Mehh not feeling it :/, the shot is a typical, generic portrait and she looks a bit confused ...unless she's trying to communicate something that will make sense when the
full info is released? Guess Avex doesn't want to spend a big budget on her anymore, eh?

Also, since this is a best album with repertoire of her best ballads, I think it's such a waste that they didn't put more effort and stays on-brand with the conceptual AND iconic A BALLADS. Knowing visual has always been one of the tours de force of the 'ayumi hamasaki' brand...

Oh well. That's just my opinion. : ) Thankful she still release a follow-up.

While Moments performance was mostly fantastic, AVEX had some balls to include that pitchy performance of Jewel. It's so strange to see them release videos without pitch-correction. I guess they didn't have source audio to work with.

Gorgeous! I hope this is the actual cover. It would be so different and iconic.

Absolutely gorgeous. Whether if it's for the booklet or a PV, this album is SERVING on the visual field.

I always like seeing Ayu in kimono. I wonder what the video, should one exist, will be like though considering it’s very similar to the colour palette in “part of Me”.

Idk, might be Ayu with a kimono has some kind of supernatural powers or something, but a cover like that would justify me buying the album just for the sake of decorating my shelve.

Lol that's so right!!

But people, remember, the photo is just an offshoot of a video shoot - and from what we know, the director of the video (KS) does have a talent of making gorgeous things look silly in motion (Mirrorcle World..... for example ) XD
