Pretty!!

Very pretty, simple covers. They're fine. Glad I usually get the CD only... I feel like those are almost always my favorite versions in the end XD

And I'm glad that this cover isn't in black and white... was really afraid she was going to pull a stunt like that LOL

How do they arrange the title....!!!OMG!!

Love the CD only version!

LMAO these are literally the worst covers she's ever had. Hahaha.

Before I opened the thread I told myself not to expect much, then saw them and LOL they're even worse than I thought.

I can't even read the album title. And in the CD+blu-ray it looks like she has metal foil glued over her head. I could make these covers in 5 minutes max. They're just a high contrast photo, white bg, random font and gradient blending layer.

-1 sale for this album. Although foreign sales don't count anymore for Oricon anyway.

I like these covers, better than I expected.

so... you don't buy the album because of the covers?

CD only >>>>>>>>>>> anything else

But why aYUMI CoLOURS HAMASaKI?

WHY? :weep

I'm not spending money supporting something that had minimal effort and that is too ugly to display lol. On the other hand, I bought 5 copies of Love songs because I really wanted that beautiful alternative cover and kept getting the other one. =p I now have it on my shelf:

You have AL in your signature, so you should appreciate a good album cover. Madonna's done it for 30 years straight.

OMG!!! the cover is amaaaaazzzzzingggggggg

so classy!

i have no problem this time with the font and the placement, i think its cool.

off topic: how could one get the alternate cover? I've never understood it. I want one so bad!

I agree the font adds some sort of fun to an otherwise simple picture.

It's be cool if the font was metallic.

I do appreciate a good cover. But the most important for me is the music in it. The thing is: I don't know if you didn't quite like the album enough to buy it and you were expecting the covers to take that decision or that you like the album and you are not gonna buy it because of the covers.

I think she's doing it the western artists way. Just some close up shots and we're done.

@tsumekaze: I was in Japan when Love songs was released and the CD+DVD version at Tower Records (their HMV) had these cardboard sleeves with the standard covers on it. Hidden beneath that was one of two alternative covers: the one in my pic and one where Ayu looks like an emotionless doll. I kept getting the doll one so I kept buying the album..hahaha.

@My Rainbow: I see your point. The music alone isn't good enough for me to buy the album, so I was waiting for the covers. The only album I've bought since Love songs is LOVE again because I love the covers... x3 I believe I should only spend money if I "support" the release, if that makes sense. In that tiny way I "reward" the artist when they deliver a good product. I can always get it later at Bookoff for $3 to add to the collection. :P

The background is creamy white XD not plain white.

She looks great in them and I love the purple shade they used for her name.

I wanna see the inside booklet artwork!

CD dvd's not very nice in terms of alignment of words. Cd has the best photo and alignment. The candle versions are nice too.
No choice shall get the cd dvd version because of the pvs

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE

I haven't loved her album covers since NEXT LEVEL tbh

Candle and blu ray is the best for me! Love the CD only version too, dunno whether to get the CD+DVD version or not anymore :(
