I think it was mentioned that there would only be one cover for all 3 versions of each album.

The strong side she also has to show outside. But she of course also has this emotional side ( the soft and happy side, but also conflicts, if I think about what she said about On my way), mostly happening inside and most probably shown the most to her family.
Just some thoughts though, as we don't have the full thing yet.

This I agree with

I hope this album isn't a digipack. I hate these things...

I love digipak's! Haha. Much more than the standard jewel case.

With Shhh! was a different situation, the singles were supposed to be collected, even the back picture still not there on her website. I still think we're getting other covers.

[KLJames]

lol, i think i will try to forgive her for release double album to money milking, i believe she having hard time to figure out where to put her "old songs": Bring It On (2013 Fanclub Tour), Kimi Omoi (2014 pachinko limited cd Fever Legend Live), Cup cake (2015 The Artist) and Shhh! (2016 tour limited single).

^amazon (and others) sometimes using the same picture as a placeholder, so let's see what will happen...
but i hope it's the same for every version, because i plan to buy outside with bluray and inside cd only...

like multiple versions of one album isnt money milking itself...
the music industry isnt here to wipe your butt, debby
after 2 years with not much music this is a nice move actually...

Shhh! is a single for the album... whats your point? lmao
Kimi Omoi is just fan service, thats why it was on the single and is actually on the album, the fever songs never meant to be released outside of that pachinko stuff
Cupcake was intended for her 13th album, but she went with 2 best ofs and a single collection tour instead
Bring It On is old and i wouldnt be mad if it wasnt there, but still nice to get a studio version unlike the full version of TRICK...
it's not like artists recording bazillion of tracks and never using them lol

[Gustavopc]

Plus it's just four songs that arent new, she could have made an usual 15 track long album lol Cant see the point tried to be made here

[Isicio]

The fact is sell two albums with 10 tracks by album with the same price of an album with 15,16 or 17 tracks. But looking back to ayu's Colours, A ONE and M(A)DE IN JAPAN albums they included less songs compared to her previous albums and them have the same price of the albums with more tracks.

If the covers of the CD and Blu ray will be different I imagine them with the same photo but with different face expression. And if they will be the same covers, I understand that is for complete the face image if you buy both Outside and Inside albums in any edition.

I will love to have other cover, I don't like too much this covers. I hope they are a slipcase and we get a different cover inside. But cdjapan don't say nothing about first press edition and bonuses.

I already preordered the CD+DVD -outside- ^^

[kaled kalil]

W FACE doesn't have the same price of her regular 15 tracks album, so why are people complaining anyway? They know what they're doing.

CD Only:

Bon Voyage - ¥3,240
WALK OF MY LIFE - ¥3,240
W FACE (inside or outside) - ¥2,808

[Corvina]

I was about to post that. All editions are a bit cheaper than usual.

Maybe they don't sell it as a bundle officially, cause they wanna know, what's selling better for Kuu nowadays?
All her digital hits from the past would be on inside . But so far outside is selling better - it's ranking higher than inside on amazon and mu-mo.

[a❤martian]

People just love to complain.

Just rewatched Best Singles Collection and once again I am blown away. I love the reworking of the songs.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Covers on mu-mo also aren't there besides CD+DVD. Hopefully we'll get the other covers (if there are any) and bonus goodies from FC soon so I can pre-order...

[adantatu2]

Kuu is back finally !!!
The little preview was really good.

[Minttulatte]

W FACE was amazing judging by the small preview. Sorry.

[Isicio]

I just see if the older albums have the same price, I'm not complaining, but if people here like to tell that somebody is complaining for nothing serious I just don't understand it but ok xD

Walk Of My Life CD+DVD is 3.800¥ and W FACE is 3,500¥ there's not too much difference, I can't see now the other album prices but I think there is not too much difference between they.

[EndOfTheWorld]

It is still overpriced for a CD either way through my eyes.
I wish Japan would lower their prices.

WALK OF MY LIFE - 2 new music videos
W FACE - 6 new music videos (or 5 if they are reusing Kimi Omoi).

The content is there, and there is a difference.

And the problem is not complaining too much or whatever, it's just that it doesn't make any sense since you're getting the content that you're paying for.

COLOURS was ¥4,104 CD+DVD with 10 songs and 3 new videos (or 5, if you count that low budget animation and the "Verbal" version of Merry-go-round), and it's still more expensive than W FACE. So yeah, CDs are expensive, but this one is cheaper than a lot of CDs being released right now.

^Colours was so high priced. And yes you pay for 6 music videos and 10 tracks, is not a bad price after all.

True. I'm on the fence about it. I don't know whether I would have liked one 20-track album from Koda or the two 10-track albums.

Please, for the sake of all life, we better not be able to combine all 20 tracks and get the length of a single album. At least have it make sense that there would have to be two albums because of all the songs. :\

The new pachinko is coming - http://www.sankyo-fever.co.jp/special/phk/

[a❤martian]
