[News] 49th and 50th singles: [crossroad] 9/22 and [L] 9/29 [V]

[Mai82Go]

I like the covers for crossroad. Even though I imagined them to be kind of different. I also like the dress and the look in Ayus eyes. I prefer them over MOON/blossom. I also prefer the song over MOON and blossom, so I think this will be a great single. Now with the JaeJoong PV for blossom we won't even have to worry about Number 1 cause the JaeJoong Fangirls will buy the CD & DVD version for sure. Nice Marketing!

ayumisrael: Best post ever. =P

Exactly what I was thinking. You know, I always wondered why ayu didn't have like these amazing mind blowing innovative covers all the time. It's not like she can't afford the best of the best graphic designers/photographers. The majority of her covers are pretty basic though lol and look like they were made in less than 5 mins. Not saying they're all bad because of that, it's just kind of weird since she's so famous and rich.

I don't gett why people complain, i really like them.
Ther are simple, SO WHAT, less is more i think.
I like that it isn't really exploding colours and background.
These are youthfull and calm covers, i think crossroad is also calm and youthfull so i think it perfect matches.
I just don't understand why people are complaining about her hair.
Okay it is maybe for young girls, and she is 30 allright. But does she look like 30, NOOO. I don't wanna troll or something but some people should just should complain less.

[joshohhhhh]

after madonna and kylie, i don't think there should be a standard for how youthful one is allowed to look.

[WoWee]

I want HQ pics from the covers, and im also wondering wenn we gte the tracklist + covers from [L]. Any info about wenn we get that yet?

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I hope we get L's info in a week or so, not more x)


I'm dying to see how that single is going to look like!!

[AyuWorld]

i love the covers,even they look like a magazine cover XD but i love the pose,i love the dress that shes wearing,she looks funky,cool,and stylo ^^

and omg what a nice stategy haha,JJ!! and it would be awesome if Ayu would be in the PV,gosh! Ayu and JJ as a sweet couple <3 finally not her dancer so yayy!

[Heavenly]

For the cover appearring in the newspaper, maybe there will a sort of alternate cover, like in the & single (the third sheet is like a cover, with the title and "ayumi hamasaki" on it).
Since You were.../BALLAD we have more photos in the booklets. I hope for another photos-amount ala T2M or Bold & Delicious

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Why does everyone want single covers to be so conceptual...

Just because it's called "crossroad" doesn't mean Ayu should be standing in the road pondering which way to go

[LizBrazil]

The plot is about a young painter (Jaejoong) who is chasing his dream despite being attacked by a disease, the story tells how he spends the remaining of his life eagerly.

Somehow I have a feeling that the blossom PV plot is about her friend who died. The one who lost his fight and who was very brave until the end. She still wears the red bracelet which refers to her friend. I think it could somehow be based on his case.

About the AHS drama, that's actually the reason why I visit this forum less and less Some people are so hard to please

I thought it was about her & her deafness. When she will be deaf totally, she'll be died as music is her life & life is her music.

Where do you see a red bracelet?

[ExodusUK]

Fish don't have lips so the "fish lips" thing is stupid.

For you how are saying: just some guy...why is he in the PV?

Dont you know who he is? He is like the hottest thing in Japan (and Asia) right now. Everything he touches turns to gold...so expect this single to reach 200,000 + sales..I promise you! Ayu is gonna benefit from this, so dont just call him some guy.

That won't happen. It might help some but not that much.

I think you mean 100,000+ sales. That sounds more realistic to me. Even then I'm not so sure because of "L"

[ayumisrael]

I don't know if him being in a PV can boost that much sales. =P

^Ayu's still amazing being half deaf. maybe she could still do it... kinda like Beethoven still did music being deaf...

Beethoven can compose when it was deaf because he know the sounds. But Ayu have a lot of difficulties to sing. If she could do the same that Beethoven her vocal would always be perfect but it's not the case. A human body don't work as a music instrument. It's totally different.

yeah i know. I was only joking around. I have a cousin who's completely deaf so i know what the symptoms etc are like for it.

Probably should've added in my usual ""
