Not meaning to bring up unnecessary drama here, but this is a forum after all. If people are allowed to say that these covers are better than the M/b covers, they're also allowed to say that these covers are worse than the S/S covers. Of course it's different when you're an unstoppable whiner who does nothing but hate all over Ayu's works, but there'll always be someone who doesn't like something Ayu does every once in a while. If someone thinks of these covers as the beginning of the Ayu-pocalypse, that's their opinion, it may be drama, it may be complaining and overreacting but that's opinions for you. I frankly put thought of it as overreacting when everyone started to nearly bash people who thought of these covers as really bad, if you disagree with them so much why do you even bother talking to them?
My honest opinion: I don't like these covers. Not only because of the "magazine-shoot"-ish thing about them, or the way they don't fit the content, but because I just honestly think the clothes aren't all that impressive, the poses and expressions feel half-hearted and lame, and the general conception I get from these covers is some plain poster for an 80s disco; not a single from my big idol. And of course I'm going to bring up comparisons too, because defining good and bad is a lot about comparing; and I think these covers are nearly as bad as the S/S covers. There, I said it, the forbidden words. But it's my opinion and I'm not going to be quiet about it just because others think it makes me over-dramatic. It's plain truth from my heart.
And I do love Ayu and most of her works, but sometimes she has disappointed me, and she will keep doing it sometimes, but that's how it is. You can't make everyone happy all the time. Anyhow, despite the covers, I like the feeling I got from "crossroad" and I'm really excited for the single and especially the PVs now! :D The releases of the PVs and finally, the singles, are going to be epic for me!

I find these covers just awful. But hey, I'm overreacting! Because if I don't like this one I don't like any covers. I even don't like ayu! What a simple way to see things...
Some comments are quite offending and there is not much respect. But they don't mind, they know they are right.
Peace. :no

I wouldn't call that overreacting, that's just an opinion. What LOLs me are the people that for some reason are able to predict Ayu's future in music based on the covers. That's just ridiculous.

The covers for crossroad are horrendous. I don't care though, as long as I can enjoy her music.

Also, I have no idea if that was pointed out before, but maybe the reason for her 50th single being titled L is because this very letter equals 50 in roman numerology?

I LOVE the song blossom, I think it's her best summer-song since Fairyland, and I also LOVE Crossroad covers, so people shouldn't state "the covers are horrible" or "blossom is a weak song" like it's a fact, because it's not :)

If Ayu read this thread, she'd feel terrible I think :laugh

It's okay to state your opinion, but don't attact other people.
I knew AHS people would react negative on this news :laugh Seeing all the hate for other Ayu x Toho stuff, so it's no really a surprise or hurts me anymore. I just hope people will like blossom PV or at least will give the PV a chance :yes Most of the time prejudices turn out to be wrong :innocent
