Because it's just so bland ... we have a whole range of vibrant, interesting and diverse cover images like &, forgiveness, Moments, INSPIRE and CAROLS which are just amazing, and then this hits us. It's just white, and has half her face on. Now this may be key to Ayumi's ideas and wishes for her imagery and creativity, but it just doesn't work for me. It's too similar to A Song is born (which I dislike with a passion), is totally sparse and bears no relation to the movie - it's the theme tune so you would have expected her to take on some of the ideas of that, maybe even dressing up (similar to Joan of Arc / Free & Easy theme) for it.

plus; i was expecting some purple in the cover too. heh

So was I. o.o; I still like it very much though. The picture isn't so busy; just plain and simple. :3

Well, do you want a single with a theme of love and simplicity of one's feelings to have a busy, flashy cover? :o It gives off the sense that this single is going to be peaceful, and etc. ;O lol Perhaps it's because it released 3 days after Sept. 11 :D

ugh. I dunno what I'm saying. lol

Zeo

i was expecting a lot of blue :P...this is nice :) MAybe to show the light and dark side of HEAVEN perhaps? O.o

I don't like it much either.. hopefully when we see a bigger picture.. it will look better to us all.

thanks for the pic

simple but it's stil beautiful!~ ^^ i liek this one aside from the step you cover. ^^

Yep, I got the same e-mail from Avex. :) I really love the cover. Can't wait to see a bigger version.

aww i was expecting better...but itz cool..i guess

I like it. It's not my favorite, but I like the simplicity, especially since her last few covers have been loud and busy. Can't wait to see a bigger version!

Thanks for the pic:)

I like it
a little bit special compare with last few singles :)

the alternate cover, for the dvd i'm guessing. i'm not sure if this was posted before, but just in case.

Ooh, thank you! Both covers are nice... :yes

or actually it could be a promo? but i'm not sure, ahh welll, a picture it is :/

is this another version of cover??? maybe CD or CD+DVD

Just like fairyland, HEAVEN is supposed to come with 2 different covers, so it most likely is an alternate cover.

it's very pretty, but i expected more of a blueish tinge, or just more blue... that, or something that represented HEAVEN, such as her in the center, and glowing such as an angel would... but it's simple. nice, but a tad too simple. shows some emotion.

It's really simple and clean which isn't bad but I like more color to my covers. It's still definitely top notched though... reminds me of "A Best" for some reason... such loneliness in it. I really REALLY like the one where she is looking up though. That one is just BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE IT! I really hope that's the CD+DVD version, because that's the one I plan to get.
