I'm referring to the FIVE here - the 'ayumi hamasaki' font is quite nice.
I don't know about ~cheap paint job, but the typography definitely looks dated. I also don't think typography has ever been her either one of her design team's strong suit.

With that out of the way, I love the CD+DVD cover. It reminds me of her talkin' 2 myself single, which I think had two of her best covers. Can't wait to see the booklet.
