ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~ live DVD out April 14th, 2010!

[zoomzoom]

I love the cover, it completely fits the concert and the concept of the album she's promoting. The concert picture things she usually does for covers are always pretty lazily done and look half-assed. I much prefer covers like AT03-04, AT07 and this one.

looooooool The cover is... horrifying to say the least. But she rarely has good DVD covers so why am I so surprised?

^ How is reusing a picture from the NEXT LEVEL photoshoot "creative and courageous"? If anything she's only recycling what she did last year... I mean that's understandable because it's the tour for NEXT LEVEL, but that definitely makes it not creative or courageous.

I'm not talking about the picture itself necessarily, but the fact that it's different from her other DVD covers in the past. And yeah, okay the image is from the NL photo shoot, but come on, that's the theme of the tour so what do you want? It makes sense to me.

I agree here, I like how the album and the concert dvd for the album match.

[Ayu_Ready]

yeah the best pics of next level's shoot

Love the RnRC covers... but I hate the DVD one! I was sad I wouldn't get both posters, but not now. I'm just not a fan of the whole NL booklet image. I'm just disappointed because PCDL had a NEXT LEVEL kinda feel to it, and was awesome.

What I do like though is the buttons below it, I wonder if they'll be just a printed picture or actually 3D? That would be awesome.

I do want the DVD though, I loved the tour! Especially "rollin' <3

I like the cover. True, it's from the NL album shoot, but that's the point of the tour - it's called "NEXT LEVEL" because she was promoting her last album, which happened to be called "NEXT LEVEL". It's nice to see her creating very similar themes on both the album and tour.

I also like the little jack-holes (I forget what they're called ><) and the volume button at the bottom - reminds me of the "Pieces of SEVEN" performance ^^

The DVD cover is perfect <3+

[Kazeyomi]

meh I don't like it at all :|
but at least it's different and fits with the album

[waterballoon]

on a happy note, ever since AT 05, her DVD covers have been screen caps/footage of the concert itself, so yay for breaking that pattern Ayu this time round! (^_^)

[truehappiness]

she made a photoshoot for the Concert Tour 2000 and for Arena Tour 2003-2004, but they weren't older photoshoot; they were made on purpose.

Those photoshoots were done before the tours started and were featured prominently on goods for the tour.

I think the person meant they were at least done specifically for the tour?

While this time around, it's a pic from the album that the tour belongs to.

I'm not complaing though, I love the cover!!
And I'm very pleased and glad she broke the live-screenshot pattern! I was hoping she would.

[duque]

wow..mmm not a fan of the cover...but then again its just the cover...I want to see the concert xD

[minkAYuko]

haha then we all agree is "new" =P. Lovin' the cover =D.

[jbrat2219]

LOL Y'all crazy, that cover is sexy as ****. It's like she came down from the land of Sparkle to play! Show me more, Ayu!

[pop909]

I think the NL booklet had a better shot than the one that was used... The one of her lying down and shes on both sides, (if i remember correctly)

The small balls and the TV just make this cover a bit too cheap and almost amateur for my liking. Other than that, the variety of colors just looks amazing. + her hair and the hat are nice too.

[love in music]

Wait.. the tour DVD comes with a poster of the cover?

[pchan1986]

in my opinion, i dont like this picture. Mainly because its been used already. its like they had no idea of what to use as a cover for this dvd. i think they should have made a collage or a pic from the concert itself. BUT the concert is better than the cover

[love in music]

^ well the full pic wasn't even used, just her face shot so the full thing is still a bit new.

[Bigtop]

Umm...about the DVD cover...what was that about!?
