..... This is so weird... isn't crossroad... a ballad???? SDW definitely sounds like a ballad... Why in the hell does she look like that on the cover? Not that I don't like the covers but... it's soooo.... confusing. What is going on?

NOOOOOOOOOO

W-Why? o.O :laugh


@StrawbariSnowAyumi: I love how you're always too optimistic :laugh It's kinda trying to force people to change your mind, you know. Yes, being boring can be bad. Personally I wanted covers to be more... hmmm... exciting? But hey, it's Ayu, she has had bad covers before and probably she's going to have some in the future. So I don't bother at all. I wanted to express my opinion though. ;) The most important is what's inside, right? So I can't wait to hear full hq version of crossroad and finally to get that SDW original to hear *still waits for video to load*

^^LOL, why are you against blossom being up there? XD

また、CD+DVDには「crossroad」のvideo clipとmaking clipに加え、「blossom」のvideo clipを満を持して収録！実写video clipとしては初めてayuが出演しないものとなっており、超人気アーティストのジェジュンを主演に起用 ！迫真の演技で魅せる、切なく泣けるストーリーは必見！！


Google translation:

In addition, CD + DVD is "crossroad" in addition to making clip and video clip, "blossom" of the recorded video clip to the long-awaited! Ayu is the first live-action video clip has become a thing does not appear, the appointed starring Jae-hot artist! Attractive in convincing performance, sad tearjerker to be missed! !


.......What? XDDD

Live action? XDD
Jejung??

It's a joke...?

lol everyone wants something unpredictable from ayu...not that it doesnt match the "theme" of the single it just not right and too weird.

im cool with it. i think its fine. plus we havent even heard the whole single yet :P

I have to agree on these covers not being the best, and they sure don't represent the song at all. I wonder why they chose a shoot like this? Oh well. Not that the pictures are bad, they would be great for a magazine shoot, just not for this CD single.
What exactly does a live action PV mean? >.> Aren't all of her PV's live action? (except Connected)
Who/what is Jae-hot? That translation is very confusing, lol.
[edit] OK so here's a Bing transaltion that makes a little bit more sense.
So I guess Ayu will not appear in the PV for blossom, it will be like a tragedy PV, like fated, but without Ayu in it? That's what it seems to me.

I honestly have no problems with the covers it's just... I don't know... weird! Two ballads and then two different orchestra mixes on a single does not equal Hot Retro Disco Dancing Ayu to me. But hey, no one can say she's predictable now.

YES! PV FOR BLOSSOM! :luv2


...But OMG I almost got an heart attack reading Google translation from Kagome-chan's post. "Jae-hot"? ...I'm thinking too much, really.

"実写" can be defined as "on-the-spot filming or photography." So on-location? Probably referring to the trip she took overseas earlier this year.

lol I'm sorry but I don't understand japanese..so..I don't know anything XDD

I don't like this "does not appear" °_°
I don't want a PV without Ayu °_°

Eh? London?

^We've already had one... it was the Connected PV. and then she only appeared at the end of the Endless Sorrow one.

The covers aren't bad. They're not my faves, but they're not horrible either. They're actually different than what I was expecting! I think it makes sense that they have a similar "look" as Moon/blossom though, since she's doing these three in close succession to one another. I do hope the L covers are a bit more different and special though! I'm really looking forward to them.

Google Translation ftl. I get the gist of what the article is saying though... so it's basically gonna be another "fated"?


(btw, does someone wanna make the new thread or should I? XD)

I know but we're been waiting for this PV since a lot of time...so I don't want a PV without her XD

I guess this is one of those things I'm going to have to trust Ayu on because blossom is badass, crossroad (based on the LQ fan recording) is my new favorite... I'm sure she'll jazz up this old as hell sounding SEVEN DAYS WAR. I'm looking forward to blossom PV etc... I guess I'm okay with all this. Covers are still weird as hell though!

no hun, i dont mean to force anything. i was just saying many people treat boring as always a bad quality when they dont like a cover but when they do like a cover the same creative level "boring" i suppose it means boring isnt actually so bad. and not every "boring" cover is bad like some people here imply. :) is all. i usually only state things and express my observations. not trying to convert anyone to a point or side. or to like these. just some observing that doesnt have to do with making someone like a cover. thats different.

and the music is always more important to me. i can hate the covers. but i just want a good song. covers arent the end of a career lol.

(its funny cuz my family always says how negative i am haha~)

The original TV-aired version of "Endless sorrow" didn't include Ayu at all, except the posters. The addition of Ayu at the end (for "A clips vol. 2") in my opinion ruined the entire mood of the video. I didn't buy it anymore.... Ayu was supposed to sorta be the remnant of a lost era in that PV's universe. Her showing up at the end made no sense.

I'm totally happy with another PV without ayu... hopefully they don't ruin it by adding her as an afterthought later.

I like these covers better than MOON/blossom actually n____n

I think it's a nice change! Something different! I like <3

^
^the tv version was the only version I saw for the longest time. I think I remember arguing with someone about it lol. "ayu is in the video! she's in the end!" Me: "No she's not!" I didn't know there was a tv and a dvd version. lol I sort of agree with you though, but maybe they were trying to say "not all is lost" or something along the lines of that.
