really nice!

SunshineSlayer 24th August 2005 05:44 AM

I think it is purposely very simple and elegant with little makeup. I think they are trying to attract a more general audience with this single - not the people who are going to buy her singles no matter what the cover looks like.

With this being a movie tie in, this is Avex's perfect chance to get Ayumi to appeal to people who normally wouldn't buy her stuff because she is a "made up idol." This makes her come across as more of an "artist" to those people. Of course we've known all along that she is more than just a common idol but if Avex really wants her sales to boost, I think this is the right move.

nice and simple. ^^ clean.

Belinda 24th August 2005 06:46 AM

I always knew simple is best. Simply the best cover yet imo.

Jennie Mae 24th August 2005 07:01 AM

Wow, I actually gasped when I first saw this cover. It's beautiful.

hmm, i can't say i think that's the reason why the cover is as plain and simple as maybe that ayu wanted it like that. it's probably because she thinks the song is so bare, or just that it's such a vulnerable song for her, just natural beauty i guess (as a song). she has so much input on her final product that i think the cover ended up exactly like she wanted.
with all the cross promotion ayu does, i don't think she would need to have a simple cover to get attention, if anything, the more vibrant colors attract audiences. i was also thinking, the single looks like it would be really cheap, like 700yen, for like a two track single, along the lines of hikki's 'dareka', or kumi's 'flower'.

Qt Mashi 24th August 2005 11:54 AM

starr5245 24th August 2005 12:06 PM

Endlessoul 24th August 2005 12:07 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW~~I cant describe my feeling seeing this!soooooooooooo beauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutiful! It is just like the past but the purest and the eternal ayu I have ever seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!! :love

nanami606 24th August 2005 12:59 PM

lmao EndlessSoul. the past and purest and eternal. like Sailor Moon.

anyway. I LOVE LOVE the CD+DVD cover. Her eye looks glassy, like she'd be teary eyed looking up to the skies where HEaVEN lays. :P Ayu is cursing me yet again with the CD+DVD cover being way better than the CD one.

[H] 24th August 2005 03:47 PM

Thank yoU! both covers are very nice.. i really love the ayu looking up...

Larisa-chan 24th August 2005 03:54 PM

Whoa, Ayu's eye creeps me out in the looking-up version ;.;

ImpactBreaker 25th August 2005 12:16 AM

Oh the larger versions actually made me completely change my mind. The covers do look really cool, ayu's face is actually more visible.

mui-gei-tal 25th August 2005 04:35 AM

nice and simple.

brings out ayu's nice complextion!

indicatoto101 26th August 2005 03:16 AM

Deep snow 28th August 2005 12:12 PM

simplest simplicity, love that, thanks...

walking proud 28th August 2005 03:49 PM

ah~ i love grayscale, this is her best cover yet (in my opinion)

extepan 29th August 2005 06:02 AM

ummm this cover is definitely different from most of the other covers. the closest is a best. i think i am not going to say i like it until i see the real thing

Kazuko 1st September 2005 04:04 AM

It's nice. Could be better though. (IMO)

Rain_RuLez 1st September 2005 04:15 AM

Oh boy.. this better not be her last single... =(

No way!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyway, I like how simple the cover is! It's just so...simple and clean? XD for lack of better terminology. She should do more of this kind of cover.

Khanh-Le 1st September 2005 10:35 AM

oh my god!it is so small!
