STUNNING GORGEOUS PERFECT BOOKLET

Excuse me as I wipe my drool and tears up.

Her face looks a bit Tomiko Van-ish in the 'fierce' shot.

Damn...If not the cover why not make that awesome shot the poster? What's wrong with these people?

But even if there was a vision or theme that she was aiming for that was beyond the comprehension of us petty mortals, the S&S Love is all cover alone throws that theory out the window.

Many will agree that PQs cover was trashy not sexy, and poorly executed at that. I don't think its negative reception is any indication of Japan's overall view of sexy women in their 30s. Wasn't Namie 30 when BF was released? I don't think the ultra sexy cover affected the album's reception at all (or 60s70s80s either).

As a greedy ayufan I wish they would have included offshots from the past summer singles in a photobook

I wonder if any other Sunrise/Sunset pictures were any good/better.
