Though Utada's mother jumped from 27 stories up and still no new music.

This is dark humor which I don't mind - it's said primarily for shock value (see comedians such as Lisa Lampanelli, Joan Rivers, etc.), but AHS isn't the audience for this.

... and even so there is a difference between dark humour and being inexcusably rude.

On topic: Yay, I am glad the single is not fake! And she looks beautiful on the cover. I hope the remixes are not all drum and bass or dubstep: those kind of remixes are not my cup of tea.

...and they bitch about my posts.

I think she can be lazy sometimes (see: LOVE again) but this time around it's definitely mostly avex's fault. The only thing that's really "lazy" here is not filming a PV for Terminal, but it's not like Ayu personally remixes songs so if anything, avex is just being cheap by not commissioning more remixes for the single. (And I don't care THAT much about the lack of a PV considering, let's be real, there's no way it'd be a PV worth making or watching anyway, judging from every PV from Colours... and almost every other PV from the past couple of years for that matter.)

They're really just being cheap this time around. And also totally seedy and sleazy with the whole "buy six months of streaming access to 1 new remix for $25!" thing.

Oh my god, I don't expect to read posts like that on AHS..quite shook up now

I love Terminal but I think it more looks like Avex is making the single after all the hype the 'leaked Terminal info' got. If it was more than 3 tracks, this would of been exciting but the track list may extend closer to the release date, fingers crossed.
Her general releases are not done to keep her international fans happy, they are what Avex sees as what will sell best with her Japanese audience. Though when there's nothing, there are all the, "ayu needs to release something", then when once she does, all the hate comes out. But this does seem a little slack.

But ayu sees to be more happy than she was even at her peek, and she is now taking better health of her body which seems to be showing very well. Especially with her last interview. She finally seems truly happy now. It seems fans can be happy for her and wish for her best or they want her life to go to sh#t and have her eating disorder and be alone so she will might possible write a darker album.

Though this XOXO plug in thing seems a rip. Its more like you pay $5 for the plug thing and $20 for a subscription for a few months. I'm guessing too if your in an area and your reception drops out, like when phones do, your music will cut out. And it seems such a hassle, you got to plug in something, open a app, wait for it to do its stream thing, all for one song and a remix. But these things may do well in Japan. She might as well release her stuff on SD cards. At least her Videos will be better quality and you can keep it, instead of streaming it

I think she should release concerts in USB like idols

Didn't Ayu & Leslie have a falling out? I really doubt he shot that cover unless they reconciled or something. The reason was because he published those semi nude photos of her dancers/crew when it was meant to be a gift for ayu's 15th anniversary. The dancers were disappointed that leslie made the pics public. I remember reading that ayu made a post about it as well.

[kimmeh]

How can she be so intensely sexy and classy at the same time?!?
God I love this cover

[Kazeyomi]

Stunning.
She's outrageously gorgeous and omg Ayu with dark hair is the best Ayu

Too bad the cover doesn't fit the single. I mean, it looks more like a digital summer single to me.

[microphone]

A recut single! Neat, but I was hoping for a physical release of Pray with instrumental and remixes. Such an incredible song...

I can't say Terminal is a great song for me (I did like it before) but good to know she is still active.

[ExodusUK]

I kinda wanna see her boobs now. She should do a photobook like hitomi's pregnancy photobook..

[orangeakira]

I don't think I've ever liked a summer single cover more than this. (besides blue bird)

Let's compare one of her best summer covers to her worst

Leslie Kee v/s Aaron or whatever is his name

It seems like dismissing Leslie Kee was a good decision after all

Leslie Kee didn't do the Sunrise/Sunset covers. If I recall, it was Kazuyoshi Shimomura.

Yep you're right
By the way, the longer she stays with a photographer, the worst the pictures get... lol

e.g. : Kazuyoshi Shimomura :
A BEST 2 => stunning // NEXT LEVEL => WTF?!

Leslie Kee :
FIVE => Woah! // Party Queen => No!
