We'll just have to see how this performs, but I think the sales could be boosted by Tohoshinki fans just because it's not Ayu but (Hero Kim) Jejung (Jaejoong) is going to appear on the "blossom" PV - that's why we think we might actually have the confidence that despite Kumi Koda competition, Ayu can get #1 for "crossroad" despite the covers, which it seems that I don't like...

i really hope that ayu would appear in the end of the PV, like Endless Sorrow. at least a glimpse will do, haha.

You know what really... Single covers are not meant to be works of art. They are just singles, and what's most important is the thing inside.
But I don't really understand why people don't like the covers this time.. They are pretty safe, and they're very pretty. Again, if the single art is a work of art, it's bonus, but that just doesn't happen most of the time... |

Probably because they don't fit the context of the music inside. They look like what the covers would be if Lady Dynamite were a single. For something like this I'd expect something like Free & Easy. But in my opinion, the covers are not bad. I like them! They're just weird considering what we're getting. It's not like when people were pissed because MOON/blossom didn't feature any moon or blossoms or how some people were pissed GREEN/Days was not green.

@jbrat: well people got their wish for being unpridictable. We haven't even heard ayus cover anyway. I think its quite alright

a couple people mentioned they would be good if used for other artists. Lol. Ayu can't be simple sometimes. Ah well~ can't escape standards. (P.s. I could explain a little how I think different ayu fans just operate but I'd rather not here) Ahhhh~~ I wanna hear a preview of ayus version of seven days war soooo bad. And an hq prebview of crossroad. This single won't be overshadowed by L for me. Totally. And I really am curious as we get closer about the crossroad pv. |

Exactly, nude photoshoot, retro covers on a ballad single... I don't want to hear the phrase "Ayumi Hamasaki is so predictable and boring" ever again LOL.

You don't have to have amazing covers to get a #1 anyway.

I'd have to say that while the covers aren't my favourite in terms of styling, they are pretty apt for the song, which really screams Ayu circa "For My Dear" era to me. I just went and youtube-ed "Seven Days War" and it has a really lovely melody, so I guess I'm also rather looking forward to this.
I'm just generally excited at the prospect of there being so much new Ayu music coming up within such a short span of time. |

tbh, I think it's interesting what a stark contrast the covers, which looks very futuristic, are to the actual songs inside, which are nostalgic-sounding. It may be stupid to some people, but I thought it's pretty interesting. It doesn't help that Ayu's working it on the covers either

Same here I think she should have done something exciting like this for her 10th anniversary.

honestly, they played good cards to try and make this single sell!
a pv with jaejoong, for all the fan girls a cover of an old 80s pop hit, the older audience popteen covers- high school girls or w/e lol i must say, goood marketing strategies. |
