A Classical cover & tracklist

[ExodusUK]

This is bullsh-- but predictable. February release already plz and just let it be the AT DVD because that's something they can't **** up too much.

An album of songs we already have like 10 variations/remixes/versions of each or are new and could have just been included as a remix/track on the next mini-album/single/whatever.

My old post:

I think it's extremely likely we may get a logo for a cover. However, there is still a small chance we could get a photoshoot just for this since it's for a leading-up-to-the-15th anniversary celebration.

Well, we got something between that, I guess? I also said a logo was most likely but instead we got a (very good) drawing of a recent cover. Don't know if anyone could have called that since she's never had an illustrated cover of herself before, just on a CD with Rule, I think? I won't let it bother me too much (at all, really) because I really liked LOVE's covers and this is probably going to be standard if she does Classical albums in the future.

As I didn't expected to have Ayu on the A classical cover, I don't mind to get this cover.
As the tracklist is the outcome of poll I'm not surprised. I'm sure, even if TA member knew that it was for this kind of album, we'll get the same result.
I'm waiting to hear BLUE BIRD & Love songs.

Also, as Avex wanted to use a drawing as the cover, I think it would be cool if they made a contest " Draw a Classical cover" & took the best one. Unfortunately, they never have this kind of idea.

maybe I got too excited and then i let myself down... really I think I would have been 100% happy if I woke up and saw evolution on there.

Suuuuuuuuch a great opportunity missed.

Why didn't they just tell us what we were voting for.

I do like the cover though.

Do you guys think the Ayu of 10 years ago would like the Ayu of today?

Oh my gosh you have no idea how many times I've asked myself this question. I'm kind of leaning towards no...but who knows?

[channy]

Gawd, these days you even have to pay for your so called "gifts". I'm going to download this "gift" and grant it some free space on my HDDs. That's what I do. Yes. Will do that. Like. Yea. Truly will.

Such a long discussion.

I didn't like the tracklist either the cover itself.
Tracklist is just a pure japanese selection, which turns out to be a unnexpressive and not exciting one. I'm still quite surprise that we have Love song there. Hoping for that.

And the cover, well, I was expecting just the logo in a classical version, I would find more exciting and well made than using the cover of LOVE reshaped.
I still think there's no excuses, MY STORY CLASSICAL, ok, you can use that, but A CLASSICAL, there's no real relation with the release of LOVE to begin with, in a point of using the same cover.

Oh well, I won't fed the drama of "AYU IS NOW *******, WHY AM I STILL HERE, SHE'S SUCH A ********** LAZY STUPID PERSON HOW I HATE HER NOWADAYS SHE SHOULD RETIRE HERSELF" just because we're in a forum of fans, people tend to forget this sometimes.

I would like to see her changing some things here and there, but I love her no matter what. I will just wait for the next 2 releases, she already impressed me so much recently.

[truehappiness]

What we really want to know is why she's giving up on that. That's all we really want to know.

I don't think she's giving up on anything, you just need to wait and see with Ayu. I think she's done a bit less (maybe a lot) experimenting in the last few years for whatever reason but she'll eventually go back to being her usual genre-bending self. Maybe she's taken the last few years to get those ballads and mediums out of her system because I remember there was a period of time not too long ago when all people wanted from her were ballads and no more 'rockish' tracks. If 'again' is a sign of things to come, I think the future looks just fine.

Oh and about the "WHY IS THERE NO SINGLESSSSSS" thing, she may have been hinting that L was her last release. She said if she had to give it a Japanese title, it would be "Saigo no toride / さいごの砦" or "The last fortress". Almost as if she decided from there that she would only be doing minis/albums post-L. We'll see if she releases a single next year or the year after that but after two years, I don't know....

I expected that tracklist. The cover is huge joke though...

I'm only excited for Love song class. ver.
And maybe M/SEASONS a little. I think Dearest/Voyage might be not so changed, cause their arragments are very minimalistic (Voyage itself is kinda "classical" in original)

Keep in mind in Ayu-speak "classical" means "full orchestra", and "full orchestra" means "big". The most minimalistic the song, the bigger changes we can expect.

[ExodusUK]

lol at people thinking Ayu has rerecorded vocals for this, Ayu's voice isn't here for that.

If Ayu still have that rumored 2nd CD for Party Queen, she must release it behind that title, i'll buy lots of copies just to spread her words for the world xD

Yes I am very ****ing crazy over this release and frustrated/angry, and I have good reason to be.

I think all of my posts today have had "****ing" in them.

But TA2004, I think you still want me anyway. LOL

Calm the hell down. Bad Wolf obviously wasn't serious.

People need to leave the computer, breathe, and realise Ayu is a music artist and not a life or death matter. We all have more important things to disagree over I'm sure, so can we keep disagreements to a polite tone at least? Might be asking a bit much, but a girl can try.

[jbrat2219]

I am definitely going to wait to hear the album before I decide to buy. I'm not a big fan of the tracklist at all but I know these songs have great potential to turn out beautifully! I'm definitely happy about Love song and Days.
