As much as I like some of the photos inside the booklet , I think this's her laziest album to date , concept wise

I'm sure tons of photos were taken when Ayu did the shooting for the album and she should have included different photos in the booklet which were not used for the promo picture and poster

I miss the old days when her album covers go hand in hand in synch with the concept and songs . Now they feel nothing merely like beauty shots that come straight from a magazine :no

It's quite unfortunate cos I like the album & she should have gone for the Oriental look , like what she did for her current tour outfits wise

I'm quite surprised that the rope pictures are limited to the covers only :-0

Picture of the back cover, it's the same across the three regular versions



Edit: just saw a video ad for the album on a huge screen at the shibuya crossing

I should receive my TA copy next week. Hopefully, someone will upload the PVs and the TA Tour today ^^

The CD+2DVD TA version is cool, but I'm not too happy with this album.
I started liking the regular CD only cover more.
I hope a new autumn release is coming, we don't have the CL Made In Tokyo DVD and the CDM ayupans. I wondrer if the CDL DVD will be included in a combo with new releases.

maybe they are still so embarrased how TK turned out on Many Classic Moments that they decided to forget whole MIT lol :D

Just recieved my copies and I must admit that the covers and the packaging are lovely in person. The TA CD+2DVD is the big jewel case which I missed for years. It really feels so nostalgic to have these again. lol And the stickers are quite big but not glossy.

I'm currently watching the TA LIVE and i'm loving the camera angles as well as the way they edited it. However, i wonder if its just me or they've overdone the autotune again in this one? I just wish its a separate dvd lol.
