Though I agree with your point, too.

I say what your point is or isn't! u_ú

Seeing the larger picture, I think the drawing of her face is really beautiful and I really like it, but the hand outline... not that good D:

Most of Ayumi's rock songs have an orchestral influence already that could easily be worked with to create a fully orchestrated version that still mirrors the original feeling. It's not like her rock influence is punk or black metal.
But JEWEL is incredibly delicate and I feel like the minimal ticking beat is it's essence. The melody itself is just bland J-Ballad to me.

I think the same with fairyland.
That song man...
that song.
Even though it isn't my no1 played ayu song, its still my no1.

I wish they'd chosen something different from the cover already used. That's all.

As much as I'm kinda excited for this release, I'm going to be terribly, terribly, TERRIBLY disappointed if they reused old Acoustic Orchestra versions of those songs.
So far, the only ones that didn't get an AO ver. are Love song and You & Me (and maybe Voyage too), so they're probably the only ones I'm looking forward to.

Seriously, these songs better have new arrangements. The cover's already craptastic, although it is quite impressive for a hand-drawn fanart.
Something simplistic yet fancy like My Story Classical's cover would've sufficed -____-.
Or if they drew a picture that hadn't been used already...

It's obvious that these will all be new arrangements. people, relax. still a troll release though.

Voyage has an acoustic orchestra version located on the No way to say single.

Tats really disappointing. The cover is not as pretty and the tracklist is really boring.

I just have to wait until the album release/leak....

[isthisLOL?]

I just realized it could leak in the week between Christmas and NYE. Don't albums that are released close to the new year get into stores earlier in Japan?

[Delicious n Bold]

Let it leak, let it leak, let it leak
We wish you a merry leakmass
And a leaky new year.

^ that just sounds wrong.
but I would like to have it earlier as well.

given thats its supposed to be out on tuesday, I dont think it will be release till then. Since its just a day before the others.

[Krushnic]

Where's the creativity? Cover troll.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

tracklist troll! it's all BS

[Catzi]

BLUE BIRD is a freaking popular song in Japan, huh. O_O

[Delicious n Bold]

That song is oddly popular.
Like yui back in the day.

[TeamAyu2004]

blue bird is a very nice song... ^_^
