so pretty but um text is ugly as shit sorry I'm kinda pissed off at how it ruins each cover... ugh and the random caps ugh x2 on the CD+DVD the text doesn't even fit into the cover

this album has ONE weak link: visuals. the new Lelio PV is pure garbage trash that I cannot believe Ayu would do and the covers are so-so with lazy and bad execution. the music is very good though so.. oh well..

So it's kinda the same for me if i don't like the music till very last song i won't buy the album,if i only like the cover i won't buy it. I need the whole pack. And so many artists know how to pull it off. You don't need huge funds just right people.
Thank you, you get me! >.>b

Lol @ the shadow below her armpit. Also I can't take that CD+Bluray cover serious with the "Co" on her face It reminds me of this:

As I said, love it. She's so classy and mature on them, and they also pairs with the dance movement of this album.

I think they made a safe choice for the cover tbh, to achieve a general perception of "omg, this is beautiful" and, imo, they were clever to do this to such a critical audience.
Then, I think we will be more amazed with the booklet photos, probably on them we will see the real thing and concept going on.

And I don't see any wrong with the fonts. Actually the BD is my favorite one, it seems that the text is interacting with her. The CD only styling is far more safer for sure, but also it's extremely overused that seems a little bit boring to me now.

PS: I think we will have a metallic impression on the titles, then we will see lots of colors on the covers. That would be nice.

im over everything "simple" "clean" "classy". Give us some fancy at least if you are realesing electro-trance album lol.

but well, the shoot itself is very nice (I always wanted her in the cover with a clean tail, I remember how I feel in love with this black & white magazine shoot were she was with stylists) but clean/simple shoot + "fancy" typo isn't much about fun, party, electro album ;/ she could do fancy shoot and use simple typo xD

still photos are pretty (she isn't cute and "NATURAL" - yeah, natural.) but I'm not a fan of this album same as artcika xD

They are too reminiscent of Kumi's driving hits...but she does look good, and thankfully I'm getting CD only, which is they best cover.

I don't understand the candle version. Is it so people would pray for Ayu? Wouldn't a version with a miniature bunny from FTL PV be a better idea?

i like how simple it looks but it looks modern. it's not just the normal pretty in LOVE again and Love songs.

the fonts... hmmm.. i dont mind them, but the placement of it covered the eyes -.-

I love the ones where the text isn't on her face. It's a nice and clean concept. Which they shouldn't be able to mess up. But they did on the covers with the text on her face. Really nice though otherwise.

I love the CD version, I think its the best one of the bunch.

That CD + Blu Ray with the Co over the eye... and that CD + DVD Milena's Botique Aroma Candle though... BAD placement of 'Colours', you can barely read it.

CD only version *o*
Ayu, y u so expensive
And yeah, the placement is horrible in both CD+DVD and CD+BR. But I like how we got 5 different covers. This+booklet=more pics to edit, yay! ^^

Btw, am I the only one who got a weird feeling, because the main color is blue and not cream/peach/orange/pink/whatever?

Some ppl on here said, they don't want yet another close up of Ayu's face where she looks pretty. Now we get five close up shots of Ayu in which she looks pretty and everyone is loving it. Splendid!

YAAAAAS Ayu! You look so good! Omg!
I assumed we would get everything in sepia colours again. I'm so happy now and don't even care about that Lelio PV disaster.

Typographer can change the size.



Btw, should this consider as peach/tan colours like Love Songs, Love again, Love, and again? I saw lots of people said "ayu should get over that peach/tan colours theme"

You know what? Ayu needs to work with zemotion (Zhang Jingna) she's brilliant photographer and has amazing visual mind. Yet she keeps everything very high fashion/editorial. i'd love to see what she could do with her.
