^ I think his dramatic face expression worked for "BALLAD" PV but I didn't like it in stage performances during concerts (but gladly he's not part of team anymore).

I wonder if you guys noticed Ayu's new instagram icon:

Could it be the official cover for the new album?

!Lawi! · #**344** 20th May 2016, 04:36 PM

^Nah, she's changed it on most social networks but the cover is fanmade. I can't remember where it came from but definitely fanmade

However she posted the pamphlet cover AGAIN, are we sure it's not the album cover?

holy_arrow · #**345** 20th May 2016, 04:43 PM

maybe, She is waiting for your the best fanmade cover as the inspiration for the official one

kiseki · #**346** 20th May 2016, 04:44 PM

^ It's possible.

I'm hoping for more of a traditional Japanese album cover similar to Ayu-mi-x 4

aliceshields · #**347** 20th May 2016, 05:21 PM

I won't be surprised if she use 100% of the pamphlet photo................... Thou I hope not.

truehappiness · #**348** 20th May 2016, 09:31 PM

That has never happened in the past, but hey, anything is possible.

My problem is that he's pretty ugly.

I'm a bit shocked at this cause BALLAD PV is one of the few stuff where Shuya got the spotlight and I still enjoyed it

Usually I think he's a overdramatic, yes, but the PV was really enjoyable to me

Also some reactions were hilarious. I still remember when the PV was played in a spanish club or something and some people were like "chinese puta!". Do you guys remember?

OMG I remember that lol!!! I think the issue most people had with Sparkle was that it was poorly edited but the concept was and still is pretty awesome.

About the Ballad PV I think Its a masterpiece compared to anything from the Love songs trilogy even with Shuya's ugly mug.

Shula is so hot. He should have married ayu.

I find it unlikely that they would use the same cover... Maybe she's just promoting the tour?
The album pictures could come from the same photoshoot though... I just hope it's not the exact same pictures.

I'm not a big fan of the BALLAD PV but the scenes of Ayu in her "Heaven" were stunning. Whoever designed the set should design my bedroom.

I thought sparkle was fine. All I can remember is people complaining about how she sang it in Japan. And the other ones who have a problem were ones who go funny about sex and stuff

but that's probably because the idea for sparkle PV came from a porno if I remember the director's words

This is one of the song I can get non Japanese people to like straight away

Angel is very pretty. I would even say that I prefer that simplicity over dramatic Last minute. Last minute is boring.
Leilo may look low budget but I love her outfits and the effects.

Feel the love is a really good / well played video.

I dont really remember merry-go-round, but whatever.

She should not put her album development into the hands of Americans

I think they are generally fine, but colours could of turned out better if it was handled by her JP team.
Think of xoxo as ayu supporting a friend who did something tough

that how I explain her outfit and hair look in the pv

Not from his mouth but people found the original porno.

Shuya isn't ugly. Maybe your taste in men is a little different, but Shuya is beautiful to most of us. Overdramatic, sure. However, I love seeing him in Ayu's PVs and on stage with her. I just wish their performances weren't so corny.

Chibi-Chan · #**359** 21st May 2016, 11:20 PM

Shuya always was my favourite male dancer and I think he's hot as hell. His overdramstic acting works well on stage, since it's the purpose that people who are far away can somehow grasp his facial expressions. In PVs it's a little too much, but since I'm biased when it comes to Shuya, it never bothered me.

truehappiness · #**360** 22nd May 2016, 04:35 AM

Listening to a bunch of the tasuku interludes, I wonder if Ayu would ever do a tasuku x Ayu concept album and make them into full tracks.

So far tasuku's only full song for Ayu was fairyland and that was great.
