Album covers: CD+Blu-ray is my favorite (though I likely won't get that version anytime soon, unfortunately), while the crop is a bit weird it does give a stronger sense of intimacy (not that her smoldering expression didn't give that already ) and I think that fits very well with the album.
The position on the CD+DVD cover is just too awkward for me, lying on your chest like that, and the small top she's wearing make things look worse... but once again, it gives a stronger sense of intimacy and even vulnerability, which I like.
The CD-only is okay, but so generic. It's like the one of the "Feel the love / Merry-go-round" covers (the TA one, possibly?) and it feels like I've seen so many other albums/singles looking almost exactly like that. At least it still fits with the intimacy/vulnerability theme I'm getting from this album.
The font is very meh in my opinion, and it might simply because the images are so LQ but to me it actually looks like it could have been added with MS Paint and ugh...
CDL Covers: The expression... the awfully unrealistic shading/lighting (especially on the dice/cube that Ayu is sitting on)... her position... her outfit!
The only word I can say to it is "No". At least the the purple "doors" look cool with their design and the font fits well with it, but still, an overwhelming "no" from me.
