Ok, I'm over the initial disappointment and am starting to get excited. The cover is actually really cool, now that I know it's a fan-made drawing...and at least they chose artwork of a good cover. It could have been fish lips extreme. Also I'm pretty pumped for M and BLUE BIRD!

well, we're gonna get invaded by aliens before this releases..
it happened in JAPAN too.
coincidence? the dethroning of the empress of jpop = reason of 2012.
this whole mess invited aliens and now we're all gonna die.

^ please... 2012 is here, we all gonna go down in flames!!
=)
ayumi was just the pre show.

It's a service started by Murakami (Kaikai Kiki), not a Murakami himself.

the meltdown was just the beginning

I can't believe it
we all gon die and I've NEVER been to japan! ugh.

Edit: if the aliens really did land in japan, one of the comments posted says:

If the aliens do crawl ashore in Japan, you can bet that although they might be given work permits they'll be denied actual citizenship.

It must be D lol

This thread just made me remember - it is 12/12/2012 now in Japan. :thud

Oi... I guess I'm the only one who likes the cover.

My only complaint is 'progress' is not getting the orchestral treatment it deserves. Stupid fan poll. Why you no vote progress?!

i think they don't know the reason for the poll, maybe they thought it could be for her CDL

I know, I'm just being bitter :dead2

The album for this thread: UNCONTROLLED

don't like the eyes

THE COVER ART AND TRACK LIST ARE SUCKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous!
:000

I would like to see a video about the making of this cover. The process itself.

It could be a nice promotional stuff.
It's a shame that Avex never thinks about something like that...

I actually love it now. Pretty cool idea! And the art is incredible. They *could* have chosen a picture from the booklet of LOVE though..something that wasn't already a cover but still tied the concept together.

I meannnnnn 18 pages in, and I don't have anything profound to say, so whatever, I'll just state my opinion that's already shared with many, 'cause why not?

What the hell is with the cover? This isn't a LOVE classical album. What a misplaced cover. It should have been saved to be used with something else. What else? I have no idea right now, but not this album. It's a gorgeous drawing, but, come on...

I have no interest in purchasing this album, but just looking at the tracklist = zzz..

What's wrong with the eyes? They look exactly like the album cover.

It's not even the fan art they claim. It's a comissioned artist mixed with photoshop, coz there's no way he sketched photo quality eyes.

Why? I have friends in my community college who can sketch photo quality eyes lol

Drawing is not that hard. Regardless of whoever decides to reply to try and say it is, I repeat, drawing is not that hard.


Anyways. Cover is ****. Surprise surprise. I would have taken a glorified logo and nice, pretty packaging over it. But, whatev, Ayu, whatev.
