Ayu's looks like a scene from Batte Royale.

The concept is not really the same. This is more theater and Alu is just simple graduation/shool-whatever as there are school kids in the video and the song obviously speaks to a younger audience.

As for the font discussion: I think fancy fonts are the worst thing on CDs and other media. They are 90% miss and rarely add anything. The only time this passes for me is, if there is a consistent font choice (like for Manga-series and s so on; Mika Nakashima also does a really great job at it and it always bothers me if they don't decide to do it at all- in rare occasions) and not jumping from one cover to the other. Aye had this with her A and they should have simply build around it for her whole career, keeping it simple.

That said, a simple white font aesthetically is the most fitting they did in the last few years.
