'again' mini album covers

[TeamAyu2004]

I wish it was more christmas-ie... but this cover is nice.
It grows on me more and more...

and
LOL... listening to Utada's new song and looking at the covers... it makes it more beautiful... (both song and covers)

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

SO glad I preordered both versions...and it seems like the remixes of wake me up and snowy kiss will be trance!

+1
it doesnt effect me in the slightest.

also she hasnt had a simple cover in the a long time... there is always so much going on...
LOVE, again is simple. its grand. they are amazing.

[isthisLOL?]

Trance remixes give me LIFE

[AyuHamasaki01]

The covers are nice, I wish she would do something more creative though.

Really nice photos for the covers. If Ayu wants to use Maro, that's up to her as long as she is happy then I'm happy Maybe she wanted the affection shown in the covers to be more genuine which gives a soft, warm feeling

Ah, right. I've checked the ayu trance 4 booklet scans. So has this been the first time that he remixed a song for Ayu? The problem I had with the "Greatful days" remix was my aversion for the original mix. I simply don't like this song but the second half of the remix is OK.

Another example is "Beautiful Fighters". I can't really say that I like this song either, but the MSTRKFT remix is actually one of the toughest musical pieces among the ayu-mi-x 6 albums. Truly a gem!

Which means, a bad song can possibly change into a masterpiece after its remix-transformation

She has boyfriends in her videos and covers, now we just need them on songs.

[LEOyumi]

What's the problem with her using her boyfriend on the cover?
Anyways, the covers are cute! Nothing really special, but I kinda like them.

If the next single cames out in anything between 6 months and 1 year, that's still her normal time when she is not on hiatus xD

I really like the CD+DVD cover, it's very original for Ayu. Not too fond of the CD only, but it's really refreshing.

I agree with the people saying it's all very... convenient.

[maikaru]

Ayu released in her statement: "Work is work, private is private." And that's been her motto forever. It's really disappointing... I don't think I'm going to purchase this single/album(Whatever) just because it feels wrong. I don't like this direction which Ayu is going, it's scary. =/

I'm so disappointing, I'm really sad... Awww. I hate this feeling. I feel she's not the same person as before... it's a depressing feeling. =[

I kind of agree a bit

[gogirlanime]

too much like "LOVE" I hope all of the 5 mini album covers don't have the same colors and theme as the first two. I was really hoping for something totally different. Maybe I am complaining too much but LOVE was all pastel-y soft and pretty and same with this one, I hope the next release isn't like that I don't care if it's a story, it's boring.

Thanks for the info regarding Sakura Nagashi, sadly it sounds bland to me

[ExodusUK]

It just goes to show how different the are, Utada releases a classy nice ballad with no fuss while Ayu is doing all this business..hm.

but that is Hikki's style, she strives to be ordinary, girl next door, generic and low key (kinda why she had zero chance of ever making it here)

I like Ayu's over the topness and I am starting warm to these covers cuz just lol they are so ridic

[relmy]

I never get this whole Hikki being normal thing, she has famous parents in the industry and just as much promo as Ayu.

She has an EVANGELION tie in. How is that normal?!

[Zeke.]

This just gives me a bad feeling in my stomach. Seriously...? Her TA entry where she made the announcement said "I think this is the last time I will speak on this subject" and then two days later puts out an album cover with her lover...

First cover is not good at all - her hair looks like straw. Second cover is decent.
