Wow, this could be PV

[Katsuyuki012]

^It most likely is one!

[Faiza]

I would die if these shots came from a PV for Will

[AndyF]

It's a SERVE! I'm really excited to see this pv, I hope she releases it soon... I like the idea of traditional ayu vs contemporary ayu.

[hud]

I'm not that crazy about the cover but the kimono shots are beautiful! hope it turns out to be a beautiful PV.

[oaristos]

I forgot to comment here.

There's nothing special about that cover, but she does look gorgeous. I'm excited to see what pictures they'll include in the photobook. Also, I wonder if it's going to be the same picture for every edition? That seems unlikely but at the same time, I wish they'd have shown all of them at this point.

The PV looks very promising from those pictures!

A concept is definitely not necessary for someone to enjoy a release, but I think it's natural to expect one from Ayu since she delivered so many conceptual songs, PVs, albums, etc. throughout her career.

[truehappiness]

I am... still.. so... wow...

[truehappiness]

I mean I'm just happy with whatever mostly since it means she's not retired/inactive.

true.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Beautiful pictures!!
So I found myself wondering if Beloved and Sunset could end up on this release.

I love Sunset~love is all, and would go crazy for a good remastered version of it.

[NintendoHTF1242]

The covers didn’t do anything for me but loving the shots of her with the tree.

この屏風と床が素晴らしく美しすぎて歩くの緊張しました。。1テイク目はシモ子からカットかけ られました笑

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I wonder if we’ll get the video early???
Like, I assume they had it planned to be released with the original release date (unless that was part of the production issues)—and we still have a long time before 4/8 lol.

[Teppei-chan]

I think I like tue white outfit a little bit better but she Looks so good in both. Can't wait to see how the Video will turn out to be.

[Katsuyuki012]

I definitely hope we get a teaser soon! She looks stunning in all of the photos.

[Deep snow]

what does that caption mean (琳派の間)? it could be the title of the song lol

we know after オヒアの木 that she's no longer averse to having song titles in actual Japanese characters.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

琳派 (Rinpa) is the style of the art that she’s standing in front of.
I believe it just means like, being in the presence of rinpa (?) lol

Oh, the (original) art she’s in front of is two separate screens, so it could be literally “between rinpa” as well haha but I believe it’s a more general, “space of rinpa”, or “room of rinpa”.
