CD only (Limited Edition ToX ver.)

I believe there'll probably be another cover for the ToX version that we'll get to see when the actual album comes out.

The images before they were cleaned up for comparison . (They were rather grainy, I guess.)


The small versions originally made available on TeamAyu/the official site.

OMG these are so freakishly orgasmic it's crazy!

thanks!
and did she close her left eye on the CD+DVD COVER?

the limited one looks better in HQ. But eh :shrug it's still my least favorite. I was expecting more tbh.

But overall FIVE covers are freaking amazing. She looks gorgeous.

Her eyelashes are still visible on the top half of her eye, so I don't believe so.

I can't wait to see inside the booklet. I kinda hope they do a FIVE photobook for the next tour or whatever... or even CDL... -drools-.

They're nice : )

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:luv2
:heart

OMG!!!! GORGEOUS!!!!! Finally a very good photo cover!!!

Leslie Kee + Ayu = :love

wow they look great!!

Leslie's works always so stunning, even though it's the plain background, but he always ables to make the subject looks awesome.

can't wait for the booklet pictures too..i hope to see more awesome and gorgeous themes.

I love shape of her nails

I love how the nails are a sharper, more honed-down, gunmetalish version of the GUILTY nails in a way.

i loved tales of xilia cover!!

I smell photoshop hair on her left eye...

yep cd/dvd is the best.

I hope mayayu can make some nails designs

For Leslie covers, these aren't that great.

But as an album cover, they're nice too. Someone said she looks like Jaegoon (or HERO) from TOHOSHINKI on the CD+DVD cover and now I can't unsee that :/

stupid me, I only just noticed her fierce nails. :thud love them. I was missing her over the top nails for a while.
these are hands down some of my favorite album covers from her, shoot wise and design wise. I'm very impressed! I'm so glad they designed the RNRC tour sexy little things bunny ayu.. it's so adorable!

The nails looks like swords or something x)
And Thank God for Leslie Kee photoshoots!

her nails is so amazing
cd only version really took my breath away

love the style of the FIVE font...

btw.. who is the hand writer of "ayumi hamasaki" text? it seems like not ayu's handwriting style ... or it's just another typography font from computer ? ?

*sorry for asking silly question like this .. :D hehe

The CD/DVD cover is amazing! It’s funny, before the covers came out, I was praying there wouldn’t be another close up of her face. But I’ve got to say that this close up is great, she looks so fierce!!!

I don’t really like the CD only cover too much; it just seems kind of “off” to me. But I find the limited edition cover cute, though I don’t really plan on ever playing the Tales game.

I’m definitely going to get the CD/DVD version (which I always get for her albums).

I prefer the CD+DVD cover. This is a really good cover. I like it.

It's a font! :yes

It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop! :laugh

Yeah, I don't like them :(

what's wrong with photoshop
every cover is out photoshop is being a ringleader target....
every artists on the earth got photoshop on their cover,photos...etc...

in the CD+DVD cover, あゆ looks similar to Jaejoong from JYJ...

Thank you so much for creating a separate post for the covers! They are absolutely divine! Everything about them is nothing short of perfection! She looks gorgeous and the font is beautiful as well! These are some of her best covers to date! I ordered the CD+DVD version and I can't wait to see it in person! For the first time, I can't choose which one I like the best (excluding the limited edition TOX cover which is also cute)!

:luv2.........IT'S TOO DANG FIERCE!!

i think there's a fine line to draw when using photoshop to enhance a photo and using photoshop to an ungodly degree to where you can TELL it's photoshopped.

in my opinion with photoshop knowledge, it looks as though these photos have been 'smart blurred', making it look a bit unnatural to me as far as her skin tone and line definitions are concerned. it's more smooth instead of sharp, maybe once higher quality photos are released, they'll look better.

but with that aside, i think these covers are absolutely stunning. definitely some of the best she's done in a while. yay for glamour rock ayu!

I love love LOVE the CD+DVD cover!
the limitied edition one looks a little plain... but I ordered it anyways! lol.

Wow they're pretty damn amazing. Such energy and connection in the pictures. A little heavy on the airbrushing, but I can live with that.

people....you do know they are edited from the source, right?

oh for the god's sake ppl, didn't you read this;

--

All the covers are very gorgeous, amazing work~~~ n ayu looks so fierce♥
gotta be the best covers since GUILTY...!
and CD+DVD is my fave of course:)

thanks!

She looks fierce, but I wouldn't say these are my favorite. I don't hate them, but I'm not in love with them either. I guess I was expecting something more with a punch or something very...I don't know, not this.

It's good, but I think they seem kind of meh/boring to me. I do prefer the close up, though it's heavily photoshopped (though what isn't?). Also, the font was slighty off-putting; I almost read that as "PIVE" not "FIVE". :P

They'll probably grow on me, though; they slightly are already.

Gorgeous :luv2 .. I can't decide which one is prettier :thud

WOW.....:thud *speechless* I'm highly impressed. Ayu has not come out with impressive CD covers (imo) in a good while. These are ****ing fierce with a capital F!

OMFG!!!

:love:thud:love

this +10000 :yes

thank you!

even better & more fierce in HQ! :luv2 i love these covers so much, lol.

Please, please, please I would like a textless version, thanks in advance :D

Love the covers! :D

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'm so glad she doesn't have that "poor me" expression anymore. And no pouting, woot.

She could've taken out her eye doing those poses with those nails!!! hahaha

Anyway, I LOVE THE COVERS!!!! I love them so much!!!! Now I'm more than really excited for the rest of the album.

I am speechless... completely blown away.

Simply amazing...

Great covers. Love Songs was already better than the two albums before, and this is reminding me of the old Ayu (quality wise). Hopefully the songs will also steadily improve. Her lvl is always pretty high, but starting from Next Level I missed this one special single (or song) that blew me away. It's a good sign that she's taking time, so I hope I'll love the songs as much as the covers :luv2.

Love the CD*DVD one so much!

Even more gorgeous in HQ!
Lovely job Aderianu~

the covers are really gorgeous!!but i still prefer Love songs ^_^,maybe with the time...

These are gorgeous, but I would have preferred a nice background image instead of the plain gray.

OH MY GOD. SO FIERCE. OMG. I LOVE THESE SO MUCH *dies*

There's so much going on with those nails it's like whoa.

OMG Leslie Kee I freaking love you!! This is amazing!!!! Best photoshoot in ages!!!

Much prefer the cd only version, but I'll probably end up getting both anyway :(

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have words..... anyway.... i tought about Gackt when i saw this hahha i don't know why :p

Looks awesome! It's one of those albums where I like the CD Only cover better than the CD+DVD cover~ Ayu is fierce :)

Man, I am so in love with the CD+DVD cover. I wish it was the CD only cover. :P

Omg, these are amazing!!! :D
I like these rockish covers, since the last ones were so soft :)

I love the covers! But for the CD cover I wanna insert a glass of milk or something... the position she's in looks like she could be drinking something! :D

YES!! I finally see those covers! She looks stunning on these :love:
The shape of the nails are interesting, her outfit is nice~

The limited cd only looks very cute :D
Coincidentally, I was doing the Sexy little things outfit fanart at the moment lol :laugh

I am so happy with the CD+DVD cover!! *_*

When I saw it for the first time, I immediately had pictures of the "Because of You" musicvideo in my head; and I totally love that musicvideo.

So it's just perfect for me. I am gonna tag this mini-album with the CD+DVD cover as soon as it is in my hands and ready for the MP3-Player :)

AMAZING

CD+DVD cover looks really nice!! I am glad that I pre-ordered that version!
CD version looks similar to Madonna's True Blue album cover. (I am not saying that she copied Madonna since, many other people probably did that pose before.)

i'd get the CD only version! LOL. Honestly, the first person i thought of when I saw the CD/dvd version was Jaejoong RFOL

woaaaah! thx a lot! she looks so awesome inside here! i think those covers are the best since a long time... x3

WIN!!!

They're really edgy! I love them!

:roflmao

It totally does. Hahaha.

Not my taste. Hate the haircut.

Omg so rockish and sexy!! I'm loving the covers!!

Amazing covers! Love the CD+DVD the most.

I don't see why lots of people think she looks like Jajoong here, though haha :D

absolutely gorgeous! God save Leslie Kee

Compared the summer release

FIVE covers >>>is so over >>>> any other summer singles covers

anyway, the more i see the CD Only cover, the more i think it looks kinda weird.. haha XDD but it's still great though XD

I really like the bust shot, but I don't really care for the face shot... just looks weird to me... to much of a close up maybe? I don't know.

Still excited to hear the new songs though :3

The covers make me think of rock music...

Ayu is really cool in this cover! My favorite~

That's the one that I've waiting for!!Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG... finally EPiC covers! :D

epic face, epic nails, epic pose, just perfection! :heart

Is it me, or is her knuckle photoshop-messed up in the cd+dvd version?

^ That's by the person who cleaned up those pictures. They'll have more details once they're out in better quality. :yes

Magnificent. Magnificent. Magnificent! Masterpiece!

I was waiting for this and I know that Leslie Kee won't fail us! I won't mind having all versions!

I thought that I'm looking with the Ayu on her peak era.

Does anyone know what font her name is in? >_> *wants*

LOVE the covers!! i feel that CD+DVD gives more impact. and ayu in the CD only cover seems too perfect.. her skin is flawless! like a mannequin!

but overall is LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I believe that is Jane Austen! :)
Covers are perfect :D

Those covers are absolutely brilliant, probably one of my favourites of all time from ayu!

She looks sooooo fierce. I can't believe how good she always looks with short hair. <3

Love it Love it Love it. pure greatness!

Woah... They're so cool. I love everything about them. Even the fonts and lettering is awesome. Ayu, you done good.

Thank you! :yes

The covers are cool but way too airbrushed for my liking... I would have liked something a little more natural. The CD cover is really nice though :)

Stunning covers. Period.

fuuuuuuuuu regreted that I read that, now I can't unsee it too :roflmao
but those are great covers after a while! :yes

FABULOUS

I don't get the anime one though...

The covers are gorgeous. I'm not really a fan of the Limited edition cover tbh.

The anime one is the Limited edition (Tales of Xillia PS3 game version), it's just the album, with a main character dressed in ayu's bunny outfit from AT10 cover (which with it people can get a password inside that version while playing the game).

another proof that Leslie Kee is the best photographer ever :D

That's my only beef with the CD+DVD version one. It's still an amazing cover, though.

I'm in love with the CD only! :)

And I agree with some others here. I'm not too fond of the limited edition cover...
