The CD+DVD probably extends into the OBI whereas the CD version sort of just has black under the OBI..

I don't think the jewel cases will be differently shaped, maybe they'll be a bit differently cut for the real covers?


As I said above, for the CD + DVD edition, maybe they're going by the OUTER picture and the booklet will have the same picture but... just... cut down to a square, a proper square. Like for the (m)u CD + DVD booklet, the left side of the cover ends just like an inch past the heart, and on the jewel case, the picture stretches another inch to show more hair and white background/ You get me? (I'll nab a visual if I need to)

If it isn't the same as what Anthony explained, please show me a visual, my brain didn't completely follow that at 4:30 AM.

News report related to the covers!

あゆ 初タトゥー入れちゃった…
 歌手・浜崎あゆみ(28)がニューアルバム「Secret」(29日発売)のジャケットでタトゥー姿を初 披露していることが8日、分かった。ライブでシンボルの「A」マークを張ったことはあるが、タトゥーは初。 真っ白だったはずの右肩には本物の入れ墨彫り師が約3時間かけて描いたユニコーンが描かれた。“絵”ではあ るが、その精巧さに誰もが目を奪われる。アルバムはパナソニックのCMソング「1LOVE」など14曲中1 0曲が新曲。あゆは「すべてが自信作。多くの方がこの子たちを聴き、味わってほしいです」と手応えを感じて いる。


It says it took 3 hours to draw the tattoo on her shoulder.
Ayu says every new song on the new album is masterpiece, she's very confident about it

I believe she could have been wearing whatever, the dress seem to be put on there via photoshop. She probably wore something similar, but then they turned it pitch black, not even any shades or highlights in it, in photoshop and edited her body.

Her body is most definitely not her own, considering how much proportions are always played with I'm entirely positive that it's edited.

The HMV Japan pictures look.... poor quality. Like they were just enlarged in Photshop without any touchups.

Gladly!

Here's (miss)understood - the CD + DVD edition! Notice the differences in the pictures...

The front cover for the booklet itself:



And the front cover of the actual jewel case, which, in the CD + DVD edition, is a separate picture (for some reason... unlike the CD-only versions, in which the front cover of the booklet also serves as the cover):




Make sense now?

You must have some highres screen of doom O_O~

That's what my explanation was! The photo extends to the OBI on the cover itself.. :3

I said it was pretty cause there's like diamonds lining the neck and chest portions of the dress..
:B

Thanks explo.

Anthony, the HMV pictures are low quality. Very low quality jpegs, but they're definitely not resized ones.

And here's a excite translation of the entire text:

Ayu tattoo has been put.
Singer and Ayumi's Hamasaki (28) being announcing the tattoo appearance first with the jacket of new album "Secret" (sale on the 29th) has understood the eighth. Tattoo is the first though the "A" mark of the symbol has been live put. The Unicorn that a genuine tattoo carving master drew spending about three time in a right shoulder that would have been pure-white was drawn. "Picture" it Every eyes are deprived by the elaborateness. In the album, 0 the first grade of junior high-school 14 like CM song etc. "1LOVE" of Panasonic is a new song. あゆは「All are masterpieces. I want you to taste it listening to these children a lot. 」I feel response solving.

Actually, I think I do, because I notice some... I dunno how to put it. Enlarge like a 100 x 100 picture to, say, 250 x 250 or 300 x 300 in Photoshop, and it'll look blurry, pixelly, and grainy - if not everywhere, ni parts. And it looks blurry and pixelly in parts on my monitor.

immizzle - I noticed some highlights on the dress in the enlarged versions. But it has to be someone else's body. That or the dress makes her look close to 6 feet.

^I don't know what you are trying to say.

At the HMV covers, the grain in the HMV pictures is very typical for jpegs saved with very low quality, it's the kind of quality loss you get.

I think that she wore some high-azz heels in the process of shooting the photos..

I really like the covers but I'm with the group that thinks the stars are pretty tacky looking. I also thought that her body was really Photoshopped looking (like in that thin Lumix camera ad). But I'm pretty sure we've dissected (miss) understood like this when we thought the hearts were pretty amateur looking (they still are XD ). That all aside, I can not wait to hang this poster up when I get it along with the CD+DVD I ordered.
