Empry 11th August 2008 02:31 PM

extepan 11th August 2008 02:42 PM

waterballoon 11th August 2008 02:48 PM

Whoa... so it's official... well looks she's going for a glam album cover these days.

By the way, anyone has any HQ shots of the album covers?

the3ye 11th August 2008 02:49 PM

nooo~~~~

Teyla 11th August 2008 02:50 PM

I prefer 3CD one

CHAS_AYU 11th August 2008 02:50 PM

Wow! Both covers are awesome!

Beauty4123 11th August 2008 02:52 PM

3CD IS MY FAVORITE! :luv2 :luv2

truehappiness 11th August 2008 02:52 PM

Someone should retitle this to "A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ covers out!"

Just like I said last night..

Quote:

I imagine that this week will be the "reveal" week, as the release is about a month away now..

I sorta expect it to come in like a few hours, but.. eh.

Mid-2005 and onward of cover reveals compared to actual release dates:
fairyland c/w alterna: July 5th -> August 3rd
HEAVEN: August 23rd -> September 14th
Bold&Delicious / Pride: November 5th -> November 30th
(miss)understood: November 27th -> January 1st / December 27th
Startin' / Born To Be...: February 14th -> March 8th
BLUE BIRD: June 1st -> June 21st
Secret: November 8th -> November 29th
A BEST 2: February 5th -> February 28th
glitter / fated: June 29th -> July 18th
talkin' 2 myself: August 27th -> September 19th
GUILTY: December 6th -> January 1st / December 25th
Mirrorcle World: March 11th / March 12th -> April 8th
A COMPLETE: August 11th -> September 10th

An average of 20-some days to about 30+ days before the release..

miroro 11th August 2008 02:55 PM

her face in the 3CD one is strange...
but the 3CD +DVD is <3

ayu is startin 11th August 2008 02:56 PM

OMG thx the covers are sooo sweeeeeeeet =(^.^)=

Yeli13 11th August 2008 03:00 PM

just love it^^ I prefer the 3cd cover

everlastingRAINBOW 11th August 2008 03:02 PM

I knew the cover was real :P

Meat Pao 11th August 2008 03:05 PM

I'M SO HAPPY THE COVERS ARE REAL!!!!

I still like the 3CD+DVD one and yes, i know i once said it looked fugly but now the cover has grown on me <3 Ayu's face a little bit too contrasted though o.O

Lee_410 11th August 2008 03:06 PM

I didn't wanted that cover,but I don't care,I'll buy it anyways.The CD cover is pretty.

Deneb 11th August 2008 03:06 PM

wah, so that was true? meh, i like the 3cd 1 better :shrug guess it's avex's way of getting more money: the cover!

jiarongisme 11th August 2008 03:07 PM

YAY! It's official! I prefer the 3CD+DVD one. ayu looks like she is staring at nothing in the 3CD one.

kiyokitu 11th August 2008 03:11 PM

dun like it at all.... looks like a magazine cropped photo.... nowades avex lack creative director....

HanabiChick 11th August 2008 03:12 PM

I like the 3CD cover, the DVD version is very washed out and pale, not really a good pose or edit. The pics of the set were not so pale, so hopefully it'll look like that when it arrives.

stickyrice 11th August 2008 03:20 PM

I like both covers =) Can't wait to receive my copy now!!

Jwiz 11th August 2008 03:20 PM

I prefer 3CD's cover to 3CD+ DVDs' cover.

YAY waiting for the annoucement of new single =]]]]

truehappiness 11th August 2008 03:21 PM

I think they might've used a little too much "Lighten" when making these.. oi.

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

Suteisi 11th August 2008 03:21 PM

Holy crap she looks like Beyonce on the 3CD Only@_@!!

Well, I like the 3CD+DVD better...

xLitax 11th August 2008 03:22 PM

Not what I was expecting. But, beautiful, nonetheless. I will definitely buy it. :)

Yea the DVD's too pale... but I still prefer that to the CD only/

truehappiness: the CD only is too dark... and i think it should be 'screen'..

anyway too much photoshop from avex

Yeah, that's because the CD only is darker to begin with than the +DVD version. I did the same thing to both of them.

Ayumi27 11th August 2008 03:26 PM

I love both covers

se7entheaven 11th August 2008 03:27 PM

aw it's the cover ^^
pretty ........I want it soon.....
she re use her costume...and that hair...glam lady

but yeah she looks like beyonce

prussian blue 11th August 2008 03:31 PM

omg! 2 pf them are soooo gorgeous! i really like them! i'm so excited about this

~Tsubasa~ 11th August 2008 03:33 PM

OMG!!! The covers are so beautiful!!!! But I prefer the CD only one^^

alternarist 11th August 2008 03:39 PM

isnt that Beyonce????????

i like the 3CD cover better. ayu looks rather awkward on the 3CD+DVD cover with her face twisted to a side.

keikeiaznqueen 11th August 2008 03:45 PM

Ooh~ these are beautiful!

I like the 3CD+DVD one more. I think she looks prettier in that one~

darc_aqua 11th August 2008 03:46 PM

I wonder who was able to already get the album

VAL 11th August 2008 03:51 PM

the covers are cool! :D thanks!

kotora 11th August 2008 03:53 PM

She seems push her boobs in CD+DVD version a lot, and she seems to have the attitude that "hey, I have been active for 10 years, I am the queen of jpop now!"

Nice symbol of CD cover..

Aga-chan 11th August 2008 03:55 PM

I like the covers. The 3CD one is gorgeous. *___*

pride123 11th August 2008 03:59 PM

I like the 3CD+DVD
The cover reminds me of Kuu's KINGDOM. XD

Neo Daydream 11th August 2008 04:01 PM

BEAUTIFUL! ^^

Rebirthia 11th August 2008 04:12 PM

i had the feeling...
btw, the title A COMPLETE, wasn't changed, after all

ohhh, i don't know.. don't you think the angle for the cd+dvd is a little weird...

criminal 11th August 2008 04:14 PM

They're both just okay, but the 3CD version's pose is kinda better. o.o;

So and the background = http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/6...4rc0kg1.th.jpg
+ the pose is like from the May 08 ViVi cover.

AND basically, it's so weird seeing a picture of the Ayumi today next to song titles like poker face, YOU and Trust..

Kazeyomi 11th August 2008 04:19 PM

FINALLY *__*

those covers are very very gorgeous!! I like the 3cd cover and yes seems a lot Beyoncè ^^
Are better than A BEST 2 :3

MissElin_ 11th August 2008 04:24 PM

So they where true! Cool how it could leak so early!

I also like the 3CD version better. But oh well. I so want that DVD so... :P
Both are nice tough. But I kind of wanted some less Diva and more cute goes hapiness. But its nice.

ShiroMai 11th August 2008 04:25 PM

Oh my God, I TOTALLY want the 3CD version now. *______* This cover is gorgeous, although the one with the DVD has a better pose. I just love that there's something sharp and diva-ish in her look on the 3CD cover. ♥

elepop 11th August 2008 04:38 PM

Is it me or the color is just too bright?

Anyway. I don't think that the covers are that interesting. It's kinda like Secret. It's only about looking glamorous. :shrug Nah, I don't like it.

Hamasaki_Vaan 11th August 2008 04:42 PM

I agree, very Beyonce-ish กกก
Just cute, I was expecting for something more... exciting. I will get 3CD+DVD ^^

Raleigh 11th August 2008 04:43 PM

Wow that's hot

tokyoxjapanxfan 11th August 2008 04:43 PM

oh cool :) i like both covers :D excited to get this~ does anyone know what the backdrop is??? haha

me either. i think they're really boring. blah.

Diana 11th August 2008 04:44 PM

wai!! I'm glad those are real covers :D First one is awsome, but the second one is RRRR!! ^^ Thanx for the information!

freedreamer 11th August 2008 04:48 PM

love'em both! hahaha..
very glamorous..
and the panther is AYU's trademark hahaha..

i love the golden feel..

howtousesexy 11th August 2008 04:50 PM

I love the covers especially 3CD! :D

ownsarai 11th August 2008 04:58 PM

So it was in fact the real cover!
I really like both covers. :) Thanks for sharing the info~

ayumisrael 11th August 2008 04:59 PM

Wow I love the covers :love so glad they are the real ones!!

I'm happy I'm getting the 3CD+DVD!!!

Mirai Noah 11th August 2008 05:00 PM

I like the CD-only version better too. Luckily, that's the version I plan on getting!

Yep, boring. That's the word.

Kikaru 11th August 2008 05:01 PM

I like the CD version better, and I think the skin is a little too pale, but otherwise it's pretty. XD

If the box is indeed real (which now it looks like it is), I really like the single collage on the side.

love in music 11th August 2008 05:11 PM

both of them are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't wait until i get mine!!!

Libriya 11th August 2008 05:22 PM

AYUMI! Why???? CD-only cover is better then 3CD+DVD. :weep

Hatix 11th August 2008 05:39 PM

I prefer the CD+DVD one ;p (am I the only one who really likes the CD+DVD one?)

So that's where the teamayu photo came from ;p

ayu-marco 11th August 2008 05:44 PM

i like CD cover much more
but i will buy CD+DVD for the unreleased video ^^

pommy48 11th August 2008 05:48 PM

oh the 3CD is so much better, the cover isn't that artistic...well maybe if she wants to say, i'm 30 and still hot...lol

AH! agony...i want to buy..but then...i've spend too much this year...but i'll buy A COMPLETE and not a laptop...*start practicing begging face*

maybe the CD looks better is because, avex want people to buy CD only for the cover, and CD+DVD for the dvd contents~

No I love the 3CD+DVD cover too, she looks like she's getting or**** and it makes me get it myself lol. She looks gorgeous.

zoomzoom 11th August 2008 05:53 PM

Definitely prefer the 3CD+DVD, the CD-only is like "uuuuhh"-face.

DogboyShugo 11th August 2008 05:58 PM

Can't wait until it's out! I'm so getting it

arisu_1love 11th August 2008 06:01 PM

Oh. My. God.
I really really want this~! Plus, it's really not that expensive, but I am so broke right now....*cries*

Blasterion 11th August 2008 06:01 PM

I don't really like the covers, I think they look kinda .. bland.. not too special.
But still the 3 cd one is the better of the two.

Chibi_Venus 11th August 2008 06:06 PM

Interesting...

Well, I'm neither jumping up and down for the covers nor disappointed with them. However, it will take some time for them to grow on me.

Thank you for the information!

SolarAngel 11th August 2008 06:12 PM

Lol! So after many pages of wondering "is this the cover, is this not?" we got the answer! Thanks for posting this :)

The CD-only has a much nicer cover IMO. You know what? I think it's an avex marketing conspiracy. The main attraction is probably going to be the DVD with unreleased stuff so they predict super poor sales for CD only and decide to buff it with a gorgeous cover. And it has got to be nicer than the CD+DVD version to work. Otherwise, people won't care much for owning both versions even if the CD-only is nice as well.

Anyways, i'm pleased :love

maikaru 11th August 2008 06:13 PM

I really like them.
I think the intent was to be glamourous. This isn't new materials right?
She's just celebrating her anniversary.. that's meant to be glamourous~~

the lighting will also look slightly different on different computers, right?
So I think the box will be much darker.

I am really impressed with it~
It's so much improvement from last year's a best 2.

GRACE 11th August 2008 06:16 PM

I like them both, I wish I could have both =(

Oh well, I'm happy with the CD+DVD, the CD-only looks too much like the CD-only of the Depend on you version of Mirrorcle World.

kilia22 11th August 2008 06:29 PM

OMG ! I prefere 3cd version but she looks like beyonce so much :/

ComatoseBunnySnatcher 11th August 2008 06:30 PM

Ewww.

They look boring and ugly.

AyUta 11th August 2008 06:35 PM

I like them :) I thought right away of Beyonce though :laugh She looks very pretty.

kirei_ayumi 11th August 2008 06:36 PM

yay! they are real and both beautiful covers. can't wait to receive my copy :D
now wait for the HQ photos so I can make a set :)

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...izz/049330.jpg

the 3CD+DVD cover doesn't look bright here versus the one on the official site...

[kokoro♥] 11th August 2008 06:48 PM

^ Ahaha. Yesss..
HQ for a pretty new set >W<

amorphose 11th August 2008 07:04 PM

I pretty much agree with everyone else. I like the 3CD cover better.

Cyria 11th August 2008 07:20 PM

Very happy with the CD+DVD. I'd love to get a good look at the outfit.

jonneh 11th August 2008 07:23 PM

3CD + DVD = :love
Other one.....not so much.

Bonbon0507 11th August 2008 07:51 PM

WOW!!! They are really pretty! I like the 3CD one better than the 3CD+DVD one

Melrose 11th August 2008 07:53 PM

I hate the covers.

Can I cancel my order, please?

Melrose 11th August 2008 07:57 PM

You don't have to tell me that. : P

But seriously, I'm almost emberassed at those covers. Like, I wouldn't want people who don't know Ayu to see that as a first pic or something. Kind of like the LOVEppears covers. It gives a whole wrong impression of Ayu, like she doesn't have serious/moving music, but just some light random R&B stuff. ~_~ The cover gives me a very casual/whatever and spoiled impression (especially for a full compilation album). o_O It's kinda pretty..but as an ALBUM cover? No thanks. Those images imo should be left for booklets and magazines/photoshoots. But maybe later I can come up with some kind of connection between the cover and the content (like um imo that's how it should be). Imagine seeing an image of My Little Pony on a heavy metal album. It's just like that.

On the 3 CD version she looks stoned. Real bad.

Eh, honestly, I have to agree with you xD Don't get me wrong, the covers look gorgeous, but I was expecting something a bit more, I dunno, less divaish? O-o Plus, she doesn't even look like herself in the photos either ><; I wouldn't have minded something a bit more simple and beautiful than glamorous and in-your-face like that xD

Bigtop 11th August 2008 08:09 PM

Thanks for sharing!

namiie 11th August 2008 08:14 PM

So the leaked pictures were real indeed. Seriously, that would've been impossible to Photoshop.

I like the 3CD+DVD cover the best. The 3CD cover looks meh.

wut?

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'

GRACE 11th August 2008 08:32 PM

^I totally agree with you. All of her shots post-ASfXX have been relatively glamorous. If some people think these where bad, what did they think of Mirrorcle World's covers o_O

Delirium-Zer0 11th August 2008 08:51 PM

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". =\

Not that the photos aren't gorgeous - I agree with alot of other people here who think that the pictures are really nice. And at least they went with gold which says "anniversary", of course. But she didn't have to be so primped.
