Can you say which store it was?

It's subjective

STUNNING GORGEOUS PERFECT BOOKLET

Excuse me as I wipe my drool and tears up.

Her face looks a bit Tomiko Van-ish in the 'fierce' shot.

That sexy fierce picture.... WHY wasn't this the cover. Someone needs to be kicked. Omfg, can't wait for the HQ pictures!

pommy48 4th August 2012 10:29 PM

All kinds of angry as to why they chose such crappy cover shots then! :rambo

jkm444 4th August 2012 11:11 PM

I am glad the inside booklet pictures looks nice. Overall the pictures for this album is better then Party Queen.

owlflight 4th August 2012 11:25 PM

CDJapan has my copy as "in shipping process" so I can't wait to see these booklet photos in real life!

WTF at the inside booklet O__Oa
I guess this is the first time I'm going to buy an album just because the booklet O__Oa

Yumsushi 5th August 2012 12:47 AM

Damn...If not the cover why not make that awesome shot the poster? What's wrong with these people?

But even if there was a vision or theme that she was aiming for that was beyond the comprehension of us petty mortals, the S&S Love is all cover alone throws that theory out the window.

Many will agree that PQs cover was trashy not sexy, and poorly executed at that. I don't think its negative reception is any indication of Japan's overall view of sexy women in their 30s. Wasn't Namie 30 when BF was released? I don't think the ultra sexy cover affected the album's reception at all (or 60s70s80s either).

JackieRos 5th August 2012 12:51 AM

I'm in the same boat as everyone the inside pictures are flawless

cd only cover has to go away!

SURREAL__RAINBOW 5th August 2012 01:05 AM

As a greedy ayufan I wish they would have included offshots from the past summer singles in a photobook :thud :innocent

I wonder if any other Sunrise/Sunset pictures were any good/better.

attractive nausea 5th August 2012 02:12 AM

Why hasn't you & me full leaked yet ):

roanmy 5th August 2012 02:29 AM

I actually prefer the 2CD+DVD cover. =P
