Well, I personally feel that the covers were pretty hot.

She's already past her I am... days, people. I don't want to be rude, but please stop living in 2001 where she keeps giving meaningful single/album covers and what not.

If you look at it another perspective, this cover does have a certain meaning to it. Something like 10 years and she has gotten so much richer. =D Also, I really like the raw expression on the 3CD+DVD cover... it shows her attitude!

The gold backdrop also symbolizes the glam/BEST kind of aura if you ask me.

So, go Ayu!

@ namiie I love your set it's gorgeous =)

On another note: I love the covers of A Complete <3 To me it's a cover definately worthy of 10 years in the business. She looks glamorous *o*

I LOLed!!! If literature classes taught me anything, it's that you can squeeze meaning from a rock. There you have it. I'm sure in 10 years, most of us want to have that kind of 'meaning'

Well the marketing & promotion team always take the covers that are attractive and accessible to get into most of the crowd.
I guess most of the japanese that will buy that album will also like the covers (Therefore they chose those) XD

It's not so much that the covers are glitz and glam, it's that they just look kind of bland I think. It's mostly to do with the colors and lighting for me; everything just kind of blends in with each other. Not a very good move sales wise if you really want the product to stand out.

It's so surprising, but I gotta to agree with truehappiness,
Why do people think she is dull and no depth now?
These covers are better than missunderstood...
And My Story had the same concepts, I think..
Kind of sexy or mature~

I think people should stop expecting like some deep and meaningful thing..
She is style a fashion icon too,
And she likes clothes and these kinds of poses, right?
It's her anniversary, let her be a diva in her own way~ LOL

ahaha I just wanted to add~~
I think the songs inside the collection are deep and meaningful enough.
Like other people said, if you wanna to say she's shallow just cause of a box cover,
Then there's a problem, sorry..

But yeah, let her celebrate her own way,
Let her have her cover the way she wants,
Support her the way you should,
And let her be the queen and diva the way she was, is, and will be, and wants to be.
LOL~ and we can continue to listen to her~ and have fun with the random messages she has,
And the clips where she looks so cute~ ahaha..
Let's hope for 10 years more~ so we can have an even bigger singles collection.

LOL can you imagine... how expensive it will become? -w-;;
Better get a good job.

Love the make-ups and especially her EARRINGS! Gorgeous! But I don't like the color. It's better use the "A" Logo or something for the Anniversary.

The color of these covers looked too pale for me...

The covers are good. Not great, but good (a huge upgrade from A BEST2). Ayu looks gorgeous. I can definitely see the pose in the 3CD one as Beyonce-ish.

...because it's an "All singles" collection is why they're the same...

It never said she's re-recording anything but "Who.." as "Who... "10th Anniversary Version""

The songs are merely given a quality boost. So most likely it will sound better than A Best but around the same quality as A Best 2. I know i used to front-run the 'love A Complete cover' campaign but after seeing namie's best fiction cover, i wished... Oh well. I'll definitely buy this though because like some of you said, ultimately it's the content that counts. The problem are the on the fence fans. The cover would probably be the deciding factor for them.
