This is the first time I'm saying it about a kuu album.
Awful covers.
Specially the CD+2DVD, it looks ridiculous, offensive, doesn't look like kuu, and the hair's horibble.

I think your negative feelings are mostly due to the theme being used before?

But from an objective viewpoint (or at least one that hasn't seen this type of cover used before) both aren't awful. @_@

^I have totally nothing against the concept, circus, magician not at all.
The idea is cool.
I don't like how the covers look like.
The cd only one is nice but still pretty plain (and that's not the version I'm going to order anyway). Remind me kuu from the affection era which is not bad.
(For the record I don't believe (or remember) I saw any circus themed cover before Melrose =P (I don't listen to the spoken anna tsuchiya stuff and never saw the cover so...)

The CD+2DVD brought me wierd negative feelings and when I looked at it my stomach felt funny =\. I really don't like looking at this cover. Let alone it doesn't look like kuu at all except for the chubby face. The only thing I might say about it is the make up's good.
I don't know, it might be the position and the facial expression. I just don't like it at all.

I'm personally disappointed with the covers. These covers had so much potential but Avex didn't use it.

as "artistic" as it may be i just think the cd+2dvd is bad and it doesn't even look like her... i hope this is a TRICK!!! hopefully it's like a slipcase cover and the rest will be normal because they could have played on this theme in such a better way.

i hope the theme is incorporated into her tour, just not so drastically.

Not what I was imagining but I like them both. She's completely normal than she does a spell and she changes into the second. Now you see me...Now you don't. I like how she covers the left eye in the other and then the right eye on other. Maybe she's a court jester performing a TRICK for the queen of KINGDOM.

Not her best album covers, but they went a different way with the theme. It's something I never thought she would do. Since she's hit the big time, she always has went the glamourous cover way. Not this time.

I was hoping for something SEXY. But the first cover is terrible and the second one, as someone mentioned already, is very artistic and that's why I like that one. I just wish Ku looked dirtier in them. Lol.

I really like the CD-only, it's simple and fits the whole "show girl" theme, and I like the pose.

The CD+2DVD is horrible, kill it with fire

the cd only version looks kinda cheap and her hair doesn't look very nice. The cd+2dvd version is surprising. She doesn't look like herself at all..lol...but atleast its different? XD

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!?! Whatever guys, I think these are AWESOME. The first one is hot and the second one is AMAZING. <3333333333 It's very ARTISTIC. Maybe I have more of an appreciation for it because of my art minor.

I was not expecting this AT ALL from her! I LOVE IT! I don't like anyone who has used a "circus/magic" theme before, so this is all very new to me. XD

I find it so weird when people say they like the CD-only cover better XD If it were just simpler (I find it a bit boring) I would understand... since so many people seem weirded out by the CD+2DVD one...

but am I the only one who thinks her neck looks REALLY weird in the CD-only cover? Like, too thick... or maybe too short... the way it connects with the head seems off...

I dunno. That pic just looks very very very wrong to me. The more I look at it the more it makes me nervous.

If she didn't have the make up and the blue carpet around her neck, I'd like the CD+2DVD cover
