I really like these!

They obviously shot them in London - great idea.

They are decent covers... I mean, CD only is good but lacks the Rn'RC logo, and CD+DVD it's pretty cool for the whole British thing, but still Ayu's expression isn't her best.

Still, more natural than recent covers, and with a nice rock & British feeling

If someone told me that the CD only cover was Ayu I wouldn't have believed them. Still good covers though! Now for sure I'll get the CD+DVD version.

Great! I really like them!
They look more like 'candid' type shots.... like they didn't do a huge amount of photoshop...
I love the design of them!

Very cool covers! I like the CD+DVD one more, but they're both pretty neat. I was expecting the covers to have a British theme. XD

I like them. It's good that they have that London theme. So photos from Deji Deji were from covers (and maybe booklet and photobook) shooting!
CD+DVD is so cute.
I love everything in them - design is cool, font is nice. Her facial expressions... There were worse than them earlier. These aren't bad. I can look at them without bad feeling

I thought her look will be more "rock" instead of being cute.......
a little bit disappointed because i really hate her innocent and dead-looking eyes in the CD only cover....

i like the covers but they don't go along with rock and roll circus. of course, us being ayumi hamasaki fans we know that she went to london to do some album stuff and the covers are from a photoshoot she did there, but really, anyone walking by in a music store and picking it up will be like "what the hell does this girl in a phone booth looking "super kawaii desu ne" have to do with rock and roll, or a circus?

Agreed. I dont see anything resembling or insinuating a Rock n Roll Circus with the covers. Forget the setting, even the energy level of the pics is too low for a rocknroll album. The lollipop bow tie picture wouldve been a better choice. Regardless, CD + DVD is lovely and will be the version I buy. CD only is weird.

THIS. These are just not cutting it for ALBUM covers, sorry. The CD+DVD one is okay, though I find the text and red bars really tacky. The CD-only one is just... gross. She doesn't even look like a human? I don't like where it's cropped either, and let's not even get into the fact that it looks like something I could have taken with my crappy camera, not with a professional camera...

For single covers or a magazine, this would have been okay, but for album covers... Nononononononononononononononogodno I'm disappointed and want to cry.

I love both, but the CD+DVD one has weird title placement.

I love them both, but I feel like she could have done them in a studio in Japan. Ayu, if you're gonna fly somewhere for your CD cover, take ADVANTAGE of it please

This is a feeling i get from more ayu covers, like Sunris/Sunset .. those were really dissapointing after going to such a wonderfull location.
She could have shown allot more of the Punk/Rock Vibe that London has.
I'm not hating these covers, but she could have done so much more with it
