love the song. absolutely LOATH the cover. it looks like a drawing on the back of a randon manga. why can't Avex just invent a new A logo to fit this, like they did with My Story Classical?

My impression of this release (both cover and song) thus far is as follows: pretty, but boring and easily forgettable. It feels weird to say it, but for me the only good part about "Voyage [Pachelbel's Canon]" is the classical piece, it feels like I could cut away all traces of Voyage and the song would be just as interesting - and I don't think that's the point of a mash-up. But then again, it wouldn't surprise me if this track was only included for the sake of drawing in casual fans and thus ended up half-assed, and it may be that the album as a whole will be great.
But for now, I will remain quite pessimistic.

I...kind of like the cover. It's still disappointing that it's not a new photo (I don't understand the appeal of this IMO), but the illustration is good.
Meanwhile, the mashup sounds amazing. AMAZING. Wow I wonder what the others sound like. |

Also, according to avex, the key one is the official cover http://avex.jp/ayu/discography/detail.php?id=1003385. (But who can trust avex anymore, am I right) |

Edit: They did something similar for the first press of Love songs. The 'official' cover is printed on the slip case, and then an alternate cover is printed on the cover of the booklet that's inside the jewel case. Last edited by chocopockymaster; 11th January 2015 at 10:16 PM. |

i really like the album cover drawing, too bad it looks unfinished w random photoshop stuff splashed onto it.
as for the song, ayu's classical mixes were never interesting to me, so it does nothing for me. will give every track a listen and a fair chance though, hopefully i will be pleasantly surprised |

Ayu has NEVER had a remix/reversion album with a new photo of her on the cover EXCEPT for the ayu-mi-x/RMX WORKS series. I don't know why this stuff surprises or disappoints anyone.
ayu-ro mix used a "poker face" era promo photo (that was in a gazillion magazines and her official website) on the front, and a "WHATEVER" promo photo on the disc/back. ayu trance used a screencap from a Tu-Ka CM. ayu-ro mix 2 DID NOTHING SPECIAL AT ALL aside from embossing with gold foil. It was seriously JUST the Super Eurobeat logo and ayu's logo and the title in freaking Times New Roman. ayu trance 2 didn't have her at all, just the CG ayu trance logo floating around or whatever. MY STORY Classical and A Classical have been covered already. I'm not saying some of these weren't cheap halfassed moves, I'm just saying maybe some of you guys have your expectations set a teensy bit high. The cover art was always going to be a rehashed image of Ayu. If you like the art style, then yeah seriously just be happy it's at least pretty, and be happy someone put SOME work into the art (ayu-ro mix 2 STILL pisses me off 14 years later lol).

I'm not surprised by how well this mashup turned out. I mean they took out the original orchestra music, and replaced it with other orchestra music. Not exactly ballsy. I don't even really know if this is a mashup. I mean it's an orchestra version of Voyage with a small background sample of famous orchestra music that kind of loops. It's not a replacement, it's a supplement. I do like it, and I do look forward to this release, but I'm really not surprised. Imagine taking out the guitar and drums in GAME and replacing them with different guitars and drums. It's not that crazy.

They actually did more than just add a filter to the image. You can see the design with her hair and arm.

Does anyone knows what kind of method they used for the art cover? I would also like to do something similar to it. I guess, it's a real art drawing cover instead of using Photoshop this time for 'LOVE CLASSICS' album.
If so, who is the art credit belongs to? Last edited by あーちゃん; 13th January 2015 at 05:25 PM. |

If not, then I might be able to ask my younger sister to do it for me since she's herself is a genius illustration. It will be worth it. Hopefully. @Kanariyatachi Thank you for replying. Last edited by あーちゃん; 14th January 2015 at 12:51 AM. |
