Sorry for the double post, but the covers for ONENESS has just come out! (And almost the same day as Ayu's A ONE!)

Limited Edition (CD/DVD)


Regular Edition (CD only; iTunes cover?)

In my opinion, the cover is...well...not so epic. There is an obvious negative - so obvious that I am really changing my mind to actually not buying it - the text just doesn't seem to fit pretty well. Not a fan of them, main concern is the light on light text. Most obvious on the CD-only cover - YELLOW on WHITE! WHAT!? Yeah, not liking it. miwa herself is epic success...but the text - that's an epic fail for me.

I just don't understand why the graphic designers put the text in such a way that doesn't impress us. Even the CD+DVD cover looks like wordart to me (remember wordart in Microsoft Word?). It's too 'cheap' to say for such a major album release.
