Of course the covers are important. It's artwork. Marketing.
I wanna be able to look at something nice. Especially when I won't be listening to the actual CD that much (iPod). Actually, I never buy Ayu's singles, except Days/GREEN and BLUE BIRD CD+DVD because the songs were really good AND the covers were amazing. The covers definitely are a deciding factor when it comes to singles. If they are absolutely stunning then they suck me in. Especially if the CD comes with a poster (like BLUE BIRD). I have two A BALLADS posters because that's my favorite CD artwork and the first poster I ordered came a bit crinkled on on end so I ordered a laminated one too. Lol.
