Album covers are beautiful and with a decent font- yes!
CDL, not so keen. I never liked the logo and I was kind of hoping for a good shot of Ayu on the moon singing Zutto... or that image of her singing Last Minute that she used as a cover photo.

Of course all the covers are absolutely gorgeous, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cd ver. The typography looks jagged with the other versions, but that might be just me xD;;. I like how it basically has the same atmosphere/style as the z.../lm/w single and I loved those covers. Totes excited for this release! Everything so far including the previews have been so gooood like Ayu hasn't kept me on my feet like this since...probably the Love songs era <3.

edit: ah, also, while I love the CDL picture itself, that logo still...irks me >>

CDL cover could have been better, AYU photo is perfect, just the background fails a bit, maybe if there was full background instead of that white light in the middle it would look better? dunno.

If there's an ALONE message in it, I guess it could mean she felt ALONE in the past, but now she doesn't, instead she's become A ONE, A WHOLE (kinda strange to think this way if you take things too literally, but I've seen Japanese people using English terms in some very creative and kinda poetic way whether they didn't notice a bad grammar or did)

I think I like the CD only the best :-)

But they're all pretty.

I like the concept for CDL.

Bigger covers (with text), from the official fb account.

Spoiler:
CD+DVD is my favourite ♥

As to CDL covers.. omg. Those lips, that background, that logo.. it's too messy & cheesy

Hm, now with the big covers (thanks btw), it's pretty obvious they gonna play somehow with the booklet/packaging and the title A One. The space betwenn the A and the One is so big. Big enough for another letter...

Or maybe they just wanted "A ONE" to be the same width as "ayumi hamasaki" and used the justified alignment

I'd really be happy if Ayu did something creative with the cover like this, but she normally doesn't play with packaging that much unfortunately

I'm not gonna lie to myself and believe that there's actually a meaning behind the title of this album. I mean, that's not going to make me feel less excited about it either.

Ayu usually doesn't lie about stuff like that. Like the LOVE/HOPE thing in FIVE.

Of course I hope someone do prove the real meaning behind the title. I'm just not buying the idea for now.
