The tear is very cliché. A bit overused, to be honest. This is a great usage of simplicity. Finally a design that actually LOOKS good *coughArena05DVDcough*.

This must be one of Ayu's best cover since a very very very long time.

I like it, but I also cannot tell if it's her or not. I wonder how the poster will look. . .

//hikari, i actually think she will, i doubt avex would do a one time only thing with such a promotional aspect as differn't covers. kind of like when all the remix albums came to hault to end in rmxworks (who knows if it'll continue), the dvd being available with the cds, and now having differing covers, i think it's inevitable that it's going to be her way of putting things out, along with numerous avex artists, i could be wrong though.

also at cdjapan: "Sung by Ayumi Hamasaki and written by Kazuhito Kikuchi. Also includes remix(es), expected. Comes with a DVD containing a video clip to "HEAVEN," and more (expected). *Sleeve cover artwork is different from the CD-Only edition (AVCD-30843). *Unless otherwise indicated, DVDs are region-2 encoded (Japan, Europe, and Middle East), and carry no subtitles."

Mediocre. There's nothing exceptional to the cover that would make it one of the best covers ever. It's actually possible to be simple with a lot more creativity. I don't dislike the cover though, just don't think it's anything particularly surprising at all. It's just a sillhoute of her face that doesn't even really resemble her at all. Not that I care much though, it's nothing bad and hopefully the song will rock

How can she not resemble herself?

I think this cover is an improvement over her more recent single CD covers (at least she's not wearing a lot of makeup).

I'm confused about that too. Her nose is pretty distinguished.

If there was no mention for that to be HEAVEN's cover nor the name HEAVEN, I doubt people would tell that is ayu. (LOL Just a joke but this is the cover she's wearing the most makeup! Her face is all black, she just got a coal shower ) But yep, i agree they've been focusing too much in ayu's make up lately, at least this is different.
I'm not saying nonsense though, since I don't seem to be the only one who thinks you can hardly tell that is ayu.
