The A BALLADS cover (Ayu hugging another Ayu) really is pretty but for some reason, i thought it kinda looked "lesbo"..haha..In fact, i used it as a userpic at friendster (similar to myspace) once coz i really thought it was pretty then after a week, i received friend requests from..uh..lesbians..thinking that they probably think im one too.. then i totally changed my picture ryt away..haha..
I think the BEST BEST cover would be A BEST for me..it may be so simple and dramatic but when i first saw it, i couldnt take my eyes off of it..As if i saw something soo full of meaning..

A Best did have a pretty/simple cover/photoshoot. Ayu looks very serious/full of emotion on that album cover.

I want to buy A Ballads just for the RAINBOW song, but buying the japanese version for only one song is just too much, at least for me. So I'll buy the OS version and consider it as buying an Ayu single...

I don't really even think about that anymore. I don't think many people on here do, actually.

Just 'cause it has two girls [or two Ayu's] hugging doesn't mean they're gay

Yeah. There could be SO many other explanations and scenarios. And I don't really think Ayu meant to give off a homosexual image. IMO, it's a good way to show that you need your memories. For example, one Ayu represents the past, and the other represents the present. She decided to get across what she meant in a very unusual way, though...

^ She does the same thing with the RAINBOW video. I think it's unique, and it's cool too.

I personally loved the RAINBOW cover...it is most appealing to me, but I do agree that A BALLADS has a beautiful cover. I also liked the pictures in the Memorial Address album.

My sister loves the Memorial address booklet. She got her fancy mirror, wrote 0630 on it in lipstick and made me take a picture of her lying down next to it. xD

I never liked the Memorial Address cover... That is prob. the main reason I never purchased the album, only downloaded... Even though I adore the album 100+

I feel so touched whenever I look at the cover...

It's like healing your heart by yourself...

It's definitely my most favourite cover from ayu and even other artists.

SEASONS has the best art, hands down. The innocence potrayed in ayu's expression and the sadness that elevates from the photo is just beautiful. I would buy that single only for that cover.

I also like Free & Easy's cover for the theme.

Anybody have the same obsession with me about A ballads cover?
yeah I was forever flicking through the booklet and looking at all the pics when I first got my copy. Although there are loads of other Ayu/jpop CD covers/booklets I love to look at!
