^^because it's the version I think people are least likely to buy (when you can get a DVD with your album for only a little bit more, I feel like most would buy that)...so of course Avex would make that the most appealing one...making people (especially collectors) buy more versions.

I don't know what people are sniffing but CD+DVD had been the best for the majority of releases. (miss)understood, MY STORY (alternate covers), GUILTY, most of the singles that are CD+DVD format. Love songs photobook version was the best, NEXT LEVEL USB was the best. Usually it's the most expensive is the best one I feel.

"Limited" covers always do tend to be better than a CD only, but there were really only a few exceptions to terrible CD only shots. IMO, (miss)understood's and Rock'n'Roll Circus' are the only ones that kind of stand out as 'not good'.

I guess the "CD only" rule normally applies to singles with a few exceptions.

Singles: CD only > CD+DVD
Albums: (Limited) > CD+DVD > CD only

Since we have three album editions this time with no limited options, I don't really know how they'll measure up to one another. It's CD+DVD/CD+2DVD/CD only so it could go either way! If there is a close up or a 1/4 body shot, the CD only is usually the most panned out-shot in her albums which people tend to like, I think.

^RnRC CD only is "not good," which is why I didn't buy it. Hahaha guess covers still matter.

i think its all a matter of opionion... but i tend to think that when it comes to the singles CD only is better...
the albums are a different story... they can be either a hit or miss!
( its a 50/50 chance for me anyways)

This is true in pretty much all cases expect Love Songs imo.

There the CD only was waaaaaaay prettier than freaking CD+DVD. I love that little smile of hers. I had to buy the CD only because of the reason that the cover was so stunning.~ You would think Avex wants to do that all the time actually.
