A COMPLETE covers - disappointed?

Ok. Is anyone else disappointed that the A COMPLETE covers are pretty much a rehash of this?






And that's from A BEST 2, another best of album released just last year!
I was really wanting something DIFFERENT, NEW, FRESH, AND EDGY! anyone else disappointed in this way, or reminded of something else?

Discuss!

edit: this thread does not exist to say music isn't important, or that anyone, including myself, is obsessed with Ayu's looks and not her music. The music is the most important part. I would just like to discuss the cover

I'm disappointed but I can live with it.
It won't make the album any less enjoyable for me.
Take (miss) understood for example.

Im somewhat disappointed because of its lack of appeal or something.
Well, the 3CD was very weird and bland.
The 3CD+DVD was good and not that has an impact to the eye.

So far, I'll rate the covers in my country's college grade about 2.0 (The highest is 1.0).

I'm dissappointed as well, Ayu could come up with something more original, however in the end music is the most important.

I find these covers better than a lot of her recent covers... especially GUILTY and its singles.

Maybe the booklet pictures will be a surprise (like A BEST 2)

I'm a bit disappointed by the DVD cover, but the overall box package looks nice, and the content is good, so it's not too bad.

I think that ayu looks amazing in the covers and that's what important to me.
It's an A COMPLETE compilation so I didn't expect really something else and I love the results.

The covers are different from A BEST 2 -WHITE-'s booklet shots that you put here too.
On the covers her hair is longer more light brown color.
The dress (I think) is not that dot dresss too.
It's gold but another dress. The poses are also different.
The covers also has some sort of light gold cloudy background and the earrings are different.
ayu's facial expressions are also different and in the 3CD+DVD one she smiles XD

I like those pictures from than the cover. The covers have awkward poses. The CD version she looks stoned. But they're OK.

So what if they're both similarly tinted? I don't think there are any similarities between the two shoots... as there are more between the ViVi May 2008 shoot and the covers than anything else.

(Shouldn't we be voicing our disappointment in the thread about the covers..?)

I kinda have a feeling that the CD only cover might be used as the album sleeve cover inside the 3CDs + DVD edition

The reason why I said that is because avex used the CD only cover of Anna Tsuchiya's strip me ? in the CD + DVD edition as the album sleeve cover

I could be wrong though I'm just saying

The DVD cover looks a bit better in larger size, looks prettier.

Well I thought the covers would be diffrent. More like the cute, trendy and fun Ayu. Not the divaqueen. Even if the diva might fit quite well, but still. Not what I really wanted.

But I still thinks the covers looks good. They do. But yeah. Looks like ViVi-may pic goes A BEST -w- booklet.
