I have a feeling that even with good songs, bad covers deter people from buying? I dunno...I thought Sunrise and Sunset would sell well because they were VERY jpop. but turns out to be..not as successful.

I hope that with her new calender being shot by leslie if im not wrong? things will change. and with Wataru back in Sunrise, things will change to. (I have feeling Ishii is gonna be back with twisted plots in his ballad PVs...hehehe...i love his ballad PVs)

they also have the opposite effect. I'm not really a fan of the blue bird single, but I'd definitely love to buy it, just because of the cover, and the title "blue bird" fits the single cover so well.

I really don't like the title of a ballad to be, "BALLAD" just like I hate titles that are "LOVE SONG". However I would love the title "BALLAD" if it were to end up being a fast paced rock track or something, haha.

The titles aren't a reflection of the song quality though and since I tend to love Ayu's ballads, I'm hoping that these will follow in the tradition of her other great ballads.

O right...thats a pity. Im surprised Ayu announced the single like...7 weeks before it actually drops..(even though usually its 6 weeks..o well)
so...WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THE NEW MV! hahaha...23rd November would be a fantastic date

LOL @ her new album being called ALBUM... LMAO!

honestly i know what people mean by NEXT LEVEL was so extreme on the theme...

but that's why i sort of liked it? does anyone know what i mean? i saw them... and got taken aback and then fell in love LOL

but ya... i want the covers to be like Together When..., not to look the same but when you see them you think, "wow how calming and nice, it looks like ayu's about to do my laundry" kind of thing. seriously! except replace the laundry thing with a new theme

oh that was good.

i imagine something serene for her winter ballad covers--they always are. though i do hope for a darker cover with darker colors, perhaps? i don't care, really. as long as she does away the fishlips, it's good enough for me.

Omg, I can just imagine the tracklist for that.

Spoiler:

'ALBUM'
- Introduction
- Fast Song
- Rock Song
- Album
- Transition Interlude
- Sunrise
- Sunset
- Nightfall
-Transition Interlude 2
- BALLAD
- You were...
- Red line ~For TA~
- Final Interlude
- Last Song on ALBUM


Okay I think I'm bored. XD

Yeah I want at least a few of the replacement covers (or original covers) for this single with Ayu smiling. That smile from the Dearest single cover would be nice!! Actually, or &, or H.

I actually like the title BALLAD. Yeah i laughed at it at first, but it's not as pathetic as, say, Mika Nakashima naming an album "MUSIC"


and yea, if the first press really have interchangeable covers, there's got to be atleast ONE picture of her smiling...there has to be..
