Alright, exceeded my expectations already...but like others have said, how many different classical versions of these songs do we need?

For those who complain about the recycled cover: you guys know that she does that because MY STORY Classical had the MY STORY cover as the actual cover, just put through a filter (no, the key was just the slip case, not the actual cover). That's why she used LOVE's cover for A Classical and the Zutto.../Last minute/Walk cover for LOVE CLASSICS. It's always a recent cover redrawn.

MY STORY Classical and MY STORY using the "same" covers makes more sense because they're both related projects (with the exception of A song is born). A Classical had nothing to do with LOVE (even if Missing is on the tracklist) and so is LOVE CLASSICS with Zutto.../Last minute/Walk.

I feel like this version of Voyage is going to be wicked popular for weddings (which is probably what she was going for, lbr). But they've done it justice. I dread/don't know what to expect from HONEY x Hallelujah.

Reposting (although I shouldn't bother cause I know the inevitable "What do you think about the A CLASSICAL cover and preview of Voyage?" Thread will pop up in the Chat-Room section any minute now):

The cover is butt. Hardly looks like Ayu. But I think it's due to that awkward facial expression. Also, her face is too pointy.

Regarding the track, it's lovely. I think it may be the best version of Voyage yet. For some reason, Voyage has always been rather annoying. But this softens it up quite a bit and makes it sound enjoyable.

LOL THEY DID IT AGAIN WITH THE COVER, but i really like this one, it's not just usual pencil drawing, they could have though used an outtake from that photoshoot, one that we didn't see yet instead. But it looks nice. And Voyage sounds lovelly ♥
Also i am not sure if the graphic artist was high on something or they just got lucky but the fonts look nice too. Maybe because typography itself is so small, that's why it doesn't bother me..?lol

I didn't think they could make those Zutto covers look good but this is just beautiful.

GORGEOUS. I loved it so much more than I thought I would. Something about it so just so pretty to me.

And I love the cover. I just can't deny that delicate prettiness.

Honestly, everytime I listen to one of those classic versions of Voyage it sounds exactly the same to me.

For those who complain the cover, if you can't draw better than this cover, you should not complain. It is not easy to draw a good painting.

This cover is good and the pink flowers bring the spring feeling

^ to answer to that, people are free to dislike and notice mistakes if there are any, even if they cannot draw better. It's opinions and as a person who tends to do realistic portraits i can tell you that sometimes (if not a ot of the times) those who have no clue about drawing, notice things that those who do might have missed. There is really nothing wrong with that. Actual professional artists, they tend to be well rounded and confident enough to take some people's critique the right way, if it's not pure hateful stuff, then i really see no harm in that. Especially if they have established their career already and have a decent pay for they stuff. And saying what you'e said there...Then none of us are qualified to disslike or compain about any of Ayu's songs or pretty much anything anyone does, because i doubt we can do better than that.
In the case of face looking off in this, like Zeke pointed out, i can tell that the picture itself that Aki used to do this from might be a problem. I've had issues like that before drawing people from professional pics. It can be a pain in the ass. It's not a natural day light, nor drawing from RL and the photos can get weird angles not to mention all the editing/retouching that they do these days.

the cover was really fascinating and well drawn, and i think, it's really suit with the album. Let's just wait for the album, okay.
