I can’t with the fact we only have three covers. Where did the times we had completely different covers for each version went? I’m saaad.
The regular 2CD+DVD is the best among the bad lol

Today's video was so short! I guess the lack of lives makes it hard to do a video like last week. What a stacked tracklist... Life, SAKURA, TODAY, Curtain Call. BALLAD was a shoe in but I'm happy it's there.

The third cover they showed wasn't as good as the first two but I am really hyped for reveal 3

hmm. it does say "main cover photo" so there seems to be a chance that not all of the covers have been released?

plus, the end of the preview released today says "See you next Saturday" so, there's hope for more covers, it seems?

better than A BEST 2 covers a lot, IMO.
A BEST 2 covers look like ayu got beheaded and we would not see her alive again.

Evan I really like your edit!

If the shirt has all three photos in a row across the chest it probably won't look bad but I'm also unlikely to wear it lol

First a light stick then photocards... Avex sees how groups like TWICE print money and decided to go for it haha. I know Ayu did cards back in her early days but I really hope they don't go the kpop route with randomised cards in the future. Maybe a single card in the first press would be a nice bonus but I'm probably getting ahead of myself. At least the value for money is coming out in the package goodies even if the video discs are recycled af

Wow, life, HOPE or PAIN, TODAY, those are rare gems. Setlist is really good and cover photos are amazing. I wonder what will happen next Saturday? Maybe announcement of new PV?

TODAY is a blemish on this record.

Adore that they included Life though!!

Why are the covers like fucking blurry?? I had hope for at least the shots to become progressively zoomed out, creating some atmosphere of her surroundings...

With so many songs I doubt they will do reworkings or re-recordings at all.
