A Classical cover & tracklist

[truehappiness]

Why did they have to ask the Japanese fans' favorite songs without even telling them why.

I think they wanted to keep it secret unlike how "What is your favorite summer song(s)?" pointed at a summer best exactly. "What songs would you like to hear in classical form?" doesn't really point at anything other than a classical arrange album (or concert) and it seems they also wanted to go for a 'fan favorite' tracklist with this album for whatever reason. As much as I like fan favorites, rearrangements of some lesser known/lesser remixed tracks were probably in order for this.

But a lot of the Japanese Ayu fans LOVE JEWEL. I'd say about 40% of them said JEWEL as favorite song when I asked...

WTF????!!?!!! Alright, i'm not gonna buy this.

[Eewyi]

Cover was pretty expected, it continues the "sketch-style" used in MY STORY Classical cover. Tracklist looks nice, but would be nice to have more tracks. And the cover is pretty nice, since it's hand drawn, unlike MY STORY cover.

and her work is from this pic and eyes of ayu is flawless in her works

A RECYCLE

Then why were you expecting something different?

that's like saying all the ayu-mi-x covers are similar and that ayu-mi-x 8 will be the same. don't play the sarcastic game with me. i'll blow your ayu fandom out of the water.

I think JEWEL, evolution, and insert random 3rd track, where all edged out by the three new songs

am I not getting the change with My Story classical and My story...
they are two completely different covers.

LOL

I knew this was going to be crap the minute I saw the title.

The inside actual CD cover of MY STORY Classical is a gold/white version of the CD only MY STORY cover. It's also rather hideous. The part most people think of as the cover is a slipcase.



Jeez, now that I look back at the 'official' shot for MY STORY's cover (not the alternate CD+DVD ones)... it's soooooo bad.

Oh my God, thanks for pointing that out - now I'm even more disappointed...

[title156]

I don't mind if they use only (sparkling gold) logo on the cover. = ="



PS. I just realize that they change the album title from "A CLASSICAL" to "A Classical"....

Yeah, I'm waiting for M too, since every version of M is flawless.

lol, I forgot about that... the only cover I think about it is the slipcases...
okay.

[andycruize]

We can't judge before we heard the preview from the song in this album, but yeah I don't wanna lie that I hate the cover, if the song is good so i'll buy it

[TeamAyu2004]

the cover doesnt bother me, I'm just BLAH over the entire thing now...
underwhelming.

[truehappiness]

I think as soon as this was announced after the TA poll, people should have expected at the very least, M/Days/SEASONS/BLUE BIRD/Dearest so I don't really think disappointment is in order since we sort of saw it coming? I'm looking forward to hearing everything since classical Ayu is awesome, but I don't think fans here will particularly be happy with this tracklist considering what 'could have been'.
