[OFFICIAL] A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~ covers out!

[rusuke]

Wow!!! Love it but I like the 3CD only cover more!!!
Want it but can't have it yet...

[SolarAngel]

To those that don't like the cover because ayu looks stoned or it's not creative enough, i have no idea how you guys came this sort of conclusion.

First of all, tyra banks looks way more stoned whenever she does psuedo top model faces with fierce eyes or whatever. At the worst, the CD+DVD cover just looks like ayu doesn't understand something. How is that stoned?! I look like that whenever i don't have directions!

Second, so it's not the most creative thing ever but at least it's aesthetically pleasing and there are some of you going "ew!" I know we are supposed to respect people's opinions but that's just so far out for me. If you hear someone playing a beethoven piece, are you going to go "That's so uncreative. Play something you originally composed"? Ayu looks great on the cover, far more beautiful than Guilty if you ask me (though THAT'S creative i'll grant you). Even if it's not creative, at least respect it for it's beauty.

Sorry i just feel a little strongly about these off-hand remarks.

I agree

At the end of the day, as usal it's either people expected too much or they just want to get exactly what they wished for and if it's not that then it's "ew, uncreative, boring" etc.

Those covers are just pretty and fit the A COMPLETE feel (compilation album which is not A BEST series).

Agree with solarangel, and personally I feel that the jokes are abit too mean and crude =/

Don't worry, most of those peole are

"wtf are those ugly covers and this stupid album???" (*going to order a copy or two *)

[lfe.]

They're alright. Kinda a new style of cover shoot so its awkward to see at first but for a glamour shoot you can't really ask for anything better.

I like the 3CD+DVD one

Seriously, it's like no one's ever happy with anything =/... A lot of you wanted new photos, you got new photos, and you spend most of your time saying how "bad" they are =/... It's like people who complain about the release in general when it's something that was totally expected...

[Beauty4123]

i think i'd rather see pretty covers that are actually of ayu herself, than to just see a big fat A slapped on the covers, haha. so i have nooo problems with how these covers turned out.

[ayujarl]

great covers. I like the style. the attitude in CD+DVD is a bonus. glad that I'm picking it up

[hpg23]

GOD... The covers are kinda of... unpolished? Way too much lightning, specially in the 2nd one (I can barely see her nose LOL). The set/dress/hair is ok but they could have done something more original... I mean she has singles with better covers than this. And her pose... the idea is ok, but those were the best shots of all the photoshoot? REALLY? Because in the CD only one she looks like she is saying "Gimme my ****in money, ya pimp!" mixed with a slight doubt of down syndrome. Her right eye is more closed than the left one! LOL. The DVD is better, but she looks like she is saying "hihihi I´m sooooo rich!!! Cest la vie! huhu". C´mon... but well, it´s no so bad anyway. But they had the huge chance to do something really great in the artistic department with this...

P.S.: And the whole leopard/panter theme is a bit overused for Ayu after Duty and Guilty xD

[GRACE]

^It's not leopard o_O It's a gold colored dress/top o_O They look more like scales than leopard print o_O

Or on TV, DVD player, etc. if you don't live in the US. (e.g. if you live in Europe)

If you do not care about authencity you could always wait to see if bootlegged copies will pop out on Ebay. They will be extremely cheap compared to the real one and they will be region free, any DVD player from around the world can play them.

Or if you are an authenticity freak like me, what I have been doing recently is I've been getting the DVD versions of releases I have been purchasing then I make a copy of the DVD with my computer. That way I can have a DVD that I can play on my computer and a region free DVD I can play on my DVD player while still having the real deal.

Ops my fault xD LOL I thought it was leopard, but looking more closely at it I see it isn´t. xD Anyway the color scheme is just like Guilty, only a bit brighter.

a region code free dvd player. or you can search dvd hacks depending on what type of dvd player you have, allowing you to change region codes so that ayu dvds can be region-free. I used one of their hacks for my yamakawa dvd player and I was amazed at how i was able to change the region code to free or '0'. next, i was able to watch MY STORY DVD

I really don't like the 3CD one, what's the problem with that? O_O
The other one is really beautiful (not the kind of cover I wanted, but it's beautiful), but I'm really gonna say "ew!" to sth I dislike, like that cover.

Guys, Ayu does really ~*deep*~ stuff almost all the time already. Give the woman a break. Not every cover has to have some really profound spiritual message behind it. It's been 10 years since her debut. Let her do glitzy eye-candy once in a while.

Just because she has va-va-voom hair and a jeweled gown doesn't make her any less of an intellectual or emotionally moving person. It just means she wants to get dressed up and live it up for her 10th anniversary. Not a big deal.

This. It's like people think that because she's had glitz and glam covers, she lacks the depth that she did before. What the heck kind of assumption is that?

[Dustie]

I still hope that hair's just a wig or some badly done extensions.

Or at least change the colour, honey. There's nothing worse in the world than rotten-blonde and I'm speaking from personal experience here :/

[sitara]

i actually like it, even if it is only a headshot. again.

i am very surprised so many people don't like it, but then again she does covers like this all the time now. i do not think she will do some creative covers again, rather show how beautiful she is. yup, sad. i wanna see some good cg again! XD
