RAINBOW's booklet...

Ok,this may sound so random.
But I can't really help out but say this:

Isn't RAINBOW's booklet UGLY,REPETITIVE and BORING?

It kinda really ruins the whole album for me.
I was thinking of buying it because everything else is beautiful (as well as songs,but we're not talking about that now...),but when I think about booklet...

And the worst thing is that the picture with Ayu's head repeats throughout the WHOLE damn booklet like it's something so damn important.Only things that are changed on her face are tears,and opened/closed eyes and smile (I think).


I'm not saying anything against the album,but I'd like that booklet was better.

What do you guys think about it?

Well,ok,that's your opinion

I think that it would be nicer if it weren't repeating that pic over and over...

HUH??...EXCUSE ME WHAT?

DID I EVER SAID I WILL NOT BUY IT?

I mean chill out,I just said what I thought about the booklet,and I don't think if having different opinions is RETARDED.

And I didn't expect someone to say this...really.

Okay,look,I'm sorry.I didn't mean anything bad by this.But can you please stop insulting me? (yes,you did insult me)
I'm really sorry if I offended you by any means,I didn't mean to.

And then again,I never said that I wouldn't buy it just beacuse the booklet is ugly and I never said "the pirate I will be" or whatever.

I also hate the booklet.And really micster you shouldn't have said that,I mean it's really mean.It's just like she said to you all who like the booklet "Oh,you all who think the booklet was nice,that's just the most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life!"

RAINBOW is my favourite album too,but I don't like the booklet.
I think that Chiharo meant this too.

I think it's quite beautiful, and it meshes well with the sound of the album. It's not my favorite, but I wouldn't say it's boring. Secret was boring to me, GUILTY kinda is too except for the white dress.

It's not my favorite, but I don't think it's ugly and when I saw it, I didn't even wait one second to grab it and buy it. I personally like rainbow things, so I thought all the colors looked nice together.

It's a beautiful booklet.

the middle opening section is stunning.

the pictures of her with the hawk are simple and reflect the wide range of color this album shows.

I think, from reading a lot of the threads in the past, a really good portion of the members feel that album has some of the best album art out of all her albums. It seems to come up a lot.

As for me...I like some of the pictures. Others not so much.

I just said I thought the booklet was ugly.
And I asked for your opinions,and you got in and really made me feel terrible.
Look,I'm sorry if I offended you or your favourite album,and maybe I didn't express myself well about the thing I wanted to say.
I really don't want to fight with anyone,and again,my apologizes.

To be honest I Am... is the worst and most repetitive, but is an awesome album, I love the Rainbow booklet, GREAT album, each track different, and yet similar, so I loved it. The booklets shots were just beautiful with all of the face shots, and such, I love the last page of the booklet cause she has that beautiful dress on.

Mm. I don't think the photos look repetitive, I like the concept... it's definetely not her worst booklet IMO...

But I don't like it that much because her face looks weird. It's probably just me, but there's something different about her face in the RAINBOW booklet shots. It bothers me a bit~ but it's still a good booklet...

which pic were your talking about. Because if your talking about the RAINBOW-Mohawk-Parrot thingy they aren't the same. One's with her looking at the sky, the other is half of her face with a tear running down the side of her chin, and the other is with closed eyes and tears.

There also pictures of her dancing in rainbow colored scarves and a fold out of her sleeping in RAINBOW colored water.

The front is of her metallic blue siting in water, the back is of her metallic blue booty.

Which one's were repeating again?

EDIT: seeing a scan and holding the booklet in your hands is an entirely different feeling. The feel of the booklet is really soft and Its her best honestly, because she has (not repition if the pictures are different ) a theme.

Unlike her newer works which is nothing more than Ayu posing in expensive dresses with jewels.

So yeah, seeing it on a computer screen is way different than seeing it upclose.

And, which one's were repeating again?

I so want to forget about this thread,it was a mistake.

Well,xiaou-xijiang,I thought about seeing how really booklet does looks like by holding it in my hands rather than just looking at the scans on the internet.
Thanks for advice

So,you guys discus it,but I don't feel like I want to go to this thread anymore...I made a fool of myself.

I find RAINBOW'S booklet to be pretty creative. I don't care about the repetitions or whatnots. the mohawk photos are my favorite
