance]

Holy Snap, Crackle and Pop!!!!!!
Yours truly is lovin' the new covers. I truly dig the CD only but CD+DVD version is fierce. I love the natural facial expressions. I saw the covers on jpop-wiki and then came here to see what everyone's opinons were.

This really made my day.

[~*Mabushii*~]

Wow! I actually really like them! and I haven't been feeling much love for her album covers lately
