(miss)understood CD and CD+DVD covers (HQ cover Post 306)
 

I think it's not the official cover. It's a shoot from Bold & Delicious pv shooting. Plus there's no text or anything.

Looks like a photo from "B&D". If it's the cover... :no

I was hoping she could simply forget the whole NYC thing after the "B&D" single since those aren't included in the next album "(miss)understood)".

* By the way Akurei, love the new set! :D

i highly doubt that is the cover. and if it is, poo on that!

yupp I agree with the others

I also hope it wont be the cover.. she looks too shocked there ;)

If that's the cover, I don't have a problem. It kinda fits the title.

Nah.. yesasia does the same too. Look at the cover. It's from a-nation XD

i guess it's just temp image, the same is used as profile photo on HMV

wow...

yup not official!!

i sw it on CD Japan as well

I'd be very sad if that was the cover. _-_

It is from CDJapan.

I supposed it's only temporary image or cover from photobook but when I saw it at Disc Station I changed my mind. They have official covers earlier than many other online stores (they had Koda Kumis's Best First Thing hq covers before information about Kumi's new album was add to her official site) and if they haven't official cover they adding white temporary image with "now printing". So I'm sure on 99.9% it's official cover but probably it's only cover of paper-box with first edition package (album + photobook). Here is bigger version:

Just As CDjapan so I might be part right

I think we should make sure about it in next days - probably when single will be released they will change layout and add more info about new album. Now we now official title - surely they will add official cover and tracklist soon because album will be in stores for month!

The picture itself is not bad but so... normal. And so B&D-ish..

hahha, she looked like she sneezed XD jkjk~ hahha, well, its an ok cover..doesnt look very cover-y tho =S

i think its pretty good pics for the cover
but its really dissapointed if ayu use the same image as her bold and delicious
and i think ayu still have so much money for taking a different photo session for her new album

only a promo pic.

Umm...I like her ring XD
it's a cute pic. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the cover.

wow. At first glance, I saw that it was Bold and Delicious. It may come first in the magazines, I suppose.

i think its cute ^0^ i wouldnt mind if it was the cover, i like it! hehe

No. It's not a shoot from Bold & Delicious.

Go on. Watch the PV again, and then come back and tell me if you see her doing that even once.

It could be some stupid thing from the making or whatever, but it's not a shoot from the PV.

eh, I hope it isn't the cover...

Cover Pic
 

Great cover if it is indeed confirmed. I LOVE the pic :love . So much better than My Story.

I wouldnt like it as cover of (miss)understood, it doesnt give me the feeling that it is how should I say it, it doesnt look for me like a cover like the previous ones (I mean albums) I hope ayu comes with sth else

No text, the size isn't right either. It looks like it's straight from a film. I don't buy it.

I hope it isn't. I'm hoping for some amazing photoshoot that would make the title not matter. xD

EDIT: It might be a screenie from Pride maybe?

If she recycles more images from B&D for the album, I'm going to be really upset. D:

I also recalled seeing the Namie Amuro DVD cover on CDJapan before anywhere else, and I thought it looked pretty fan made. Then it got confirmed on the official site, so no idea if its authentic or not. T__T

It's not a very interesting pic, it would be okay if it was just the cover for the whole set, and not the actual booklet cover - will wait and see.

I don't really mind. I like the picture, to be honestly... honest.

Ok if she did that cover it would be pretty odd. I don't know what to think about it.

i think it's a promo pic... (like that whic came with mistakes in my story booklet...)

The picture is very pretty, however I would like something NEW... I don;t want the booklet and photobooks to be in the New-York style :/

I don't think it is the cover. I hope it isn't.

I hope so too ;)

I like the picture! I just hope that it's not the cover because there's no text >_<

Don't worry, there'll be text.

... Hopefully.

Duty had "ayumi hamasaki", I am... had "I am...", RAINBOW had "RAINBOW", Memorial address had "ayumi hamasaki" and MY STORY had "MY STORY".

Did A Song for XX and LOVEppears have text? I don't think they did, but they were her two first albums, so yeah.

I wouldn't mind if this image was used on the cover.

it might be a concept or a preview of what the cover will look like ^^

No it's a temporary cover. eVe @ Affection e-mailed CDJapan and they claimed it is a temporary image.

The Onimusha site updated with a new Ayu pic and the pictures used before were the actual covers of MY STORY and Bold & Delicious / Pride, which could mean...

http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/9...toayumi0mp.jpg

They added a heart too.

http://www.capcom.co.jp/shin_onimush...ion/index.html

I don't think it is the cover...
BUT!
I am pretty sho there will be a HEART on the album cover! :yes Cuz there is also a heart on the official website.

That heart looks so tacky, let's hope it's just something temporary

It would sorta go against the trend if she had the same "look" as from her last single... it'd be weird... although the picture is alright I guess. Fits the title.

Okay, I wrote CDJapan just to clear it for us.
Here's the mail they sent me back:

Actually, the past picture they used was just a promotional picture for B&D, the one from the flash on the Ayu official site. This will probably either be a) nothing to worry about or b) a cover of one of the photobooks.

Definitely, Ayu wouldn't reuse the NY image from B&D/Pride as her cover xD

Heh, I can't imagine them picking a photo of her covering her unique nose. i_i

I don't like them at all...no...

I am appalled by the cover choice..........................................

I hope they are PHOTOBOOK's covers ;( I don;t like em at all!!!

I think this would be the cover to B&D single and the B&D single cover was going to be the album cover and, for some reason, they decided to change.

But yes, I like it but not very much. It seems like a fan made cover with the Paint-made heart and all...

I dislike them ._.

disappointed.............it seems like a fake.........i hope it is PHOTOBOOK's cover insead of album cover!!!!!

the one with her smiling looks like a monkey in ZOO xD

and i really hope that's just photobook covers...

I really don't think those are the cover shots...the description talks about the photo books. I really think those are the photo book covers. Seriously, they don't even have the album title written anywhere.

So that's a SMILE you say? LOL

But it really DOES look horrible... so i can not describe it better than you ;)

If that's the cover, I'm a bit disappointed. However, even though it is on the official site, you never know. They might just be using it as a picture to represent it. I'd believe it if it looked more... eh.. official. :eyebrow

I mean... she certainly looks cute. But, a photoshop style heart... and no text at all? Heh.

Agreed... way more likely to be the photo book. Let's hope.

Not impressed by them. The lack of text does suggest the photobook covers. If thats true, seems all (?) the photobook pictures will be those shot in NYC.

oh i dont like the cover
it loos to plain and uninspiring

-_-; this is QUAINT

-Jiji from "Kiki's Delivery Service"

ohh.... no!!!!!!!!!!
please ayu.. please....

Eww... I'm disappointed

anyone can read japanese???? maybe those are the photobooks covers anyone?

I think that pictures are belong to her photobooks cover..

I think they might be the photobook covers too. If they are, I like the CD+DVD one better than the CD one.

yeah I think so too, see how is highlighted in yellow?? plaseeeeee :thud

They are just photobook covers, i keep telling myself, no way, they can't be the covers, please, ayu........

Those aren't the album covers. Trust me. :yes

:no

I'm not impressed at all. Not one bit.

That little annoying voice in the back of my head keeps telling me these are the photobook covers, though. Bah.

Am I the only one who likes them? O_O I found the whole NYC thing awesome! I need more than two PVs you be fully satisfied :P I love the CD+DVD cover, but am a little scared of the CD cover.

They might be photo book covers after all though...

CD+DVD not bad

it can't be~~~~
 

i HOPE it is photobooks covers!!! because there are ny pics, and ayu is wearing that dress... aw...
I don't think that it is cd covers. Ayu don't use to show the covers so soon...don't u think...? maybe 15 days before, but not one month!
anyway i feel dissapointed ayu is not using her hear actually! other photoalbums were more original...:thud

CD+DVD cover looks nice, but I still hope that it is a photo album cover. I agree that it should look more "official" to be a real album cover. The CD version is a bit scary o_o
Thanks for the info anyway!

I'm scared that it may actually be official. It is in the official site after all. However the main focus of the flash pages were about the limited edition releases which includes a photobook. So there's still hope that this won't be the covers! Yay!

The CD only picture is awful. It looks like she's trying too hard to smile only it looks creepy.

The words by each pic isn't new info, it summarizes hit songs, talks about including PV clips and new clips only available for the CD+DVD set. Lastly, it mentions that the pictures in the photo books will be different (it doesn't specify if all or only some of the pics will differ).

It also doesn't specifically say that those pictures with the hearts are the actual cover of the CD. I sort of hope not because the heart on it looks so poorly photoshopped.

o.O I didn't expect these to be covers but they are sweet =)

i really don't think these are the covers of the cd's, i think they are only temporary images. i can't imagine reusing this photoshoot for the cover...or using that weird heart thing.

NO,THEY AREN'T
 

I'M SURE THEY ARE THE PHOTO ALBUM COVERS
Yes....the photo album covers...or at leat.what ARE inside the photo albums.
ok.let me explain my own way...ayu never RELAESED her record covers so fast...it should be 15 days before the actual release or 2 weeks before...MY STORY covers were released on 1st Dec 2004....2weeks before 15 Dec. 2004.
and WHEN the covers are out....there WILL be newest announcement on WHAT'S NEW section...ok............i think it helps

Bleh =/

I don't like them very much, but they're better than the My Story cover. The way she smiles on the CD version is odd.. I hope they're from the PBs.

I hate these covers!

WTH!!!NOOO!~ common...plz change dem!~ AVEX! dissapointed!

also, these have no text on them. when was the last time ayu had a cd cover with no text on it? never. :yes

sankyou!

and Wait for the large version might be better...

mmmh.. probably photooboks cover since she has the whole black hair ayu look... and yes the CD version is bad I hope they change their mind...

NOOOO! Ugly. I don't like the whole NYC thing again...

I hope it's the photobook's cover... Anyway. CD+DVD cover is cute.

it's really really really bad!!!
I don't hope tha tis album coversssssssssss
OMG!!!

why she keep using the same look B&D!!!! It's Ugly!!

What did i tell you? :B

shouldn't the thread title be changed? this isn't official or confirmed just yet. :yes

Doesn't say whether or not they're the photobook covers... But it seems like CDJapan had the right cover.

Kind of scary... I don't like 'em.

I don't like them. It's too simple, it's too "bold & delicious" them, it's too "made with paint" it's too uggly...
I hope that this... """""photos""""" are covers of photobooks...

Where are creatives covers like I am... or rainbow?!!!

they're like simple and stuff...but i guess they're alright...

hmm its not what I expected...
but I really think those are just the photobook covers *praying*

I think it's quite cute :)

¬_¬ .. .. No.. just.. NO.
.. pleas tell me this is a joke?
that smile is just.. >.<
