I love covers :luv2 And font too. Though its placement on CD+DVD one bugs me soo much :laugh Why her second eye can't be seen? :laugh

Thank you for the bigger covers!

Thanks, this is my best Ayu covers ever
Mira is so cute >< oops!
CD only remind me of Mocrophone~
I'm glad I order both DVD and ToX version :)

I don't know about ~cheap paint job, but the typography definitely looks dated. I also don't think typography has ever been her either one of her design team's strong suit.

With that out of the way, I love the CD+DVD cover. It reminds me of her talkin' 2 myself single, which I think had two of her best covers. :love Can't wait to see the booklet.

wow thanks for sharing the bigger covers..
they look more amazing!!!
omg..
and i kinda like CD+DVD more now~

Thank you for the bigger covers! Ayu looks even better than before and I can't stop staring at the CD+DVD-version. She is sooooo gorgeous! :heart

Wahhh~~
I wish I had my album already. The next few weeks will be horror, because I don't want to listen to the songs or watch the PVs before I have my album! That's always sooooo~~ hard...but worth it in the end! :yes

haha I'm just glad this text is decorative for once, it's usually not as bad as the Secret covers, but her text usually is pretty bad!

This time i love everything from the covers.

The font also suit with the covers

I think leslie did a great job for ayu.....

thanks for the bigger versions <3

btw, beloved PV reminds me of Born to be...

What are examples of "good font" because all I ever hear for any cover (for any artists really) is how terrible the font is. I see nothing wrong with the font and that's not based on opinion, it's just ignorance of good vs. bad font. Could you post some examples?

Can someone please make a new thread for the album covers? We'd be most appreciative. :) Just make sure you credit the right people. Thanks!

OMG!!!

I cant stop listening to progress......

Progress is absolutely Amazing......

I love it better than Last angel....

Nah, there's nothing wrong with the font, they just disliked it...

I do love the covers. Ayu' skin looks unbelievable beautiful.

Ah! Love the Cd+DVD cover! Her best album cover since ...eh...secret!lol!

Actually the font works very well on the cover. And it's understandable. As much as a font looks amazing it must be readable.

I am brave enough to say that the CD+DVD one is the best cover of all Ayu's albums !!!!! I'm glad that's the one I will get when I received mine :luv2

me too and actually my favorite one is the ToX ver... the other ones looks overphotoshoped to me <<'

Pretty much anything that looks nice to people is "good" and anything that doesn't automatically register as "good" is "bad"... from my experience. Her most widely appealing cover designs, I think, came from 2002-2003 with the ayu-mi-x IV covers, RAINBOW, and RMX WORKS. They were all very pleasing to the eye and I don't think many people complain about their designs compared to other ones. I suppose it also depends on if people like/dislike the material on the CDs themselves or vice-versa since that tends to influence opinions. (Sunrise/Sunset and people disliking the songs because they don't like the covers...)

I've seen that Mika Nakashima's concept which usually include some kind of small serif font (it was changed recently?) and spaced out letters like M I K A N A K A S H I M A * T I T L E H E R E was received pretty well even though it was the same for every release.

I think a lot of people tend to like her textless covers more due to the fact that the text kinda just gets in the way on the covers?

How clever of them to make the V in five white. (Naturally, since 5 with roman numelars is V).
