I guess I'm a little late for this, but oh well...
I like these covers. If the covers would have been her in a rainbow-dress with bright lights in the background I'd been
sarcasticaly like "Oh yeah, "colours", so you're cover is... colorful. Clever."
And again, if the covers were black/white... It's so far from the title it's even more obivous.
Ayu's covers a neither the-literall-translation nor complete-opposite. And... It has pretty much always been like that. I like the covers.
If I'd buy an album (which I will, I just never buy them when they first come out) it'd be the
CD+DVD b/c that's just the way it has always been for me. I also have the CD version of many albums but only because I couldn't afford the CD+DVD at the time or CD Only was the only one available. I buy the Korean/Hong Kong version, not the Japanese. Cheaper.
But here, the CD+DVD has the weakest cover and I fricking hate it.
This...

Can someone please tell me what's up with the f@$}Łng candles?? Seriousley... CANDELS?? I'm sure Ayu's one of these yoga-and-aromatheraphy-helps-you-find-your-inner-strenght but I'm kind of going skitso over this right now...
Okay, the
aYUMI HAMASaKI CoLOURS is juvenile to say the least. Hah, when I was ~13, a bunch of girlz from my cl55 wrote l1ke th!s & the teach€r she l1ke tothallyh gave d3t3nti0n 1CE b/c ThEy WoLdN'T sTaPh OMFG!!11
If Ayu is trying to be clever, she failed. L1ke, tothallyh.
I remember having trouble adjusting to "talkin' 2 myself" but it doesn't look as bad, nee??
Still, the font is straight like VOGUE, yes? This is inside
Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary Special Edition
This font makes Ayu's covers look too much like magazine covers...
And it's too big - don't mind the color of the titel, but it takes too much space!!

^My reaction. She is trying something western which is pretty much what everyone is doing, even in my home country. But she's trying something new (for her) and that's great
off topic, am I the only one that gets headache from EDM?

I mean you're literally paying for a 15 minute sampler? Samples are for people to get a taste of something to get them to want to buy it. Could you imagine if you went to a supermarket and the nice old ladies that worked the sample stands actually charged you to try the samples?
Hell, if anything EDMA should be a free download on her official website for everyone to enjoy, while the 2 song free cds handed out at her concerts should be $5 you can buy at the stands outside. The cds give you 2 full songs to enjoy for no price, while EDMA only gives you a verse and a chorus of select songs from the album which you can hear for free on itunes when you press "preview all".
