Interesting thing connected to singles and albums cover
 

I found this during ayu released (m)u, but I was not sure until she release GUILTY. I found ayu tried to unify her singles and albums by CD covers in some ways by different eras.

Let's take a look!
(miss)understood era

All of these except B&D singles covers are all close-up shoots, so does albums covers.

All the singles and albums , expects the Secret CD+DVD covers, they have the whole body photo shoots.

GUILTY era - need to take a look in 2 different ways,
CD+DVD

In here, all of them are half-body (head to chest) photo shoot.

CD only

CD only version of singles and albums have almost to whole body photo-shoot.

I just find this interesting in different parts of eras. Ayu seems want to unify the CD cover in some ways? You can say I think too much, and they can connect each other.. but that is the way I think...

Thanks for reading.. :D

thats a cool thing to point out. I never really realized that before.

yea i mentioned about the "GUILTY" era similarity before...and another forum member said it lacked originality in this case...which, i have to agree...but it can also feel like a collection kinda thing

I guess, but I think it's mostly a coincidence and they grew to like the trend, not that it was meant to be like that from the beginning

I dont see any resemblances.. :shrug

That's a pretty good observation. ^^

i would have never noticed that...haha. its a small detail for sure, but hey, maybe ayumi did it that way on purpose. or maybe its a coincidence. who knows?

either way, its an interesting observation.

thats really cool observation..

if you dont post it, i never think about that one.. ^^

i think that's just coincidence. after all there are only a limited number of ways you can picture a person.

good observations. i didn't notice them at all.

wow.. it's nice of u to notice it..

i noticed that long ago. I don't know why they are doing this. A pic of the whole body is better than a close up one. Although sometimes a close up pic of ayu is better than a pic of whole body.

Wow excellent observation you've got there :P

A COOL Observation!

Awsome that you realised that :D I never thought about it.. Maybe she wanted that..dunno :/

Hey thanks for all of you guys. Am I considered I am too into ayu? :P

I thought I was too nerdy to ayu because she is amazing.

I agree with you. There are really limited ways to takes a picture for a cover: full face, half body, and full body.

On the other hand, I think it's more proper to say that ayu's angle of shots are similar this year. All CD+DVD showing the FRONTAL face (unlike... ehm, let's say hikki's Flavor Of Life, showing a side face). Same to the CD. Standing there, looking at the front (well in GUILTY she tilted a bit, but still she's looking at us).

i noticed with all the guilty releases, but thanks for pointing out secrets and (m)u xD

I've realized that usually her CD only covers are a whole body photo and her CD+DVD covers are a close up photo shoots!
