I think so, but the preview on her website shows skip covers and digipack in the TA version photo

songs like beloved, æternal, SAKURA, and how beautiful you are, for instance, sound better but they're still jarringly set in a much higher volume than the rest of the album. meanwhile, JEWEL and Love song sound better but their volumes are lowered, stripping some of the 'kick' in their original mixes. the standouts are MOON, walking proud, Days, Moments, rainy day (holy shit rainy day), and HOPE or PAIN (so so good). |

It's such a beautiful photo of her, i totally agree! Somehow it's also less claustrophobic when it's not such a tight portrait shot, just makes everything look a bit less awkward (the text).

either way, the difference is noticeable in the remasters. I do hope they sound better in the actual album. |

for your information: apple music plays at 256 kbps on wifi and 128 kbps on data. I am not sure about the wired internet data. in comparison, a CD has a bitrate of 1411 kbps. So at loud volume, it is normal that a file on apple music sounds compressed (at least compared to a CD).

I hate the tag they've chosen for spotify lol it's going to mess up her plays sooo much! But oh well, I guess they're remastered, etc.
The pics look so lovely! Trying to avoid them until I get my copy lol but can't resist |

Funny detail :
The actual release of A BALLADS 2 brought up an edited version of the "main" cover. The original one we had (which is also the one printed) is different. Her left hand was less edited (more wrinkles, more natural) unlike the new version. |

THANK GOD they fixing SAKURA. I love the song but never able to stand the ear-piercing mixing when the chorus came in. This is soo much nicer.

I noticed that too, and they similarly de-emphasized the very highest frequencies in the vocal track of æternal, which sounds so much smoother now.

Does it say remaster? That’s how I have A VEST and LOVEppears listed since these are different versions.

So I got to go to Shibuya today.
Except for 1 stand in Tsutaya and half a stand (shared with ketsumeishi) in tower records. I didn't see any other advertisements or posters as promotion for A BALLADS 2. I guess that avex/ayu prefer to use tours, digital downloads, goods and online promo for ayu nowadays Of course I didn't expect her to be on Shibuya 109, but at least a poster at the entrance of Tsutaya or something haha. Anyway I took pics! Shibuya Tsutaya Shibuya Tower Records |
