A COMPLETE photobook

So that pic book is supposed to be unreleased shots of single covers right? Some of them look exactly like the released cover to me....What's the diff????

- vogue - I can't tell any diff at all
- INSPIRE - is the only diff a long shot vs close up?
- DayBreak - same as INSPIRE???
- forgiveness - another similar diff??

some of them I really nice...I'd rather they have the shot than the actual cover

Some of them really aren't any different at all All the ones you listed are the same (though it's nice to have some, like INSPIRE, textless) Many others were different from the single cover, but already published somewhere. Oh well

some in the photobook are just closeups of the single covers we have right now
but some are the same without the text, which i think is a cheap move, cause they'll still put the text on it after...so yeah..most of them are basically almost the same

vogue is a close up. An even closer close up than the orginal one.
F&E and Daybreak are both closeups of the face.
Nothing different for INSPIRE.
More of the top of forgiveness is shown. You don't see the "egg" anymore.

Others:
H was from the Blue booklet.
CAROLS, same everything (yes even the legs and the hands), I believe they just tilted ayu and added some flying hair using Photoshop. It IS possible.
BLUE BIRD and STEP you/is this LOVE? was from the lyrics sheet.
No way to say was just a slight change of expressions.
B&G is one of the many small pictures that act as the border in the actual cover.
AUDIECE, I managed to find one of the six in the actual one (yes, I was bored)
poker face, WAHTEVER, TO BE, M, UNITE! and & was released in a magazine before
The appears one was a alternative for LOVEppears, not the single.
Different leg and hand position for Fly high.
fairyland, same position as the CD+DVD cover, just that ayu's looking elsewhere.
HEAVEN, same as the CD+DVD cover, just that it's colored.
Startin'/Born To Be... was from the lyrics sheet.
evolution, same case with CAROLS. What's new? A smile. (I really liked that pic though)

That's about it.

yeah forgiveness is placed a little higher (her right hand isn't seen in full and theres more on the top) and (I'm not sure if this was intentional or from touch up) but its a bit darker and glossier. Inspire has just a bit more of photo on the right (when looking at it)

Are you sure about "SURREAL"? I could SWEAR I've seen that picture in a magazine before.

"WHATEVER" wasn't new, that picture was used for the single's poster. Same with "TO BE".

That's possible. The WHATEVER one I had seen one very similar, but not identical.

Here's a pic of the "WHATEVER" single poster so you can see...

Spoiler:


I think they photoshopped a bit of lipstick onto Ayu for the photobook version, but regardless, it's the same photo.

Actually TO BE is kinda-sorta new, now that I look at it... it's the picture from the "alternate" cover (shown in the CDL 00-01 book), but without the doubling & text & cropping. So we've seen the photo before, but... not really.

Yeah, I'd say that qualifies as having seen it before. Some of the others were the same too, just with a bit different cropping and textless.

So about half of the photobook was seen before.

the ones you named are actually the same original covers but from a different angle, or different colour, or just without the name of the single (like "INSPIRE" one) etc

same with free & easy I think...

^^

if you get the HK version CD (I believe same for TW version) it actually says on the cover 'never been released pics' which apparently isn't true
