really surprised about HOPE or PAIN and life! The covers are nice but yep, only beauty shots! Next satuday there will be another trailer/tracklist reveal
so so happy that rainy day will get a remaster! one of my favourite ballads of hers

and yes—talk about curve balls! I guess she's making space for lesser known ballads like HOPE or PAIN and Life, at the expense of some of her more famous songs.

ALSO: kind of disappointed that there are only three covers?

I can’t with the fact we only have three covers. Where did the times we had completely different covers for each version went? I’m saaad.
The regular 2CD+DVD is the best among the bad lol

hmm. it does say "main cover photo" so there seems to be a chance that not all of the covers have been released?

plus, the end of the preview released today says "See you next Saturday" so, there's hope for more covers, it seems?

Evan I really like your edit!

If the shirt has all three photos in a row across the chest it probably won't look bad but I'm also unlikely to wear it lol

First a light stick then photocards... Avex sees how groups like TWICE print money and decided to go for it haha. I know Ayu did cards back in her early days but I really hope they don't go the kpop route with randomised cards in the future. Maybe a single card in the first press would be a nice bonus but I'm probably getting ahead of myself. At least the value for money is coming out in the package goodies even if the video discs are recycled af

Wow, life, HOPE or PAIN, TODAY, those are rare gems. Setlist is really good and cover photos are amazing. I wonder what will happen next Saturday? Maybe announcement of new PV?

I think I like these covers as much as I do because it’s not pink. More of a cooler purple to me. Ayu looks great!
