Alright, exceeded my expectations already...but like others have said, how many different classical versions of these songs do we need?

Reposting (although I shouldn't bother cause I know the inevitable "What do you think about the A CLASSICAL cover and preview of Voyage?" Thread will pop up in the Chat-Room section any minute now):

The cover is butt. Hardly looks like Ayu. But I think it's due to that awkward facial expression. Also, her face is too pointy.

Regarding the track, it's lovely. I think it may be the best version of Voyage yet. For some reason, Voyage has always been rather annoying. But this softens it up quite a bit and makes it sound enjoyable.

For those who complain about the recycled cover: you guys know that she does that because MY STORY Classical had the MY STORY cover as the actual cover, just put through a filter (no, the key was just the slip case, not the actual cover). That's why she used LOVE's cover for A Classical and the Zutto.../Last minute/Walk cover for LOVE CLASSICS. It's always a recent cover redrawn.

MY STORY Classical and MY STORY using the "same" covers makes more sense because they're both related projects (with the exception of A song is born). A Classical had nothing to do with LOVE (even if Missing is on the tracklist) and so is LOVE CLASSICS with Zutto.../Last minute/Walk.

I've seen the filtered MY STORY cover you said somewhere online, but I've also seen the physical CD being sold in the key cover :|

Also, according to avex, the key one is the official cover http://avex.jp/ayu/discography/detail.php?id=1003385. (But who can trust avex anymore, am I right)

IIRC, the slipcover with the gold key design was a first press bonus and when you removed the slipcover the booklet cover was the filtered version of the MY STORY cover. I think the regular press just has the key design on the booklet cover, as there is no slipcase.

Edit: They did something similar for the first press of Love songs. The 'official' cover is printed on the slip case, and then an alternate cover is printed on the cover of the booklet that's inside the jewel case.

I've never seen that version! I like it better than the outside one.

Ah! Thank you for clarifying that.

I feel like this version of Voyage is going to be wicked popular for weddings (which is probably what she was going for, lbr). But they've done it justice. I dread/don't know what to expect from HONEY x Hallelujah.

LOL THEY DID IT AGAIN WITH THE COVER, but i really like this one, it's not just usual pencil drawing, they could have though used an outtake from that photoshoot, one that we didn't see yet instead. But it looks nice. And Voyage sounds lovelly ♥
Also i am not sure if the graphic artist was high on something or they just got lucky but the fonts look nice too. Maybe because typography itself is so small, that's why it doesn't bother me..?lol

For those who complain the cover, if you can't draw better than this cover, you should not complain. It is not easy to draw a good painting.

This cover is good and the pink flowers bring the spring feeling

I didn't think they could make those Zutto covers look good but this is just beautiful.

GORGEOUS. I loved it so much more than I thought I would. Something about it so just so pretty to me.

And I love the cover. I just can't deny that delicate prettiness.

Honestly, everytime I listen to one of those classic versions of Voyage it sounds exactly the same to me.
