I agree
At least ayu had long hair and it looked hot
The last time ayaka looked hot was in The beginning's booklet
Damn the way she worked those shoes and jeans (were they jeans? I forget but it was hot)

Also if the music is meh at best except for that one cover so far then what exactly is she focusing on? I really hope this just flops and its oricon ranking is N/A so ayaka will learn a valuable lesson. AI Otsuka flopped and now she's making the best album of her career.

I don't understand what's happening to her. She sold out with nijiiro and now she has fugly covers. Ayaka you are not the person I once knew. That or you're melting down. At least her meltdown was so amazing that she graced us with the flaw free album cover as seen in my signature.

She's not under Warner anymore & The beginning was the 1st release under her own independent label

I don't know if it's a budget issue but it's evident things have been different since she left Warner

I kind of regret buying the CD + DVD of The beginning as I don't really have any use regarding the DVD :x

Aside from the singles beautiful / Chiisana Ashiato , number one & Nijiiro , PVs were also made for album tracks Arigatou no Wa , No end & Zutto Taisetsu na Kimochi

Arigatou no Wa music video was released back in 2013 though. Therefore, 'No end' and 'Zutto Taisetsu na Kimochi' are the new PVs that we are expecting to see (we have a preview of 'No end' as of now).

And, besides, I think I already posted that... (see here under the 'Three CDs + DVD' section, but then again Karen did 'mute' me.

No End making

No end in music box mode

I gave the album previews a listen and the album feels so disjoint. It feels like the album is basically before and after beautiful, with a bit of leeway. That or you can say before any after nijiiro. I forget which song it was but it was a nice piano song and I wish I could have heard more of it before it cut off. Maybe if I play the album constantly it'll grow on me. Maybe.

The album sounds more interesting than the beginning to me, which I got over pretty fast.
yes, the covers are strange and her smile is just bad...but on another note - she is not really good looking. actually I always thought she looks kinda off - she is not ugly or anything... i just don't find her that pretty and that haircut isn't helping.

I always thought she was hot with long hair tbh.

MUSIC STATION's Twitter said that ayaka & Fukuyama Masaharu are newly added to next Fri's artistes lineup

Yeah, I miss her long hair, too. :(

Full PV of No end

This song, beautiful, and through the ages makes me forget that this messy album happened. Oh and whatever the first song is called. Number one? It's a cute lil affair.

No end do deserves to get a PV as I feel the song's really funky despite it being under 3 mins

Somewhat ironic that there're mainly upclose shots of ayaka during the PV , maybe it's to take away the fact that she's expecting ?

Hopefully the other 2 PVs from Rainbow Road will be aired soon

Under three minutes is quite short, it's not often you hear that. We're more familiar with four to five minutes here in Japan, while the Americans are more familiar with ~three minutes...not so common here in Japan.

I think 3 minutes is good, it makes you want to come back for more. All we need now is the song in HQ.

OH SERIOUSLY. Ayaka opens up Ameblo?!

(click image above to go to Ayaka's Ameblo)

I mean...I don't understand about this. I didn't expect this to happen - Ayaka opening up an Ameba blog - this wasn't part of my agenda - but here's the possible reason why:

If you're wondering what Ownd is, I think Ameba has been recently developing a new web site hosting service allowing users to create their own website. Hmm...


EDIT 4/5: Turns out the Ameblo that Ayaka opened up is temporary, similar to what Ayu did back in fall of 2013 and BoA last fall (2014). Here's the story:
