I hope it is done right, because I can't conceive a situation where a dark blue snowy cover would work

I think dark blue snowy cover would work, I will be happy if she uses a color like this and stop using something pink, pastel or love color thing... I picture her in this cover with a beautiful white dress with diamonds in the middle of a forest full of snow.

I knew she'd pull a Taylor Swift and starting leaking lyrics

It's not like Taylor invented the concept.

[Maemi]

You were / BALLAD covers were beautiful, if she makes anything similar to that I'd be happy.

She used blue snowy photo for initial announcement as well a while ago.

ずっとずっと私だけの
恋でいて欲しいなんて
ワガママすぎかな
でもねきっと something something something

Something along the lines of. "The only thing I really wanted was love. I used to be so selfish."

It's super blurry, but I can just barely make out in the 4th line. "But surely..."

I think in this case, the 〜でいて in 恋でいて欲しい is used to represent an enduring state. Someone (in this case her 'love') is currently close to her and she wants (欲しい）this person that way forever (ずっとずっと). Nothing in her lyrics is in the past tense. She's asking if it's too selfish for her to want this person to stay with her, and love her, forever.

i really hope at least one of the songs won't be a sad ballad. She surelly can do uplifting ones as well. i hope we can get one like that. And well they deed to do a gorgeous arrangement on them.

[mi|kshake]

I love the cover photo on FB!

[Delicious n Bold]

Cheesy lyrics but they're ultimately relatable.

[Refix]

Can I have some emotional rock ballad with extra beat like Snowy Kiss or so, I love that song. Wish there will be a PV... a PV like Katy Perry Unconditionally...

Oh yes I'd die for it ! :O

The staying and loving forever is reminiscent of days. I think she is trying to recapture the success of that song. I'm nervous though cause usually when you try to blatantly imitate something like that from the past you can just hear how hard they tried and fails in comparison.

^lol vampire?because her lips are red? lol and that's how people get wrong impressions on covers untill you explain them... as simple as they might look xD

i am sure people wouldn't expect something like that from her, but i am in no doubt she'd go for studio set or typical fur winter type of thing as usually....*scraches head*
