I guess I'm one of the few who love the preview. I agree it's not very original, but I like the 'sweetness' and I like the way she sings the chorus.

This cover is gorgeous!!

The cover looks lovely. Text style is something to be desired. Can't wait for the release!

AyuAngel just updated, it's on sale on May 14!

So I guess this is going to be her third digital single? The release pattern is practically the same as HBYA...makes sense, since they were the theme songs for the same drama. I like the cover, I like her facial expression, but it's not what I want from the upcoming album. Still, if there are leftovers from the shoot, I hope they surface someday!

lol yeah it's quite ridiculous, their tries, tho frankly it's starting to get pretty annoying little by little.

When I seen it this morning I didn't believe it but now with the mu-mo announcement...OMG !! I'm so happy ! This cover is perfect (Alvin Goh?) and I'm hopeful for the new album !!

[chocopockymaster]

Yeah, I seriously don't understand so many of her team's design decisions. Is it really that hard to pick a font that doesn't look so blah and figure out a color and placement that actually works?

Dear Ayu-staff,

For reference, please see Kuu's SUMMER TRIP covers. Font selection/placement/etc is not rocket science, I promise.

Love, Ayu fans everywhere.

LOL cover and LOL font. The cover remind me the booklet of Guilty and the booklet of LOVE. But the song is happy

She's never looked better, shame the song is such a borefest. But gorgeous cover nonetheless!

Oh man I didn't even notice till you just pointed it out. They must have just blurred it out. I don't know why she would get it removed

Now that you mention it...hah. Although they did such an awful job of photoshopping it, if you adjust the contrast you can see the outline of where her tattoo would be. Font fail, photoshop fail...I'm so surprised! (said no one ever.)

I hope so! That tattoo is awful! But they may have just removed it for the photoshoot. She looks better without it.

Makes me think of SEASONS.

They probably should have left it textless.

With "digital single covers", they usually don't put much effort into them. I mean we usually just get some old textless image (early releases for progress/Song 4 u/Sparkle), the "A" logo, or something leftover from another shoot with a random font on it. Pray was probably the 'best' one IMO.

I do wonder if this is the vision for the new album or if it's just some shot from a future Numero Tokyo shoot or something.

I really like the cover, though not the font, but I'm guessing Ayu checks all that before it's released? So she must have liked it. I'm excited for the song release! I loved the preview.

omg wow! felt like that photo was from Duty/I am... era LOL
