The first one revealed blows the other ones out of the water; why the hell is she puckering her lips like she's looking for a kiss in the second one

^I agree. CD+DVD is best.

You guys, I honestly don't think there's a hidden meaning in the TA covers...it might make you feel better about the very basic shoot but let's be real lol.

The first one is definitely the best, but I can't say I dislike the last one--she looks so adorable

she looks like she's mid-sneeze in the 2nd and 3rd pics lol.

I actually like the A One covers better, but hey, at least the music's good.

omg looking at them in the order above, all three together look like kissing or blowing one at us. Before, during and after lol

The CD+DVD is definitely the best, the other two are a bit awkward? The TA ones are same old same old, even though I like the A BEST-y style text on the second one. I don't know if that was intentional or not though. You never really know with Ayu now.

I think the rope images do suit the album though. I do like the black & white/blue tinged photos for the tour booklet more, they really were stunning photos that suited the album so well. It's not surprising that the tour takes precedent over the actual albums now though, which is sad. It would disappoint me less if I had the means to go to the tours though.

While I do like the image, I feel there's a dissonance with the album title... although, the album kind of strayed from the traditional Japanese theme after the 3rd track, so I don't know what she's trying to do here, haha

I actually thought it looked like she was dozing off, so her lips were somewhat agape. She's kind of wearing an expression that makes her look weary or somewhat unconscious.

I don't really like TA covers - they look meaningless (no rope).

I've been disliking her lips so much recently, even in the numero shoot. It's like, she's doing the lips that we all do while taking selfies. The first cover is nice and all, but the rest of them are definitely saying it's just a beauty shot lmao. I see the confusion and worries in her face but/

The translucent font was an awful idea. Parts of it merge with the Colours from the photo. Unless MADE IN JAPAV is a special edition.

Yeah what is it supposed to mean? Is Japan hindering her? Its a great cover, but Im not sure what its signifying at all.

The difference in tone though is really jarring.

Tbh not a fan of any covers this time around. She doesn't really look like herself, and I was hoping before that it was just be a weird angle/shot that somehow made it to being CD+DVD, and it wouldn't be reflective of the other covers. It is basically A ONE with a bit of rope thrown in haha.

CD+DVD remains the best of them, simply as her expression has meaning. I really hope we get more diva-like covers for whatever she releases during her 20th anni. I miss her heavier eye makeup and dramatic wardrobe.

Eyes mid-opened and looking to nowhere?

Seriously there will be a lot of photos of this album shoot and they can't choose better photos?

BLUE BIRD had a similar situation with the CD+DVD x 2/CD only and that shoot had quite a bit of variety.

However, I wonder where they'll go with this in the booklet.

her style game was so strong back then!!!
although she looks really stoned on the cover, there was so much work put in it, I love it. also: i am... <3
that's why I keep being dissapointed at her cover pics, she delivered back then; but can't be arsed to anymore

even her japanese themed photoshop of ayumix had more work put into it, a remix album!

but yeah, the booklet pics of mij will be a few beauty shots; more of the same with no concept.

The cover could simply refer to how she feels, how she has to be careful at what she will say, because the past year, people keep jumping on her, like how she had her staff take over her Twitter, because her japanese fans kept jumping on that she was cheating on her husband over some remarks she made with male friends. It could be a reference to today's social standings and how people react over the littlest thing now a days, that you feel the real problems can never come out. Or it was just a simple idea from her photographer and like said by another user in a few posts ago, it could of just been a 5 min photo shoot
