totally agree.. like the booklet for my story was really good as a concept, and same with the shots for memorial address..

I feel almost like the CD+DVD shot could really have just been her anywwhere...like she could have just taken that wearing a jacket in a bath tub(for all we know)

Almost as if she didnt capture the environment enough (which i think was the whole point of this London inspiration)

I'm really feeling the covers. Natural, adorable, Ayu.

CD+DVD is better to me for now, but they're both pretty darn awesome. <3

...Hmm.... I must admit these aren't my favourite covers but I like the text and the kinda Union Jack design. Ayu's face looks a tad strange to me on the CD+ DVD to me but again, I'm happy. It might just take some time to get used to them.

Off to make set!

This is kinda like the first time people drool over CD+DVD cover over CD only cover..

I'm glad I got the CD+DVD. I didn't really mind the cd only until I see lots of comments about it. But really.. the only thing I can complain about the cd only is her mouth. It will be better if it's a fish mouth (cuz I dun mind fish mouth). It's like.. she's trying to smile but didn't have enough time to do so before the camera flashed..

Really? I thought CD+DVD is generally an okay cover when it comes to Ayu albums since (miss)understood...

Remember the smile?

I actually like CD only more, it's more special and "high-end"

i liked both covers


i like how they take me back to GUILTY, but the air that these covers give me is really lite and fresh (even that they seem a lot more dark)

I like how pale she looks xD and I also liked that they put the name of the album on her chick (where more anyway?? xDDD)


the CD only is obviously gonna look weird to some people, to me it just look ayuish.



i like how they made them different to any cover that she's done before

Ehh that one is the exception (they didn't like the cd+dvd anywayz, but the hatre wasn't as deep as cd only was), but usually people prefers her cd only covers (albums and singles).

Now that you've mentioned it... it seems like the majority of album covers are shot in studios. I think it's nice to have outside shots some of the time .

Ah, oh yes. Remember that the Limited Box has another cover too apparently, haha. It'll probably be the best of the three...

I feel as though these covers were sort of just Ayu as a "ringleader" of her circus even though they're very... "I could've taken them anywhere" in style.

We'll probably see many GORGEOUS shots in the photobook, but I think a set of photos of her posing in front of Big Ben would've been much more grand and spelled out "LONDON" to people. Though at first, I felt that the telephone booth shoot was probably going to be where the covers were going to come from when I saw them in ViVi, haha. Creepy. (The hat and "spotlight" / "Union Jack" color lines though spell out London for this cover, even though it's really really really subtle for the most part...)

My Ayu-intuition is getting kind of scary.

Not too bad though i was hoping for a full body shot somewhere.
Lol, she definitely was going for a cute face in the CD only..
i love her eye makeup though..in the CD+DVD u can see it really defined

one thing..I think the kinda lines here and there are VERY COOL. like how GUILTY's font was slanted and all

the booklet is gonna be epic anyway..so who cares
