^I don't think there's really anything American about it, besides the fact that she was in NY.

The CD only cover is really horibble, ayu just had a wide smile and they took the photo and it went out wierd.

I don't get the hate for the CD+DVD cover though, it's nothing amazing but it's ok and fits more to the album.

It's not the pictures for me, so much as the quality of the covers. They just looked cheap and lazy, not to mention lacking her usual creativity. Even "A Song for XX", which has a similarly uninspired photo, gets more points for being good quality and monochromatic silver.

I think ASFXX was acceptable. It was her debut album and I think it was forgivable.

But (m)u was further into her career.. after masterpieces like Memorial address and I am.. it really just seemed like they said "We're in New York, so now we're making the album covers and crap here." Just like how GUILTY's ended up in LA along with the PB. :[

I'd really like for Ayu to stay in the studio, or at least an enclosed place like MY STORY's photoshoots..

Well... it's not her best cover, but I still like it^^

Agree. I personally don't like the cover of (m)u cause Ayu looks really strange in it. Plus, it's not really creative like Memorial Address or I am.. etc.

I'm also one of the rare people who love the (m)u CD only cover.

I love the (m)u covers too! She's so cute in them. :yes

they took no time doing them

if you watch the cm, at the end you see them take the photos like one straight after the other and the whole thing takes about 2.5 seconds :/

I think the cover is honestly hideous. It's unfortunate too because it's without a doubt one of her best albums. I really wish they had put more effort into it. I like all her other covers (except for MA, which I think doesn't even look that much like her).

the picture looks corny! D: and it's just a random photo, nothing to do with the album/title IMO. and the heart, yes. when i saw that for the first time, i thought "you gotta be kiddin me..." ...... ;>.> so cheap

and the booklet is also bad, well, i was very dissapointed.
it's taken by Mika-John? does she talk about that? i ddn't know...

mmh, and i too think that mystory cover wasn't great... i like all covers until memorial adress, after that aslo her single covers became plain/boring...

I don't like the CD-only cover. Her smile is ugly on that one.
the CD+DVD cover is cute though. IMO.

i love to see ayu, but there's only a certain degree of ayuness i want to see...CD only was just horrible...idk, maybe the smile look too weird, fake @_@, but CD+DVD was more playful, more cute

I only fancy the cover with the DVD...THe other cover just looks fake...

I think that her smile was fake.And it creeped me out.
