Today on twitter Ayu said there many meanings behind the title "FIVE".
I wonder what these meanings are other that "5 songs, 5 pvs, 5 makings"

[Zeke.]

Wow, covers are gorgeous! Stunning! Some of her best looking album covers ever I'd say.

Not expecting anything yet though XD

I want another Arabian song, too! But I don't want to hear the ******** about her doing the same thing over and over again because of Don't Look Back.

Don't look back is my most played ayu song, I don't even care what people say xD

[Indie]

Lots of shirtless guys for BRILLANTE. Mmm yeah.

I don't want another Arabian song because I don't like the way they sound. T_T They just don't appeal to my ears at all. I'm amazed I even like Don't look back.

[jbrat2219]

No matter how the song turns out there's bound to be someone disappointed. I just wish we had more of a description for it.

You know how it is, a lot of people on the internet overrate their sensibilities when it comes to EVERYTHING: movies, books, fashion, photography, typology, graphic design. Everyone thinks they're an expert. That's what happens when you give everyone equal access to a forum to speak in.

Here's a pretty good list of what fonts are highly regarded:

Although I tend to think Helvetica is really overused these days... It's practically a cop-out.

Personally, I like the fonts on this album cover. Those exaggerated serifs make the title look as sinister as the hardware on those nails. And I like the gray background. It accentuates the rigid, metallic, cold feel of Ayu's look

[Andrenekoi]

^Well, Helvetica was first made to be the "ultimate font", fitting for any job and any situation... Still, I do find it to be boring xD

[Heldin]

Wow, covers are just fierce! More Rock'n'Roll in the content, please XD

[susiowong]

I... I actually like the font.

I mean, I think it goes well with the picture. Having a fancier font, I don't know if it would be as fitting.

What the HELL is wrong with the damn font!? My God. I think this font is perfect for the cover - first thing I thought was "wow, nice font! very fitting" - any other kind of font with this would seem to overpowering. Be happy it's not the same font that was used for Koda Kumi's FREAKY single or the boring font that was Love Songs.

[Tom Punks]

I really like the font on the CD-only, but I feel like it's distracting and weird on the CD+DVD. Though I hate the way that one is cropped in general, so yeah.

[tasking]

The font for FIVE looks great, but the one her name is written in just looks really... noobish to me.

[asmAyumi1992]

LOL too many characters Ayu played ! Wonder Ayu, Cleopatra Ayu, Angel Ayu, Ayu in Wonderland... This is killing me

[Lady_Eowyn]

The shirtless guys from brillante are dressed like muay thai fighters, and she's wearing something like a champion's belt. So i'm pretty sure it's gonna be a boxing theme again
