2CD+DVD is AMAZING, one of her best covers since BALLAD.
2CD only is nice too, but it's like a weaker version of the Glitter/Fated CD+DVD cover.

Covers have already been posted on the official site as well and the best's description has been updated too! It says something about "RAINBOW HOUSE" & ayu ready?

It's a beautiful picture, but it doesn't look like Ayu at all. The lips, teeth and eyes look different and wrong. Granted, there aren't a whole bunch of pictures of her doing a full tooth smile like that... but she looks like a stranger there. :(

I'm not a fan of these covers. Ayu looks so not like herself....

She looks psychotic here! Like she is going to cut you into pieces with those nails and eat your heart :0

I wish those nails were a bit shorter. And that smile is a bit too much. However the cover does make me think of the beach and summer.

Yeah her jaw looks huge in the CD only and of course fish lips with the CD+DVD. Hopefully bigger version of DVD is nice but as far as CD goes, it is one of her worst.

The tan combined with those blue contact lenses plus the angle of her head... That does NOT look like Ayu to me at all. It looks like a gyaru model trying to look like Ayu. The other cover seems okay from what I can tell, but really need a bigger pic to know for sure.

The CD scares me. I like 2CD+DVD cover since I was hoping for a full body cover. :)

minus contact lenses and strange color and cover looks better

anyway.. I think I can see High Pass filter on this cover ^^'

^ That does look a little better.

I really like the covers >__<;
She's so cute!!! :3

She looks scary, looks like Gackt's infamous "r*pe face"

and OMG the blue one looks like the missunderstood one, the uncensorned version :P

Still liking the covers but the bigger version left me awkwardly speechless for a.while... Oh well

CD+DVD looks amazing! I love it! But CD-only... :eek no... that's not Ayu...

the 2CD+DVD one is so much better IMO... the more I look at the blue one, the more disgusting it becomes.

something like this would have been better, took 2 min of crapy photoshop... the first one (original) looks anything else but ayu, at the second one you can recognise her at least...

^ Let's not exaggerate. It's obvious that it's ayu on the cover.

It would have been a different story if it was something like this:
