you are not alone.i love it too!

Covers?? Already!!
CD+DVD is PURE LOVE! She's so natural, with a normal expression, stunning! Kind of reminds me of (m)u covers... waaaaay better!
CD is horrible. Yet I don't mind since I won't buy it.
:innocent

I like the CD+DVD cover, but I just don't like her weird expression in the CD only, though I was expecting it after the pics in deji diary. Overall, not really loving these covers, but they're a step up from the S/S covers so can't really complain.

I KNEW IT! I had a feeling that the covers would be out today and here they are!! I'm SOOOOO happy! *______________*

Ayu looks great on the covers and I'm extremely happy that she is wearing my favourite outfit from the London-shooting!! <3
The covers are LOVE, but of course they are...it's Ayu-chan after all!! ^.^

Wahhhhh, but we have to wait so long until we finally get the new album. But still, this made my day!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for posting!!

*__________*

I LOVED CD+DVD version. She looks so cute.:luv2:luv2:luv2

oh wow these are awesome! so beautiful. as i expected i like the CD + DVD better, so happy i preordered that one!

yes.i have no regret pre-order cd+dvd jp press!

omg u guys think the limited box will have a full body shoot as the cover?? *-*

that would be my dreaam <3<3

I love the covers :thud They are awesome.

I love the CD+DVD cover... :luv2 BUT I hate the hat on the CD only cover!! It was okay on the Vivi deji deji but now it ruins the whole photo ;_________; + her face... omg.. :no
This is probably the first time I complain lol XDD

I pretty much had the same reaction when I came to refresh the page. Luckily I wasn't eating a candy bar, heh. :D


Oh and, the lovely nanakopy87 ;) was first I noticed to put the CD+DVD as her avatar, so even though I prefer that cover, I used the CD only version (since I like 'em both) :D :D

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. OMG YOU SHOULD BE AN AVEX WORKER @_@

just...horrible ! i'm not sure it'll be her "mature" album... let's see the songs, but already afraid.

WOW! You are GOOD! Damn you though I almost love that [fake] cover best now! lol :D

Just the same as another here.. I love CD+DVD Version xD

I love jiarongisme's modification on the cd+dvd (you should really work for avex, esp when kaz messes around). But I love the original text on her face as well :D

I think this is better. I don't like the title on her face.:(:(:(

:lech
ya.i love the cover alot!i don't have time to adjust/design a new one.so i'll use the default one first.
so,the limited edition boxset might have different cover?i think the cover for the cd+dvd is still the same except for the cover on the boxset is different but i don't know if this will happen or not.remember the boxset for you were.../BALLAD?its the same cover for the boxset and the cover on the cd casing

I think Kazu didn't shot this one :O I've read it somewhere here.
You can't always blame it on kazu you know xD

This is even better! :D Bravo :D

Aaah perfect this time..... good work!

Yeah~ ND CHOW shot it

WOW!!
They are amazing,:D
I especially like de cd+dvd version, i just order it!!

CD+DVD :heart

I always love what she does... in general, but as for these covers, I don't ! They're ugly ! Secret was 100000² times better than RnR Circus ! Can't compare at all!

love them :luv2

i guess i'm the only one that likes the CDonly one better :roflmao

LOVE the CD+DVD cover. Only improvement I'd make is to take the album title off her cheek and put it within the red part. CD cover, not so perfect but still a decent shot.

While we wait for high-res versions of the covers, could anyone please post the pictures, or a link to, the actual photoshoot? How come I can't find a good HQ source for those pictures? :P

Um, because they just came out? It might be a few days before hi res ones surface.

there's no HQ pics except for the ones on vivi scan

CD+DVD cover reminds me of (miss) understood.

ayu went overseas, and had a close up picture of her as cover.

but the covers are so so for me. not very excited about it.

I agree with you, these covers are ****ing ugly. I don't understand how people can find them brilliant.

That one kind of low quality page huh? Bummer. Such nice pictures.

But boy what an exciting day though. I'm really happy. :D

woooww.. very cool cover.. I like it very much. I prefer CD+DVD however I like CD only too but her smile just too strange for me

Because her smile on CD+DVD isn't?

Ah I was right, this is the cover outfit. No wonder they wouldn't let us take pictures of her in London that day...

Eh, they are okay, but not that fantastic. CD+DVD is the better cover though, for a change. I still prefer the Next Level ones tbh.

Finally some cool pics!! I really love these covers especially the CD+DVD one!!
Britpop style eh? LOL :D

Covers are OK I guess, I'm not very satisfied with them, I expected something different and new ...

i'm sure it'd be easier to spot it on the shelve in the store later,lol

err.. it looks simple.. kinda not expecting this kinda covers but still good nonetheless!! :yes she looks cute!! :luv2

EDIT: My take: CD-Only cover > CD+DVD Cover. :D

The cover looks nice! I guess BOX SET cover is gonna be so cool.

CD+DVD is really nice, love it! :heart
But the font on her face is ruining it somehow... Why did they place it on her face when there are those Union Jack inspired red bands? Don't get it.
That's perfect, good job!

The CD only is horrible. I like the design here as well, but her position and especially her face - it looks bad. Ayu tried to be super cute again in the CD only cover, dislike that a lot. I wish she would stop to try to be too cute, it doesn't fit to the mature 31 year old woman she is. *sigh* She is natural cute, she doesn't need to force herself to such shots, it's too much cuteness!

But whatever, I preordered CD+DVD anyway, so I'm happy! :heart

Amazing x1000!
I love them! Much more ALIVE and creative than most of her previous album + single covers. The best out of the two, of course, being the CD+DVD ^^

I'm in love <3

I love the CD+DVD Cover, she looks cute

there should be some kind of a warning: Don't refresh AHS carelessly if you have problems with swallowing. Or something like that XD


btw, are we're sure that there'll be a cover for the box? or wil it be transparent with all the items nicely arranged?

these are the real covers, right?
not some cheap fake? o.O

This is amazing!! I was totally afraid what they are gonna do with such title,
but they are much better then I could even imagine. CD DVD is soooo cute, Im so
happy Im gonna get that version. CD only is lovely as well <3

I love them both, but I like the CD+DVD version more :heart

And it would be perfect if it was like this :heart

cant wait for the limited box cover!
i hope it more spectacular that this one~ XD~

As for me, I'm glad they use that photoshoot for the cover. I personnaly love it. However, her face looks weird in both covers, it doesn't look like Ayu at all... Anyway, the general idea is cool and original. I prefer the CD cover, the pose is great, and you can see the hat and the outfit whereas on the DVD cover, you only can see her face, and the title is just right on her check, which I kinda dislike...

excatly.hehehe

I really wish she will make another best cover like I am...

I'm so loving the cd covers!
i thoguht the cd + dvd is the cd only pic..
gahhh i think i'm gonna end up buying both items T__T money gonna fly away T__T

she look like this doll

I love the CD + DVD Cover!! The other one is okay, and I wonder what photo will be for the Limited Box?

Dang jiarongisme is genius

omg best cover in years!!
totally love them<3

OMG, I really really really love the new covers~!!!!!!!!!!!!It feels like the new AYU has revealed out, love it!!

They're... decent :laugh

Idk, like someone said earlier in this thread, the pics from that shoot have been around a while, so it kinda ruined the surprise :laugh Well, I guess I like them, it was a really cool photoshoot, but I think they could have been better done. I'm sure the booklet will be stunning though, and I'm at least glad it's not another failure a la S/S xD

They are at least better than NEXT LEVEL covers, tho.

I hope there's some see through slip case so you can see Ayu's face without the text and lines all over it. XD

^^^ I hope so too XD

Both are good but as usual i prefer the CD only cover a little more

I think the other way around xD Some photos on the photobooks are probably outtakes...

I thought the London photoshoot was for the album in general though? I'm guessing they intended the shoot to be for the album, but put extra photos in a photobook, kind of like GUILTY's photobook with extra photos from the album booklet?

i really like the covers. they would've been better if she wasn't smiling like that but still they are much much better than NEXT LEVEL covers

I love them!

I like the CD only more though, and I bought CD+DVD! D: Going to have to order the CD only next week now... she looks so awesome on the CD only. She looks just like when I saw her - well, it's photoshopped version of when I saw her!

FP bonus for CD only so I don't feel bad buying both please <3

edit: Waaah, yay! I JUST had enough to get the CD only! I now have £3 in my bank account. XD

I LOVE THE BOTH!!! I hope I can buy the two version!! (Just hope... I don't have enough money >_<)

i like it i think they look cool XD

I personally love the covers. they're absolutely amazing. I think i preffer the cd/dvd one though a bit more. the cd looks a tad over exposed.

I agree thee are better shots but these are pretty. the close up is cute and the CD only...err too much photoshop? but gotta see the bigger ones/HQ. I love em. Even though they doesn't really depict Rock n Roll Circus I guess

I think they're great. Can't wait for the album to come out.

Yesssss.. Nice covers! Love them! I agree also that DVD+CD is much better :yes Although I hate the text on her face... Wtf?? o_o Stupid...
CD only looks weird and I don't like the font too much.. Well it can always be worse :D Thank you for pictures~~

Omggggg I love the CD+DVD!!!! :luv2 :heart :love

I'm not as spazzy over the CD only, but I still love it!!! :D

awesome awesome awesome awesome
awesome ever never ,kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
love it~~ ayu ganbatte nee....awesome,,can"t wait this album out,.yaai~

The CD+DVD Version is really cute. But OH GOD THE CD VERSION HAS THE DUMBEST EXPRESSION SHE HAS MADE YET LOL

Just saw them and wanted to come here to say something:


I TOLD U THEY WOULD USE THOSE PHOTOS!!!!


I´m god!

The covers looks decent.

The only issue I have is that RnRc logo on her face for the CD+DVD cover. It makes her look like a college cheerleader with the logo on her face. lol.

Otherwise they both look good.

I like both covers but maybe cd cover's a bit better , her eyes on CD+DVD cover scares me! at least , these covers looks better than her two latest albums !

i really like when ayu have strickly portrait on her covers. Just like CD+DVD... I really like them!

she looks like a little girl on the CD+DVD cover. I like both and the cover art they did this time~

I was hoping for a more fierce and crazier look though.

I'm not too fond of either of the covers, but that's okay! Covers aren't that important! I think if I were ordering based on which cover I like better, I'd order the CD Only, but I definitely plan on getting the CD+DVD.

I loved the covers,BOTH!!:luv2:luv2


OMG!
They are shining!!
And much more better than NEXT LEVEL.

I'm so glad that the CD+DVD version is in the limited box, i'm soo loving that version ..
I'm not hating the CD only version, her face just looks a bit out off it ... almost as if she is sleepy.
Her CD-DVD cover is definitely one her best covers in a while

now all we need is the Tracklist and the Cover for her tour DVD

Yaaay~☆!
They're finally out! Little bit dissapointed, I was waiting for more rock-stylish covers, not this kawaii.. but these are nice too!! Love the CD + DVD one, but CD Only is weird for me.. ❤

the cover look alright XD

Ehh, to be honest I am a little disappointed. They aren't terrible but they definitely aren't as great as Next Level. I was expecting a little more rock or circus elements. I hope there are other versions for the box and the version with arena tour.

I wasn't expecting these yet.

And I must say................they are great! I love both covers actually. Her eyes look huge in them, but I really like the overall concept. Really cool. They are simple, but effective.

Honestly I would actually say they are her best covers in a long while - way better than Next Level, Guilty, and Miss Understood and at least on par with Secret.

Woooww I like them both!!

I love them

They're so different from her previous covers <3

yeah... thank God it's ND CHOW's works... :D

Kazuyoshi ruined all of her covers.. :(

The photo selections aren't fantastic - ayu looks like she's making terrible cutesy faces on both, and it's kind of irritating. But the photography itself is good! And it's nice to see her not overly photoshopped, and she DOES look cute. It's also nice to see her graphic designers actually doing some graphic design work for once. :P~

Bottom line, they could be better, but I like them! They feel very indie and simplistic, and I hope the sound of the album reflects that a little bit. Awesome ayu is awesome. :)

Love this covers can't wait to see the limited box cover ahhh

I dont mind the CD+DVD one.The CD one just looks wierd.It looks like she wants to smile but she's in pain.
