toniayu 13th September 2010 10:00 AM

OMG O________O

dayumi 13th September 2010 10:01 AM

LOVE LOVE LOVE, J'adore!

jiarongisme 13th September 2010 10:02 AM

I lol'd when I see the covers.

Well, Ayu is pretty and all but omg the mask XD

Tasked 13th September 2010 10:03 AM

FINALLY!! Something that is both good AND refreshing!! Thank you Ayu, these are great!!

toniayu 13th September 2010 10:03 AM

about the special packing...the cd+dvd editions will haven't long case D:
about the covers...are nice,but nothing special u____________________________u

PEARL 13th September 2010 10:07 AM

SUPERRRRRRRRRRRR NICEEEEEEE AHHHHHHHHHHH AYUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

y_nathz 13th September 2010 10:09 AM

Those are nice lol I like the mask idea xD
Thank you~

Polyrhythm 13th September 2010 10:09 AM

Much better than crossroad and MOON/blossom covers.....but not all that different if you consider the background. Its nice but just another ok cover. In a weird way, this reminds me of:

x-megumi-x 13th September 2010 10:09 AM

The covers are amazing! O_O So much better than the crossroad ones <3
Too bad I pre-ordered the edition with the cover I like the least >.<

Mr. Goto 13th September 2010 10:11 AM

^
^YES LOL i instantly thought of misono :laugh

Polyrhythm 13th September 2010 10:17 AM

On a side note, that ugly font has been around wayyy too long. Covers would have been better....if she lost that horrid tutu....and yes as in literally. As with all the covers in this "trilogy" though....everything has a fan-made sort of feeling. Pretty good covers....again going to stress this. Too bad theyre just not the mind-blowing, 50th anniversary single covers we'd all hoped for.....but expectations are always too high i guess

Yoake 13th September 2010 10:19 AM

OMG :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2 :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2 :luv2:luv2:luv2

Maybe her best covers.
OMg there are great!!!

fuawas 13th September 2010 10:20 AM

I love them! :luv2:luv2:luv2
I reminds me of misono's cover, but Ayu's are more classy.

It looks like a very amateur job. IDK how I feel about them yet, they might grow on me.

Calico 13th September 2010 10:25 AM

Well that was unexpected.

I was expecting something with a bit more POP. But whatever, they're nice.

brand new love 13th September 2010 10:27 AM

omg...

ownsarai 13th September 2010 10:27 AM

I happen to think they are beautiful and artistic. I love them. Cannot wait to see them in HQ. The whole mask thing reminds me of ourselves.

dayumi 13th September 2010 10:28 AM

I love the simplicity of it, nothing too much but still beautiful! I like the mask idea.

hidekirby 13th September 2010 10:28 AM

The concept is far from being original but they are quite nice!
I like the skirt and the colors.
Love both CD only version.

But... her facial expression ruins it a bit (again) :headache

Thank you!
I'm glad there is no long slipcase, I found them quite cheap in fact.

edit: I'm a bit tired by bland studio backdrops... This cover shot in a theater would have been thousand times better.

jeffycue 13th September 2010 10:28 AM

lol... what's up with the hair. fugly.

lakrits 13th September 2010 10:33 AM

OMG those are so beautiful! Those are the best covers in a long time imo!!

PoetGirl 13th September 2010 10:34 AM

I would love to say amazing but... I dont like hairstyle and for the concept of the photos I dont like her expression. I hate when I have to say something bothers me >_<
This single had to be special :(

well, Ill get used to it

miroro 13th September 2010 10:35 AM

cd only are the best covers:heart
cd+dvd are nice too, but i'm not feeling them yet

i quite agree with you on the plain background.lucky this time,the main focus(ayu) is way better than the one in crossroad cover :P

SmokikiE 13th September 2010 10:42 AM

WOW!

I'm just so glad I pre-ordered Jacket C...
Because I totally dislike Jactket D

Anyway, finally the covers are out, so I can decide which CD+DVD
jacket I want to pre-order! :D

PEARL 13th September 2010 10:42 AM

Ayu's do not have deformed breast like misono lol.
& ayu's is way more classy

Taki 13th September 2010 10:55 AM

Awesome covers
wish these masks will be first press bonuses :love

Polyrhythm 13th September 2010 10:55 AM

^^hence the need for spoilers.....

tokyoxjapanxfan 13th September 2010 10:57 AM

I instantly thought of misono...

the thing that bothers me is like, the way she's holding the masks.

iunno, they're a bit awkward to me :(

I think if it was like, an actual mask, like, masquarade style and feathery and pretty it'd be way, way better. (visually, atleast. i guess there's some sort of message here--but still.)

and also, the "special package" is gone?! that was one of the things i was really looking forward to T_T

dulceku 13th September 2010 10:57 AM

I really like the top left one.
What I realized about latest Ayu's covers since MOON is the lack of a real BG...just gradient or plain white. But L covers are the best IMO :) I think the lack of a BG gives it a nice look.
Also, at 1st I thought the mask was a bit creepy ºwº'

Mai82Go 13th September 2010 10:58 AM

They are weird but have a certain charme....

This.
They remind me of misono's cover... but Ayu's are better xD

emi♡ 13th September 2010 11:00 AM

ugh omg

I can only see the misono cover when looking at them...It was the first thing I saw, and it's the only thing I think of when I see them.

I'm sorry, but anytime you put real people's faces on masks...ITS FREAKY okay?

Im gonna need time for these because...misono's covers are like the worst thing on earth...and ayu doing like the main concept of it...is just :no

omg lol

Yeah, the hair is really bad...ruins it...reminds me of the girl from The Animal, you know that really bad movie with Rob Schneider?...yeah...but I guess they're okay...

god she could have actually copied misono and went nude or something...so I guess they're not a trainwreck.

the covers are very cute,my favorite is Jacket B ♥

bluegie 13th September 2010 11:06 AM

That covers are quite stunning.. even tho the concept is not original.

tokyoxjapanxfan 13th September 2010 11:07 AM

is the "L" font supposed to be gold?

like Amuro's "break it" covers--they're beige/brown on the internet, but the first press versions had the text being metallic gold.

i hope it's metallic... :-\ haha

ayumisrael 13th September 2010 11:07 AM

Thank you!!

Virgin road, Sweet Season and Last angel all sounds interesting *_*

I know xD Maybe I didn't explain well haha
And I totally agree, 10/10 :heart

joshohhhhh 13th September 2010 11:09 AM

yesss! the third cover is my favorite and is the one i ordered. :D i really like them! i can't tell if her hair is short or if it's pulled into a bun (i think it's the latter).

bluegie 13th September 2010 11:10 AM

how come Last Angel is the first song of the third cover?
and a remix of SEVEN DAYS WAR is set as the first song for the 4th cover... weird...

emi♡ 13th September 2010 11:12 AM

Interesting about SEVEN DAYS WAR...

maybe there will be an album version?

ayumisrael 13th September 2010 11:12 AM

They will have to fix it probably, there also need to be a crossroad TK acoustic version on the 2nd cd only version. XD

Mai82Go 13th September 2010 11:13 AM

The more I look at them, the more I like the covers. I like ballerina-Ayu and hope maybe there will be a PV with a ballerina and freaky clowns or something. For the titles, I don't know. Cannot judge before I actually listen to the songs. First time I see song titles I hardly like them, they always sound weird to me.

PoetGirl 13th September 2010 11:14 AM

third cover is the best. dress saves it

ayumei 13th September 2010 11:20 AM

hope they can upload the new flash~~
wait the big pic

Ayu_no_tenshi 13th September 2010 11:23 AM

love the covers!

~Tsubasa~ 13th September 2010 11:25 AM

Wow!!!!! The covers are beautiful!!!!! And I loooooooooove the tracklist!!!!
It would be cool if there was also a PV for Last angel!!

They would make more sense if they were switched, imo.

I'm kinda worried because all the songs sound like medium/regular ballad titles, but I guess we'll see.

toniayu 13th September 2010 11:29 AM

is the same font as MOON/blossom? O______o

dayumi 13th September 2010 11:33 AM

I love the 2nd CD+DVD ver. and the 1st CD ver. :luv2. but all of them are stunning!

Lee^ChaN 13th September 2010 11:33 AM

Innocent looks
but i don't like her hair

I'd wait to hear Ayu's version before saying that, maybe becomes one of her best songs, you never know :S

Mario 13th September 2010 11:44 AM

I like the photos, the outfit, the hair and the concept, but not fond of those lips xDDD It's indeed an improvement from crossroad's covers!! I'm sure they'll look even better in HQ!!

Lanz16 13th September 2010 11:45 AM

The covers looks very "theatrical" :)
I like it!

sanzo2011 13th September 2010 11:59 AM

Good but not great covers ! the worst cover in all her tripple A-side singles !

I never really understood the idea that people have that cover songs are not as good as new songs.

A cover song imo can reflect just as much about an artist as a new track...sometimes even more, because it shows off their creativity.

I would love another version of SEVEN DAYS WAR...

in any case, we all know how Ayu is when it comes to albums...we'd most likely either have an album vers of seven days war or nothing at all :/

AyuGAME 13th September 2010 12:04 PM

i like it...
but the mask is so creepy...

she looks so beautiful

my fav is the last cd only version...
the placement of the font and overall croping position is the best...

about the tracklist

Sweet seasons - i think this one is the song for Sweet magz... i think Sweet heart is better title...hahaha...

Virgin Road - i smell a strong rockish song for this one...

Last angel - maybe another dark techno song...

OVERALL :
SO EXCITED!!!

On the contrary, I've been influenced to think that Last angel may be an upbeat track because of Koda's LAST ANGEL lol.

TITANIC 13th September 2010 12:19 PM

Well, I hate plain backkground. at least metallic effect or some effect like RAINBOW would be nice. I really love the idea and Ayu looks cool but I hate 030

TheBaronAndAyu 13th September 2010 12:24 PM

Not bad. Not the best Ayu cover ever, but the best of the three in the project. Lips and plain background kinda annoy me but Ayu herself looks cute. For me it's :
L > MOON/blossom > crossroad

And the mask reminded me of Misono's cover so much :P

AyUmIXx 13th September 2010 12:32 PM

WOWWW finally it's out!
Ayu looks like a ballerina!
I love it...
and the tracklists! lol..
sweet season, virgin road haha..and last angel?!?! same with Kuu's single before lol~

extepan 13th September 2010 12:35 PM

love the covers. but the song titles sound a little un-ayu. i am looking forward to listening to the songs.

petitepiper 13th September 2010 12:39 PM

Love it!! <3

amorphose 13th September 2010 12:39 PM

The covers are nice and as long as they aren't all ballads and midtempo songs, I'm sure the single will be great!

TheBaronAndAyu 13th September 2010 12:41 PM

For some reason, Last angel reminds me of Last Window and Hotel Dusk (its Japanese name was Wish Room: Angel's Memory) :D

Virgin Road sounds interesting as well

SunshineSlayer 13th September 2010 12:44 PM

I LOVE the concept, but her facial expression is just not good.

AyUmIXx 13th September 2010 12:45 PM

I think i'm kinda annoyed with her fish lips lately..haha..
but she still looks pretty..but i need her to less doing the fish lips for the next next next singles.. or photoshoots... it's enough! LOL~

kendelle 13th September 2010 12:46 PM

I like the lower left cover the best, but these covers lack a wow factor for me.

They do have potential but the fish lips kill it for me ;_; Oh well, at least the mask doesn't have them too! lol

Cherry Dynamite 13th September 2010 12:47 PM

I like the covers.

elvesword 13th September 2010 12:47 PM

I love the covers~!!!!!!!!!!AMAZING!!

freedreamer 13th September 2010 12:47 PM

omg it came all together!

Hahah Ayu sure loves the word road. Virgin Road just JUMPED out at me. Once again, I think the covers are so not gonna reflect the songs in it hahaha. I think Virgin Road is a rock track. and considering how much time she has to do 2 PVs is already really good.. I just hope Sweet Seasons'PV is not low budget. I like how the CD tracklists got creative too :)

Hopefully we'll get Last angel's PV in the album :)

True. We have winding road, crossroad and Virgin Road

Ranma Matsuri 13th September 2010 12:59 PM

*sigh* Covers get a resounding 'meh' from me. Nothing grabs me at all, not even the concept. Think I may like the last one the best but again it does nothing for me. At least, the song titles are pretty awesome though which more important.

Same. I used to not mind it much but as of late, it has seriously been the damnation of a lot of potentially great shoots and that's just not cool.

Qt Mashi 13th September 2010 01:00 PM

wow, it's better than crossroad covers, it looks interesting!

Max_ZZZ 13th September 2010 01:06 PM

I LIIIIKE THEM definitely appeal to me more than the past ones =] meaningful though, the others were still good eye candy too

i agree, no to the lips '-___- but at least her mask lips aren't doing it LOL

freedreamer 13th September 2010 01:08 PM

and that's a new hairstyle i see right? :)

thatstacey 13th September 2010 01:11 PM

I like the concept, but I'm not a huge fan of the execution. I would have liked for it to be closer to the MY STORY tour intro: each "mask" has a distinct look, she rips each mask off, and she's not in a tu-tu (or doing that thing with her lips. It's been going on for too long...).

Still, it's better than I feared it would be, and the tracklisting is promising. Now I have no idea which to order. D:

Aderianu 13th September 2010 01:12 PM

nice covers, love them all
don't like tracklist of last CD...

AyUmIXx 13th September 2010 01:16 PM

haha if the masks doing to the same fish lips..goshh I donno what to think anymore wahaha XD OMG..
I always want to know why Ayu loves doing the fish lips...

prussian blue 13th September 2010 01:17 PM

I cant believe what I saw. Those are horrible imo

I think that's a screw up on whoever is updating TA's site's part.

Has Ayu ever had a remix start a CD off?

And also, these images seem Shimoko-y to me...

Dreamin Startin 13th September 2010 01:18 PM

Lookin good.

Maemi 13th September 2010 01:19 PM

I like them^^ Better than the crossroad ones.

miskiq 13th September 2010 01:19 PM

not that great...she used to produce excellent covers esp blue bird...

AyuGAME 13th September 2010 01:21 PM

hmm...after i think and look about the cover for a while...

i think this cover is really good for poker face single...
i wonder if she did it on purpose to make corelation between this single cover and poker face as her first single...

Dreamin Startin 13th September 2010 01:22 PM

I wonder why some folks think these covers are better than the crossroad cover. Imo the crossroad cover was much better.
And those luscious lips of hers look wonderful http://i37.tinypic.com/j7ci1u.jpg
