Each times the negative point is the cover and the songs. Most of them wass expecting something else, something with more consistence, something that could have been like the singles she had released in the past, a new hit summer song !
But they all have been a bit disappointed... The songs are "flat" And they told me that the lyrics were okay but she uses some words/expressions that don't really fit a 30yo singer...
Even some hardcore fans told me "Well I bought it because it's Ayu that's all"
<- That's not necessarily my point of view, that's what I've been told.

actually, i don't know why some ppl say this single is not good compared to ayu past summer single. I guess their mind may be affected by the sale figures. Low sales = poor quality???
Just talking about the song, I think "Sunrise" and "Sunset" are really GREAT!!! "Sunrise" is FUN!!! "Sunset" is TOUCHING!!! It is much better that "glitter", "Greatful Days" & "July 1st".
Honestly, the cost of Sunrise/Sunset PV is much lower compared to that of ayu past PV. However, it's still a good PV because I can feel the energy of ayu, dancers and her fans.
The poor cover may affect the sales. But it's not main reason I think. The main reasons are the economy of Japan and the trend of legal song download.
