She wasn't wearing make-up, maybe that's the thing?

In Ultra Blue, for example, she's all made up and gorgeous, so she looks like a superstar. On First Love she definitely didn't look like a superstar So I guess that made her a regular Japanese girl, indeed.

In First Love, she portrayed herself (or Toshiba did?) as a teen girl with talents.
In Distance, I dunno what she's portraying... besides, the cover is actually the ugliest (there are better pics inside the booklet, why using that one?)
DEEP RIVER's cover is the best because the depressing look on hikki emitted the feeling of the album (and most importantly, the title song).
ULTRA BLUE is magical, because she's using red, the biggest contrasting color with blue IMO. And her eyes were so shiny in the pic.
HEART STATION.. I dun like her hair, but the cover did emit the concept of the album. It's very soothing .

Oh yeah actually you're rite. Probly I should use the word opposite instead of contrast (or... they have the same meaning? ).

But honestly, will she do a similar SC1 cover this time, or make a big head shot since there are new songs??

I really hope she'll pull a double cover.. One for the Single Collection, one for the mini-album on Disc 2.. I'm also hoping for an actual title for Disc 2, just like Koda Kumi's BEST ~Third Universe~ And 8th Album UNIVERSE.

But that's probably not gonna happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if the first press extras are the second CD with the new songs and the pressings following first press are just the single collection.

i doubt it will even have a first press. UH4 and Boku Wa Kuma (CD+photobook) were her only two materials to ever have anything first press. Boku wa kuma is (as of now) her only cd to have alternate covers. (Considering we're not talking about Exodus, because that's her utada career and unrelated) It's very unlike her to do first press bonus anything, let alone alternate covers.

Yeah... CD Japan has first press listed as well as limited packaging. Also, DEEP RIVER had first pressing. I think COLORS may have and maybe ULTRA BLUE.

[edit]
Out of curiosity, whether or not it may happen (probably not), what do you guys think an English "best album" would look like from Hikki?

I was thinking something along the lines of this:
1. Come Back To Me
2. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI
3. Exodus '04
4. Devil Inside
5. Kremlin Dusk
6. You Make Me Want To Be A Man
7. Dirty Desire
8. Easy Breezy
9. Sanctuary
10. Simple and Clean
11. Devil Inside (The Scumfrog Radio Edit)
12. Exodus '04 (Josh Harris' Elektrik - Radio)
13. You Make Me Want To Be A Man (Bloodshy & Avant Mix)
14. Come Back To Me (Mike Rizzo Radio Edit)
15. Dirty Desire (Digital Dog Radio Edit)

I figure if we got lucky tracks 11~15 could end up as new songs or new remixes. I bet tracks 1-10 would definitely be on it. All the singles plus the Kingdom Hearts songs and FYI because it was sort of a promo single. In China & Taiwan it was in the TiTO cm and she performed it on TV twice in America. Kremlin Dusk because it's the only non-single Exodus song she ever performed outside the NYC showcase.

Other possibilities are Hotel Lobby (fan favorite and rumored single with official, unreleased remixes), Me Muero (also performed on TV in the US, but not aired in entirety), Poppin' (possibly could be considered a radio single because of airplay), and This One (because it's TiTO's title track.)

Meh... I'm just bored.

they also claim we are getting a first press "special packaging" for ayu's L single, but we're not cause they announced it on twitter. I think the first press thing is just a standard they use for most cds.

^ I can't really tell if there's any "special" first press for hikki's cd. Most likely there maybe another pictorial disc as her first press. Ayu's L is a bit different. avex was going to produce special press until a week ago to cancel the whole first press thing.

Yes, DR had pictorial disc as the first press, and same went for Distance. There's no first press for ULTRA BLUE tho. I can't remember if COLORS had first press or not.

Someone posted the audio from the entire show in NYC...and I'm listening to it. It's making me cry because I was there and part of that AUDIENCE cheering and clapping is me...

Such a great show.

I think it would only work if they did a Best with english and japanese songs.

there are no remixes. it was going to be a single, and they even commisioned a remixer to make remixes for the single, but by the end they decided it was not worth it and just scrapped the whole thing. Hotel lobby was going to be the next official single, but it never got any farther than that.

And whatever happened with tito? 2 singles? 1 video? come on. lazy utada >> The only reason it's not selling is cause you are not trying hard enough to promote it. You're letting it go on it's own and hoping it's a bird with wings that'll just go and fly amazingly high without you being around it. wrong. you need to promote promote promote, more singles, videos, live performances, radio airplay, commercials, etc. you are did nothing to help promote this album. This album is not the one apparently.
