@Andrenokoi:
Hm, emi just spoke about that Kuu's concepts and stuff is normally well produced (hence on point). No matter how uncreative and obvious they are or might be.

They may be, but they still aren't anything to write home about IMO, as she executed all of them on the easiest way possible

It's like having Ayu in front of a giant Rainbow on the cover of Rainbow...

[My Rainbow]

the album is on itunes JAPAN

Can you guys put those big covers under a spoiler? You're stretching my screen and it's annoying because I'm trying to read all the shade people are throwing at one another.

[AyUmIXx]

it looks nice..
but the color turns to blue..hmm

I would totally be fine with that, as long as it was the best fucking picture of Ayu with a Rainbow I'd ever seen in my life and I was blown away lol Maybe the rainbow is made out of diamonds. Or maybe Ayu looks the prettiest I ever see her look with the most perfect hair, and the perfect outfit. Maybe the text of "Ayumi Hamasaki" and "Rainbow" is perfectly placed and gorgeous.

That's the idea of production quality.

Koda might have the stupidest, most vapid concepts. She might have an album called Kingdom, and on the cover, (so uncreatively) she's wearing a crown. But fml she's going to be absolutely fabulous doing it in a way where everything looks well done and like some effort went into it.

I haven't been able to escape the "Ayu does everything half assed" comments in years.

Namie's naked, in black and white, with heavy make-up, doing symbolic gestures. Ayu's wearing a top/dress, and looks natural and fresh, surrounded with light. NOTHING ALIKE. lol

idk people were talking about Namie, and it's just funny that both of their heavy edm albums feature really minimal, stylistic covers.


Random:
- I can't believe shade is a word now.
- I hope the fact that the text doesn't have a grain means that it's raised or on a slip cover.

I think it's time for me to finally preorder my CD ver.
I'm very very satisfied with this album! What an amazing present ayu gave us! Great songs, awesome covers... I'm a little disappointed with Lelio's PV, but that's the only downside of the album for me so far.

[My Rainbow]

them bitches at JPopsuki uploading a bunch of no1currs but no Colours in AAC iTunes+

refreshing the page like there's no tomorrow

@emi♡
And I just love that Ayu's album covers aren't a literal interpretation of the album's title with her looking fabulous... Rock'n'Roll Circus/Secret/Memorial Address aside, her album art expand the album interpretation instead of just reinforcing its title. She can look beautiful, glamurous, awkward, bizarre, ugly and it fits the concept of the album more often than it doesn't.

If I just wanted catchy radio tunes with a woman looking fashion-shotey beautiful on the cover while cosplaying I wouldn't go for Ayu... or Hikki... even Madonna.

edit: On a side note... "I wish Ayu would stop following trends and being avant garde like Namie (???)!" And then we get Colours and people are still complaining.

[Zahara]

I had no idea she was even coming out with an album.

The past four years, her music's been boring. I hope this one makes her interesting again.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I really like these covers! They're very pretty and interesting. There's something nice and tasteful about it, like it's not over the top or anything. Very flattering!

November4 I was going to reply, but LUOYUXIANG's post summed up everything I wanted to say. And I cannot agree more to him/her than I already do now.

(Maar het is leuk om een keer weer eens Nederlands te hebben gelezen op het forum! Yay!)

As a graphic design major who has taken a typography course I can honestly say I like the font and the color and the design and the placement and the random capslock.

[Andrenekoi]

^As a graphic design major I'm really pleased with everything too...
The cover with the letters on her eyes happen to be my favorite...

Although I appreciate some of the discussion going on, please make sure you are respectful to other artists whilst making comparisons. You may not be a fan, but it means your possibly viable other points will be lost by others because of you bringing down it all with insults unnecessarily.

Some posts have been removed - instead of continuing any disagreements, please report posts you feel are not contributing to the discussion or are generally side-tracking from the main point of this thread, which are the new album covers for Ayumi.

That smile is like someone told her to smile and she really didn't want to...

It's like she was originally smiling so they had to photoshop it on!
