Hmmm...contrary to what many have preferred, I will go with the CD-only cover, which IMO is decent at most

Photoshop is quite evident in the CD+DVD cover, and 'Ayu' looks like a porcelain doll to me

EDIT: And since Secret and RnRC covers were shot by the same photographer, I would say Secret's cover 3X> RnRC's.

I think that hairstyle makes her look a lot older too. Well, more her age, I guess. Compare these next to NEXT LEVEL. On NEXT LEVEL she looks young and fresh and her she kind of looks old and confused. lol

^ She looks old in NL's cover too. Why can't she do away with 07-now hairstyles and bring back memorial>m(u) hairstyles again?

^You think so? I think she actually looks younger on NL's cover than MY STORY, (m)u, Secret, or GUILTY. xD

For me, I'd prefer a cover for this album shot in the studio. (I'm not a fan of outdoor album cover shoots.) But... the main thing making this cover bad for me is really the hairstyle and the expression.

I'd like the CD+DVD a lot more of RnR Circus was written the same way on it as the CD only and not in the middle of her face. XD

I should've expected these, since it's the pictures we've seen for a while. XD But it's great to see the official covers! As usual, I really like them!

Thank you so much for posting!

I was expecting something totally different for the covers. BTW I like them, especially cd only, but I'll buy cd + dvd of course xD

I like them 'cause she looks more natural than others, not diva-ish style xD

I noticed that haha, but it's also freakishly coincidental how the CD-only cover for both seems to make Ayu look weird on a whole new level, and hated by the general community as well XD

I'm glad the (m)u cover was brought up. I forgot how much I didn't like those covers when they first came out. Now they're kind of endearing and I like them. I still find the CD only to be absolutely... unflattering, but I don't mind it now. I hope the same happens with these covers.

btw about her hair... I'm sorry but I really loathe the hair as well. Sure it's cute and all but lol it's just... I don't know, unflattering on Ayu? She needs some REAL hot hair like in 2006 or something. Ever since 2007 her hair has been a big bleh

I get this too, She looks really pure on the CD+DVD version.

But if you look at the ViVi DEji Deji pictures, then i think the pictures in the Guitar store or on the bridge in front of the Big Ben just fit Better.
It's not bad for ayu to look like a Diva because she is a Diva (without the adittude)

WHOA! They are AWESOME! I love them both, but I prefer the CD + DVD ver.

Finally something beautiful after the disaster NEXT LEVEL covers were. (this is just my opinion!)

AHH! I LOVE THEM
I was so surprised when I saw this thread when I logged in I was like :O IT CANT BE!
The CD+DVD looks better than CD only but they both look really really good, muuuch better than a lot of her other covers in my opinon
And with these covers, the title of the album (which used to bother me ALOT) now seems a lot better

I like the concept of the covers, but something about the way her face is photographed strikes me as odd or unflattering. They're not bad "what were they thinking?" like the (Miss) understood covers, but my first impression is that these aren't as great as they could have been. Oh well. Since I like the style and colours I could grow used to these, unlike MU.

Her expression in the first photo is odd and reminds me of (miss)understood even though this shot isn't as up close to her face as (m)u was shot. The second cover is cute, but she looks almost like Kaela Kimura. At least that was my first thought looking at it how close there is a resemblance there.

I don't hate the covers or even dislike it, but I don't LOVE them either. I think it shall grow on me. I'd much prefer CD+DVD cover over CD only.
