Multiply does wonders to it imo. Perhaps the real covers have less of a pale look to them.

Multiply does the first cover justice, but the second cover's shadows become a bit too strong XD Not to mention that the second cover just isn't that nice to begin with, IMO :(

Celaphorce 11th August 2008 08:55 PM

I wouldn't want the dvd, but I love ordering cd/dvd editions, but imo the BEST cover is definitely cd only!!!

GRACE 11th August 2008 08:57 PM

The actual cover in the leaked photo looked darker. Maybe the covers are shiny, shiny things always scan bad.

~ayu-cake~ 11th August 2008 09:07 PM

I hate the normal CD cover o__o

But I do love the DVD version <3
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
Very glam.

KuroixShiroi_Namida 11th August 2008 09:20 PM

Woah both versions are awesome but...i love the CD only version! :luv2

Teppei-chan 11th August 2008 09:23 PM

I like the second cover a little bit more but there are both very great^-^

Melon Panda 11th August 2008 09:26 PM

The covers disappoint me. I think I was hoping for something more creative, although now that I think about it, her compilation album covers tend to be pretty simple. This one is a little more extravagant, but I suppose that fits with a title of "A COMPLETE."

♥ you! 11th August 2008 09:28 PM

Please be shiny!

These covers are -okay-. I mean it's just Ayu with a weave and an expensive dress..I was hoping for something a bit more creative.

Exactly. When I saw A COMPLETE I already knew it won't be something creative and it will just be either the single covers collage or glamarous ayu cover.

Therefore I'm not dissapointed at all and I love the covers (specially the 3CD+DVD one).

I thought about something because her facial expressions are different.

On the 3CD only cover her face are serious, which is one way to treat the making of music she's done the past 10 years and the 3CD+DVD one has the joyful/satisfied expression which shows how satisfied she is with the music she's done in her first 10 years and how happy she is doing it.

Ayumi has always done glam shots and such. First impression of her is what she's always been: a girl with expensive taste. Talent aside that's what she is.

but lol. points for 'emberassed'

Mirrorcle World wasn't bad at all. It said "natural", it said "honest". Then look back at covers like "I am..." which said "goddess of peace".

Sparkly couture dresses say "self-important diva". =\
What covers were simply glamerous without being related to the content? Name more than 3.

Edit: Ungh, I'm really not liking this cover (has to be like the only cover other than LOVEppears ~_~).

inspire_rmx 11th August 2008 09:44 PM

love both covers.. she looks stunning there- the hair, the gold theme is very nice. way better than A BEST 2 covers by miles.. can't wait to get both copies of the albums =) hopefully the album will do well on the chart

rakeru 11th August 2008 09:44 PM

CD version definitely owns.

Tom Punks 11th August 2008 09:45 PM

They're pretty... and empty. But oh well. :)

well she's probably saying "this is the cover i wanted, deal with it" *shrug*

Kikaru 11th August 2008 09:51 PM

^LOL

Personally I think it says "this is my anniversary, *****es!"

I have yet to see the meaning behind the RAINBOW Covers beside "Nekkid Ayu in Rainbow colors"

/Off topic

blackmage 11th August 2008 09:55 PM

3CD version is the better cover, but I really want the 3CD+DVD! n___n

Kobayashiwoof 11th August 2008 10:00 PM

My prayer has been answered. A hot cover with hot packaging. :heart And I'll be getting it when it's first out in Japan. OMG! :thud

Coelacanth 11th August 2008 10:09 PM

She looks straight up Hispanic in the CD-only cover. I like the CD+DVD one better, the expression on her face is just priceless.

darc_aqua 11th August 2008 10:10 PM

Although she looks really beautiful in these covers, she should have done something with a bit more depth to it or a theme, like RAINBOW or Memorial address. Those were really nice.

WillofDusk 11th August 2008 10:16 PM

that's hot XD

ll moments ll 11th August 2008 10:22 PM

ouuu, the 3CD one is my favorite! :D

~X2RADialbomber~ 11th August 2008 10:24 PM

Ew... :(

I'm still buying it though. xD

Not all covers need an exact meaning. RAINBOW fits the theme. This doesn't, imo.

I like your thought, though. It made me like the cover more. :333

darc_aqua 11th August 2008 10:37 PM

Wouldn't it be cool if she fashioned an "A" logo with all single images of it
http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/4...logocq6.th.jpg

^A lot better than the way I did it :\

Mari-chan 11th August 2008 10:37 PM

So.. it is really the cover. I belived so.
Hmm.. in the CD-only Cover she really looks a little bit like Byonce. So.. the CD-DVD Version ist better. She looks more like herself.
But.. anyway.. both are nice covers.

yep :) that is quite cool! I like how you have it in no specific order.

MissElin_ 11th August 2008 10:56 PM

So something like this? ;)
http://www.zyrex.org/gallery/Ayumi1/...n0002.jpg.html
But with singles...

Ayumiko 11th August 2008 10:59 PM

the cd only version looks like one of her old vivi covers:

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...1984/mag56.jpg

[taskin.ayu] 11th August 2008 11:10 PM

Ugh it's so unsuitable for a Singles Collection. More like a cover for a magazine.
Oh well, saves me money. XD

Yeah like that but with cleaner edges and not too messy

Lchang_87 11th August 2008 11:26 PM

hmm i really like both...maybe ill have to order the other one as well now :S

4ever*ayu 11th August 2008 11:28 PM

Officially revealed..so everyone should be happy now.

GRACE 11th August 2008 11:35 PM

^No, it's not good enough for some people =/... Some people are never happy =D

I like them though, I really wish I could have both editions ;_;

zoomzoom 11th August 2008 11:47 PM

I don't see why some people are disappointed, what was expected? It's ayu, her covers rarely relate to what's on the cd. A cool/glamorous picture was expected. At least they didn't just stick the A logo on it.

luna7996 12th August 2008 12:00 AM

Does the cd ver. comes in a box also?

GRACE 12th August 2008 12:11 AM

^As far as I'm aware, no it doesn't. CDJapan has the box and photobook labeled only on the CD+DVD's first press

LEOyumi 12th August 2008 12:17 AM

The 3CD cover is sooo strange! Ugly one..
But I like the first! ^^"

nightlightyear 12th August 2008 12:19 AM

Sexyyy~~!! I love 'em. :) Thank you!

stepho_chan 12th August 2008 12:21 AM

KarenPang 12th August 2008 01:15 AM

I think you're the 1st person to post this

I 1st saw it on Japan Roll

I like the 3CDs + DVD cover more than the other 1

kirei_ayumi 12th August 2008 01:18 AM

this was already posted here
it seems like someone went on a posting spree and pushed the most current news down...

jeffycue 12th August 2008 01:19 AM

i like the 3CD cover... crap. why do they always do that, i bought the 3CD+DVD... GUILTY is the only exception. hehehe.

Ayu_lover 12th August 2008 01:27 AM

so beautiful!!! i'm in love!!!

.:dies:.

SunshineSlayer 12th August 2008 01:30 AM

While the pictures are pretty shots of her, they aren't very eye catching I don't think. Part of the reason Best Fiction is selling insanely well is because the covers really do catch your eye on a shelf. These ones look more like regular pretty Ayu magazine pictures to me. :shrug

BluishDays 12th August 2008 01:48 AM

Gorgeous as ever <3

Milox 12th August 2008 01:58 AM

tbh I would had prefered a cover that represented her idol status, maybe something that didn't show her face. I think that would had been iconic, because tbh these ones just look rushed/they didn't really cared

Taru86 12th August 2008 02:02 AM

They are both beautiful! But IMO on the CD only cover, Ayu looks kind of sleepy or something. lol...

SheFliesHigher 12th August 2008 02:45 AM

Blah, boring.

Ani_C 12th August 2008 03:02 AM

I want! D:

kumikomishitate 12th August 2008 03:35 AM

I think this is going to be the first official thing that I'm going to buy. Anyone know how I'm able to watch the DVDs though?

GRACE 12th August 2008 03:38 AM

^You can watch them on your computer

Ayumi_lover 12th August 2008 03:55 AM

i like 3cd one more but ordered 3cd+dvd

Ahi_max91 12th August 2008 03:58 AM

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
VERY PERFECT

taskinillusion 12th August 2008 04:00 AM

So pretty! I actually like the three CD version better, but of course I ended up pre-ordering the 3CD + DVD. I'm so excited about this whole "box" concept! LOL! I don't have anything in my collection like it!!

Calico 12th August 2008 04:35 AM

While I'm not crazy about them they still work for me. To me none of Ayu's album covers have...well, anything to do with anything. In fact the only cover I find a direct correlation between content and cover is LOVEppears, so whoever said it was a pointles cover I must highly disagree with you. =P

Still, I like 3CD more. the DVD one is still the one I'm getting though. Boxes!

yoshino 12th August 2008 04:36 AM

yeah!! so this is the cover!! it's true..
I certainly like this gold outfit !

The 3CD ver. really looks better... =D

Zeke. 12th August 2008 04:41 AM

She does look too much like Beyonce in the 3CD-Only cover. Glad I got the DVD one, lol. HOT!

Ayu'Kiss 12th August 2008 04:43 AM

they're great!
I love shinny

mangoo_x3 12th August 2008 04:43 AM

Sadly I am kinda disappointed in the covers though I still preordered it. The covers are bad but I was thinking of the covers might have a "timeless" look since it is a single's collection and yeah. I was thinking the covers might have another Mirrorcle World look but sadly no.


I agree with you guys, shes looking like Beyonce.

GRACE 12th August 2008 05:07 AM

^Seeing them bigger, I decided I hate the 3CD cover =D She looks stoned =D Or drunk, or both =D

The CD+DVD one looks nice though =D

Princess_Of_Roses 12th August 2008 05:08 AM

The 3 Cd one kinda looks like Beyonce hehe...but its very nice!

minkAYuko 12th August 2008 05:08 AM

^THANKS!

JUST beautiful

Northerner 12th August 2008 05:21 AM

I adore her expression on the 3CD+DVD one --- it's like she's going "Yeah, I'm #1. Deal with it." :D

Now I want one, and it's over 50 dollars and 75% stuff I already have! Oh, no!

Just making a joke, don't take it serious, please.

Pushing boobies,Pushing boobies,Pushing boobies, Pushing boobies
Push my boobies
Won't you push my boobies
You want my boobies
Won't you push my boobies (hey)
[modified by Beyonce "Get Me Bodied"]

I like CD+DVD cover more now. I am surprised she doesn't show her nail-art in these CD covers. Her fingers are simply covered or hidden behind her head.

GRACE 12th August 2008 05:25 AM

I don't see where you're getting her boobs look weird, she looks just as flat chested as she always does in that picture =/

I was joking.
My main points in my previous post is "She doesn't show her nail-art in these cover, and I am surprised."

thesilentspeaker 12th August 2008 05:34 AM

geez i prefer the CD version better :D

Yeah, that's the sort of expression she has on the CD only.. very deadpan and like: "wat r u lookin' at? -blank stare-"

3CD+DVD = "Hey I have been active for 10 years. Most of my CDs are top 1, duel with the fact that I am the queen of jpop!"

3CD = "What are you looking at?"

It is hard to have similar expression for 2 different covers, tho.

GRACE 12th August 2008 05:42 AM

3CD gives me more of a "You better not mess with me, I'm the queen, *****" combined with the use of drugs feeling.

The CD+DVD one says: "Ha ha, stupid Kumi actually used the joke I gave her on the radio, sucker." (Joking, joking)

AyuXGuiltyXHamasaki 12th August 2008 06:02 AM

Dannnggg.
Those are niceee~!!!

s1012h 12th August 2008 06:02 AM

Probably the best covers she's put out in a long time lol.

SpiceSquad! 12th August 2008 06:18 AM

bo*bs.. is this cover got to do with her recent ad on womens underwear??

LacusClyne 12th August 2008 06:40 AM

looks like someone got their hands earlier of the box set. it's nicely done though, except the could-be-better cover picture

ROFLMAO That is the best joke ever, probably true :lech

i hope we will have big booklet and not such as in A Comlete Clip Box

AyumiBest 12th August 2008 09:05 AM

The 3CD+DVD has the "I'M NUMBER 1!" feel.
The 3CD only has a sleepy feel.
At least to me. XD

vnovogra 12th August 2008 09:18 AM

oh!!! i always end up ordering the cd+dvd version and in the end i like the cd only cover soooo much more... darn... need to change my order!!!:grumpy

lovelism 12th August 2008 09:44 AM

OMG I think 'm getting BOTH versions!

tehxiinae 12th August 2008 10:13 AM

awhhh maaaannn...the rumours were true :( boring covers!!!

they were supposed to be AWESOME. EDGY. FRESH AND NEW.

instead they're a rehash of old photoshoots over the past year =/ (such as those in abest2, etc.)

*sigh*

i preordered a long time ago. i just wish the covers were a lot more WOW.

Lanz16 12th August 2008 10:17 AM

Oh YES!
So the leaked pics of A COMPLETE is truly real! O____O

Anyhow, its very beautiful. :)

BoBo 12th August 2008 10:22 AM

10x :)

RadnasticReggie 12th August 2008 10:33 AM

SO glad I ordered the one with the DVD. It's gorgeous.
I think it makes it look like she's quite enjoying herself a lot.
Like she's enjoying her 10th anniversary haha. (^.^)

kendelle 12th August 2008 10:54 AM

I ordered the 3CD + DVD version but I think I will get the OS version of the 3CD cover because it looks too good to miss!

Cys86 12th August 2008 10:56 AM

I expected something more original from the cover, something more artistic... well it's not bad but it could have been much much better.

kendelle 12th August 2008 11:01 AM

I think I already posted in the other thread for this but oh well :)

I think I will have to get the CD only version of this release now too! I really like both of these covers and don't think I could choose just one to have!

Cys86 12th August 2008 11:01 AM

I don't like it... I think that the cover of A COMPLETE should be more original and this one is so like the cover of Mirrorcle World or glitter/fated

ayumisrael 12th August 2008 11:47 AM

Higher quality covers from mu-mo!

3CD+DVD
