Even the title font looks nicer in high quality! :D

I actually REALLY like it now...

the CD+DVD cover isn't ugly; it's just garbage compared to the other 2 covers :laugh

Mmm~ they're like a posse.

CD only: Oh, hey girl!
CD+DVD: Eh, wha?
microSD: Excuse me, she's talking to you!

^ lmao win

the larger pic is better, but honestly the cd only is the most beautiful!!!
ayu with a beautiful smile is = EPIC WIN !!!!!! :heart

it look better in larger image

I was watching antm and this shout looks like...she's confused. LOL. not so much smizing and the character isn't so strong

I admit, I lol'd @ truehappiness's post.

LOL! That's almost as funny as that picture you drew that one time of Flavor of Life's cover.

Another good thing to look at, for people who are interested in this quality stuff...though it can get tedious, is to look at the quality between Vinyls and CDs.

Everyone knows that there are all those elitist people out there whining always about the superiority of analog LPs to digital CDs, well, these 48 kHz tracks overlap with that a little bit, as far as the frequency stuff goes.

There really is a war going on right now, and sometimes I think it's hard for the recording people to actually *know* what to do right.


This is probably so boring for everyone, but it's exciting to me, because it's like, the beginning of the CD becoming obsolete, well it's not the *beginning*, since we have downloads and stuff, but this is like...REALLY making it obsolete, because soon, they just, wont be sufficient enough for the space and quality that these HQ tracks need.

And it's like...either CD type media is going to be more expensive because they're going to use the Super CDs, or...it's just gonna die out, and everything will be digital then.

It's just cool lol And Ayu's like, at the forefront of the future. She's always been like that. TAKE THAT GAGA. ;)

:D:D:D:D

The only one I don't like is the CD+DVD cover.

I don't know if its really a war. A war is when people die and/or get hurt, this is more of a dispute between people who have no lives.:yes

I liked the CD+DVD the most before, but now I LOVEEE it! Her eyes look really pretty and I like there's a reflection. These covers look more real than the ones lately

emi was obviously being hyperbolic. :P

I still think CD and USB ver is prettier like for USB&CD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CD+DVD.
But I don't think it's ugly, it's weird cause of her lips :P Her eyes ALWAYS looks fantastic.

DID YOU GUYS SEE IN TA??

they updated the USB version!!

it looks soooooooooo pretty!! is all pink though XD



Here is a screen capture!! :D

EDIT:

...and people controlling the quality of your music ;)

ughh, the rightmost pic should have been a cover too! A replacement for the wonky cd+dvd! she looks so gorgeous.

omg ITS PINK lol

@ero: I agree. That DEFINITELY should have been a cover.

I like it pink better :)

I would die if it was red, green and white, like for christmas and stuff :thud

I can't wait to receive my USB!!!

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIIIIIS x1000000.

IT'S SO PINK AND WARM AND HAPPY AND I LOVE IT AND YES. JUST YES. :love

I think that photo you're talking about is the photobook! :thud:luv2:luv2:luv2

I feel bad for Ayu's male fans who don't like the color pink. It's very effeminate packaging.

I think so too, but it's cover worthy!

THAT NEW PIC = GODLY, AMAZING, GORGEOUS, PERFECT, ETC :love
I soo can't wait to get that package!!

[2] OMG it's so pretty...

.... **** it. I'm getting it. *places order* :P

Wow that looks really nice!!!
If only it cost less!!!!

I really love the bigger CD+DVD cover!! :heart

..... now I'm really stressed out because I could receive the USB on mid January >__<
Since my friend helped me to bought it directly from amazon and gonna send it if he has mood u__u
Ah well, I'll stick with CD+DVD first ~

ok,its pink!!!!!!! the most fab album ever. this is gonna be first time for me to buy every version XD PINK !!!!!!!!!!!!! GORGEOUUUUUS

yayyyyyyyyyy!! lol I love this

[2].

lol I just so happened to be browsing on CDJ and noticed they still have the LE in stock. Guess some people decided they couldn't afford it... I can't either tbh but still lucky break for me! XD

It has been in stock for a while. CDJ also advertises is they have less than 30 of an item in stock...so they must have more than 30 left. It's weird that they just somehow got a lot more.

From TA.

A shot of how the LP version will look like. Plain USB, but omg pretty photobook!! :heart

http://img686.imageshack.us/img686/9267/47031814.jpg

Is there anywhere still selling the LP ver? I kinda want it now. LOL

CDJapan and Amazon.

They added a 2nd press of them. I got mine from CDJ after they did that.

Just letting everyone know, CDJapan only has -22- copies left.

I need this USB version!

^^Oh I see (reading the description). Looks like everything is included too.

Currently, figuring in my head how the hell I'm going to pay for my upcoming order, this, and SNSD's new release because I want them all by Christmas but my bank account keeps saying that's not possible. But strangely, at the same time I feel like a weight has been lifted... XD

OMG!!! that's so lovely...
and the photobook pic...OMG!!!
but still too pricey for me...
praying that one day, there will be overseas version for that...(mission impossible though)

I already posted it before XD but yay!!

I used the spoiler because some people might not want to see it yet??

The photobook cover is so pretty!!~ and the bigger pic of the cd+dvd looks so much better! Now I have no problem with any of the covers. :D

Dream ON COVERS!!




From TA

I really love the micro-sd usb version :heart, but it's too expensive...
And I agree that the cd+dvd cover looks better in higher resolution :)

She's SO CUTEEEE!! ^^

Ayu throws off the covers, imo lol. You got the serious looking Urata then you got Ayu in the back going O3O

OMG I love the Dream ON covers!

wow, dream on covers are so good. <3

I think she looks fierce, love them

can't see it...reupload please...

^LOL! I know right? hahaha

Im so happy. I bought the CD-ONLY and USB version, cancelling my CD+DVD. I love all the covers even more. being shot in the suburbs makes the cover feel so precious and raw. Now seeing the USB packaging, im NOT regretting :)

eh?? I used http://imageshack.us/ to upload... and I can still see them



LOL here if you can't see it: http://img195.imageshack.us/g/fggggfdfgd.png/

:shrug

emmm... the DREAM ON covers are so photoshopped. Their skins are smooth like plastic.

I love Love songs more.. :P

You're right...because obviously the Love songs covers aren't photoshopped at all!

Wow, this thread is gonna fill up faaaaaaast. And I was gonna sleep too! Ahaha.

Of course they were retouched, but it's a different kind of retouching for Dream ON. They didn't seem to know what they were doing on Dream ON and blurred out their skin compared to Love songs' covers which seems to have a soft focus sort of blur.

the Dream ON covers are pretty good, just kind of disappointed in the amount of photoshop.. they kind of look more like digital creations (sims? lol) than actual people.

I think that's the purpose of the photos, to look like game characters or something?

↑@SURREAL_RAINBOW, thanks for sharin'「Dream ON」covers :)
I prefer the【CD+DVD】version...

these are better than her own album cover :P

I'm sure this thread will be done in less than 2 hrs or so :P.

And like you said, of course Love songs covers are retouched as well, but ayu and naoya looked so plastic (video game liked skins?). They just look weird.

i can see it now...
thanks..

it's good..

lol Pretty sure the effect is supposed to be there.

Kind of like, the Namie best fiction shoot, but not as much.

^^ I think so, too.

It'll probably look better in high quality and the B3 [MOON's poster size] poster is probably gonna be that awesome shot from the webpage.

Holy mother of photoshop, why must they taint good shots with so much editting? And it's so amateurish, too.

Or maybe that was the idea. Like Namie's Best Fiction covers.

i really like the package of the USB version!
it's all pinky! haha~
i'm glad that i PO it..yay!
can't waittt!!

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVZD-38219

21 copies left for pre-order on CDJ!

OMG!!!thank you~
is sooooo~ nice...the photobook cover is...SWEET *O*

Thats some serious photoshoping in Dream ON covers. But with that amount of photoshoping it simply can't be anything else then meant to be, like Namie.

I'm excited for the usb+etc...! It do looks cute! ^__^

Dream on covers & the USB packaging :thud OMG I WANT NOW!!

I hope the USB is more than what I'm seeing... haha. It just looks pink and plastic :-\ Granted, it's what's inside that counts...but still.

The photobook picture is really pretty :D

^Yeah, I was thinking that too... :-/ NL's USB was so gorgeous with the A-symbol so I expected this to be on that level (hehe) or better... I hope it's just the angle or... maybe they haven't decided on a final design yet? x__x

so,the one on the left is booklet.and the right side is the photobook and the top one is ???

The thing in the middle on top is a sleeve/slipcase cover for the set.

i see.this is so cool.

I like Dream ON covers. But if Naoya have a bit more muscles, it'll be perfect.

OHMYGOD It looks good. I wasn't expecting the USB to be well simple.

OMG IT LOOKS PERFECT! I can't wait for my copy *-*....

Also, the book on the left looks like the photobook so what is the book on the right?! (Besides the most stunning picture ever!)

^ I think that's the slipcase/box?

USB ver still available at CD Japan..
go grab urs now haha XD

Ordered at CDJapan, $130 goes to Avex :(

I was wondering... the limited edition doesn't come with the CD?

^
Nope, only with the DVD as far as I understood.

That's a pity, I like having the CD to listen to on my CD player. :( Does the DVD include the making of videos? It's say it is here, but it isn't on the CDJapan site. D:

^
It does ^^

The really small looking book on the left is the lyrics booklet for the album, the square thing in the middle left is a slipcase for the set, and the really big booklet on the right is the photobook. It looks as though the microSD version's lyric booklet has the CD+DVD's cover too.

I wonder if people remember that the set is gonna be rather... large, haha.

I think having the super high quality .wav files is so that you are able to reproduce your own CD with lossless files? Hopefully you're able to burn them off, unless there's some weird security thing going on with them.

Who is competing?

Good news, haha.

The combination of (a member of) AAA + Ayu probably doesn't hurt either. I hope it sells relatively well!

She looks much better in the slightly HQ version of CD + DVD. Might be buying that now :D

I hate her bangs/fringe on the Love songs covers so much.

So the only album track with a tie-in is Love song...interesting.

wahhhhhht?:thud but i love em :yes

the Dream ON covers and the Love Songs SD packaging are pretty...damn...epic

i disliked a bunch dream on covers -.-

and for this time we'll have a booklet on the usb ver (the NEXT LEVEL one didnt have it)...
and oh, *-* now i'm starting to like cd+dvd cover too *o*
it's all so...

MOON / blossom ~Reloaded~

i loved

^^NEXT LEVEL had a digital booklet though.

The USB version had something better, a digital booklet! Though it wasn't as high resolution as it could've been. It'd be awesome if the USB had the photobook and booklet in digital format too since scanning is pretty medium quality sometimes.

I think it's time for a new thread~

ohmy. that's true. hahaha;. i just forgot it... sorry guys
