Rock'n'Roll Circus - COVERS
 

Thanks to angel ayumi for these Covers! :) :clapclap
I Like the CD+DVD cover mutch more than CD only. :P How about you guys?
Shes looks... weird.. in CD only cover...

Lets try to make creative comments... :yes

Amazing! Thanks for the new thread.

WoW, thought it was a fake at first time, wtf, we're sunday...
By the way the CD+DVD is original with the writing on here face, but i really find the CD only ugly, Hair + Hat + Eyes + Mouth + Pose, i HATE it !

I woulf have prefered the lollipop shoot for the covers, too bad...

well

i dont know.... it doesnt surprised me at all coz i've seen that pic too often :P

and her expression?? doesnt look like a circus to me....

hell yeah it was just like shimomura pose :D

Like i knew, soemone always creates new threads for everything <.<
Next time I´ll do that from the beginning I guess...

i guess its quite weird cover for the cd only because of the flashlights.its quite overexposure.i'm not sure if they did it on purpose or not.but it definitely look weird with the flashlight

I'm so so happy over how these turned out. Love the CD+DVD but really like the CD only too. I had no idea seeing the new covers would make me want them both. Geez, I already have the CD+DVD ordered at CDJ and the box set ordered at PlayAsia... do I seriously need a third copy of this album? LOL

Way to go Ayu ~ it's simply BEAUTIFUL. :)

CD+DVD is gorgeous.
The CD only could have been better, some of the offshot pics were so much better than that one!

Ayu looks so natural xD Not overly photoshopped.

I like them, they aren't the best she had as they're somehow messy, but the CD+DVD is quite satisfying ^^

CD+DVD > CD only

wait till it is released then only buy from play-asia.you'll get the free shipping.:lech

angel*ayumi... the mods here said that a new thread should be created whenever something new came out, regardless of an "official information" thread.

I love the covers. Best covers for years! I'm happy.

offtopic: i didnt want to step on your toes angel ayumi :) People were just saying that someone should create a new thread and i did that :D

I guess I am too used to other Forums XD

The cd+dvd cover is her best album cover since secret. I also like the cd only too but I think the vivi offshot of that cover is better...but I'm completely satisfied! :banana1

:yes:yes:yes

Finally!

And she looks soooo young! I was maybe looking for a more fierce look for the name Rock n' Roll Circus. Like the looks in Rule/SPARKLE single covers. That would fit better. But yeah other then that, I guess i find them decent. :)

OH SNAP. Now I'll be obsessively refreshing the official site until it's updated with a new theme, haha.

I'm very happy with the CD+DVD covers. All the love for England, too. <3 <3 <3

now waiting for the tracklist.....

OMFG!!!!!!!

i love it!! ahhhhh... can't wait!
Gettting reaaaalllly excited now!!!!! :D :D :D

now i want the full tracklist!

Well, to be honest, I guess it was made a "rule" to avoid having people scrounge around threads, which makes sense imo.

Currently, the album information thread's first post is kind of scrambled around anyway, but I don't think organization will really be necessary considering there's only a tracklist to come out now...

I wonder if they'll use a different picture for the limited box.~

OMG!!

finally!! the natural version of photoshopping skill!! i love the cd+dvd version....everything so perfect on it♥~

omg, I like it so much
maybe Ayu shouldn't be looking toward camera for the CD only cover...
She looks more natural in the CD+DVD ver ;)

I love both of them! :love

I though the cover will be FIERCE ROCK LADY-ish but this is so cute !!!! :heart
I love the CD+DVD more !!!! :D

I am pretty sure they will.
I hope it will be up soon, I´m dying to see this XD


@true
mhh, yeah this forum seems to have a lot of more posting members then others XD


Now I want the tracklist XD

and her pose is so Ai otsuka-ish...

cute~ and I love it, especially CD+DVD

and the CD only version isn't that bad, yeah.. it's just the overexposure of camera light :D come on guys~~

maybe the person we all can blame is Kazuyoshi Shimomura! LOL

I love the CD+DVD one! She looks so natural and cute <3
The CD only one is meh though :no

Yeah... ND CHOW shot these though and they're great!

Kazuyoshi Shimomura should have his picture-taking fingers cut off imo. -hides-

not much of a theme LOL wooow she actually showed us a shot of her and that phoone booth before the covers came out

i'm surprised the dvd is just a close up of her face

but ya, dvd- VERY PRETTY
cd- she looks old, sorry guys

BUT I LIIIIIIIIIIKE THEM so yahoo i can gladly say i have never been dissappointed with a cd+dvd cover by her =]

makes me a lot more content with the title now.

NOW COME ON TRACKLIST! 15+ !!!!!!!!!!

The CD+DVD is okay (which is good since that's the one I'm getting) but wow CD only looks...special.

I like the effects used, but her face is just...what. :laugh

I'm having flashbacks to mu expressions, only on a different scale.

Could be worse, could be better, not gonna complain much considering.

Exactly! in CD only she looks kinda like.. "empty" .. :) Or at least imo..... I was looking more rockkish too , but these arent bad. Now i can just hope there really is rockkish songs on the album..

Looks like that exact shot was used... haha.

CD+DVD is pretty damn awesome. CD only is okay too, but definitly prefer CD+DVD.

^^ There are more better pics than the one she used on CD only cover..

Great covers! Thankfully it has nothing to do with Monkeys and Clowns on the cover!!

That CD only shot is terrible...couldve made her hair more perfect :( the cd+DVD is good though.

Although over all it seems like more of a single shot than an album shot for me.

I liked the concept for NL more.

wow

an indeed British cover!!!

i'm waiting for the larger pics!!!!!

I'm really feeling the covers. Natural, adorable, Ayu. :heart

CD+DVD is better to me for now, but they're both pretty darn awesome. <3

lol agreed! I kind of have a phobia against clowns especially... :nervous

they are VERY cute yes!!!!!!!!!!!!
my fav is the cd+dvd cover she looks so cute!!!!

Thanks for sharing! And apparently, daylight savings time here in Seattle is coming up in an hour...

I really love both cover so much!!!
Can't wait to see the whole limited box set cover xDD~

IMO, she is usually better in studios for her album covers. So far, the outside shoots [GUILTY and Rock'n'Roll Circus] have just kind of looked "good" but not "album worthy"...

I bet there'll be some hot magazine shoots that could be amazing covers, haha.

djgfhsdjgksdlgdkgjfljgdfxsgbndjcovers.

...Hmm.... I must admit these aren't my favourite covers but I like the text and the kinda Union Jack design. Ayu's face looks a tad strange to me on the CD+ DVD to me but again, I'm happy. It might just take some time to get used to them.

Off to make set! :D

This is kinda like the first time people drool over CD+DVD cover over CD only cover..

I'm glad I got the CD+DVD. I didn't really mind the cd only until I see lots of comments about it. But really.. the only thing I can complain about the cd only is her mouth. It will be better if it's a fish mouth (cuz I dun mind fish mouth). It's like.. she's trying to smile but didn't have enough time to do so before the camera flashed..

Really? I thought CD+DVD is generally an okay cover when it comes to Ayu albums since (miss)understood...

Remember the smile?

Yea! It is kinda annoying to have Circus always associated to Clown and all. ;D

I actually like CD only more, it's more special and "high-end"

i liked both covers :yes


i like how they take me back to GUILTY, but the air that these covers give me is really lite and fresh (even that they seem a lot more dark)

I like how pale she looks xD and I also liked that they put the name of the album on her chick (where more anyway?? xDDD)


the CD only is obviously gonna look weird to some people, to me it just look ayuish.



i like how they made them different to any cover that she's done before :D

Ehh that one is the exception :P (they didn't like the cd+dvd anywayz, but the hatre wasn't as deep as cd only was), but usually people prefers her cd only covers (albums and singles).

Now that you've mentioned it... it seems like the majority of album covers are shot in studios. I think it's nice to have outside shots some of the time :D.

agreed!!

now waiting for the photobook cover (and the box design!!)

Thanks Jiarong! The text should be like the Cd only version and not on her face. Oh wells, it still looks great thought.

btw I hate the font for "Rock 'n' Roll Circus" SO MUCH. That gothic font okay... bleh

lol. I never know you are actually phobia against clowns. ha

Usually i like CD only ver covers more than CD+DVD
but this is the exception :D

AMAZING!!!!
That covers are really different from what she did before. There is another atmosphere.

Ah, oh yes. Remember that the Limited Box has another cover too apparently, haha. It'll probably be the best of the three...

Wow I'm impressed! We already knew this shoot, so nothing surprising there; but.. they're good! =)

totally agree.. like the booklet for my story was really good as a concept, and same with the shots for memorial address..

I feel almost like the CD+DVD shot could really have just been her anywwhere...like she could have just taken that wearing a jacket in a bath tub(for all we know)

Almost as if she didnt capture the environment enough (which i think was the whole point of this London inspiration)

I feel as though these covers were sort of just Ayu as a "ringleader" of her circus even though they're very... "I could've taken them anywhere" in style.

We'll probably see many GORGEOUS shots in the photobook, but I think a set of photos of her posing in front of Big Ben would've been much more grand and spelled out "LONDON" to people. Though at first, I felt that the telephone booth shoot was probably going to be where the covers were going to come from when I saw them in ViVi, haha. Creepy. (The hat and "spotlight" / "Union Jack" color lines though spell out London for this cover, even though it's really really really subtle for the most part...)

My Ayu-intuition is getting kind of scary.

Not too bad though i was hoping for a full body shot somewhere.
Lol, she definitely was going for a cute face in the CD only..
i love her eye makeup though..in the CD+DVD u can see it really defined

one thing..I think the kinda lines here and there are VERY COOL. like how GUILTY's font was slanted and all

the booklet is gonna be epic anyway..so who cares

mmm I don't like the way her face's like in the CD + DVD

but other than that , awesome , it's so very London inspired too !

haha, i don't really mean i'm afraid of clowns. what i mean is that i hate it when ayu uses clown concept as her cover (since kuu just used it for TRICK album)

anyway, the result came out way better than i thought XD

o yea, forgot to say..I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ARE OUT..OMG WHY ARE THEY OUT NOW ! lol...the projected date is like..23rd March omg

o and usually, her CD+DVD covers are the ones that have her face the camera...yet this time, its the other way around...hurray :thumbsup

btw what's the "spotlight" thing tat people are talking about?

at least they are not those stereotypical circus theme

The way that the lines are shaped resembles how spotlights look in the sky, which overlap to form a sort of Union Jack.

It could also be interpreted as "spotlights" from her Rock'n'Roll Circus, but veerrrryy loosely.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

sooooooooooooo cute
i can’t wait to buy all of them

I see... thank you. I thought the lines were supposed to look like the Union Jack or something lol

Come on people!! Did you want to have Ayu wearing a clown outfit just because the title says "CIRCUS"?

I like them!! They´re not the best but they are something new♥♥♥

those albums covers look fantastic. great job ayu! i'm actually tempted to order both versions now...

OMGG!!
The covers are so cuteeeeeee!!!
really loveee theemm ♥♥♥

I prefer the CD Only cover because of the writing on her face on the CD + DVD one =___=' it ruins the cover imo ! I would have loved the CD+DVD

I LOVE the CD+DVD cover! :love2
This is just amazing, really. The CD Only is ok, but the CD+DVD is really special to me. Her eyes are beautiful.

But the covers are out really early this time, aren't they?

:yes:yes:yes:yes

I love the CD/DVD Cover *-*
And it's the first time I think there are very different covers
other covers had the same something @.@ but these not
It's cool and I love both and I'm proud of me that I preored the CD/DVD at ya*-*

I really hope they did like Rock'n'Roll Circus is a tatoo on her face on the CD + DVD cover and not some text like that...

Very predictable =)
I like both covers, they are much better than NEXT LEVEL
CD only is better

Wow... just Wow!!

Those covers are awesome!!!

She really looks the best since like Secret covers and those covers are better than GUILTY and NL and some of the older albums imo.

They look kind of different from past covers she had I really like them.

They are not the most special thing but they have got a special touch. Great!

I really like the CD+DVD! She looks curious and super cute.

Her expression is weird on the CD only though....I think it's got something to do with how overexposed it is-you can't really see her top lip which makes her face look strangely long. Hopefully it's better in higher quality.

If you could add the white Rock n RollCircus on the red thing... that'd we perfect @_@

for the CD cover, i think that the photo in the ViVi showing the shoot would be even better than the final shoot lol

haha..yaya.the one shown on vivi is better than the cd only cover because they didn't adjust the colours,contrast etc on the vivi one.

I LOVE IT!! I thought they're so beautiful and fresh and cute. awesome! the CD+DVD cover is awesomeness. I'm so excited :D

Wow this came out of the blue.. :laugh These are really cute. :heart I love her hair. I wish her full outfit is shown in booklet pics at least or something though. Lol I just realized those are flowers on her jacket, I really thought the covers would be way... darker :P

i love them :heart

*-*those covers are fantastic!!the cd i like more than cd+dvd

im liking the CD+DVD one the more i see it :D

omg *-*

i looove the cover and of cos the CD+DVD is soo cute XDD

but eh,i'm not really surprise cos we have seen these photos in the Vivi magazine and it looks really not like a album cover more like magazine cover. really i would expect something weird or what,but yeah like she did with the album title,seems like Ayu had show us this cover in the Vivi XD

Well, that's cute, but looks pretty amateur-ish...

Overall I like it anyway :) CD+DVD over CD only

Wow those looks great definitely! I love the CD DVD better than the CD one

Finally I know that it's her,
Good photos and great fashion.
And no more fish lips XD

Wished it was more...colourful, but overall, I am quite satisfied. I guess I'm alone in liking the title on her face like that, lol. I'm hoping in the HQs it will look like it's painted on, rather than simply putting the title over her face or something like that, haha.

The CD+DVD cover is so much better and cute, while the CD only cover is terrible!

Noo! I love the text on her face. That makes me love the cover even more. The whole design = :heart

omg, I almost died when I saw the thread __-__ Like, really, I was eating a candy bar and choked xD

The covers are decent, they didn't wow me, but cd+dvd is quite lovely and original :yes
on cd only she has weird facial expression o_O
Overall, I'm satissfied :D
