I was surprised that it was the same, but it shows how much she has grown since then.

She's still just as beautiful now as she was then, and her maturity since then shines through. I think it's nice to sometimes look back and commemorate the past, especially past achievements. Kuu did the same with her 'BEST -Third Universe-' album, by re-imagining the covers from 'BEST -Second Session-, to commemorate her career.
I'll admit the picture is a bit static, it lacks a little less emotion than the 2003 cover...But at the same time I think she looks quite content.

With all the awesomeness she's done this year, I am looking forward to this Calender.
