I guess I'm a little late for this, but oh well...
I like these covers. If the covers would have been her in a rainbow-dress with bright lights in the background I'd been sarcasticaly like "Oh yeah, "colours", so you're cover is... colorful. Clever." And again, if the covers were black/white... It's so far from the title it's even more obivous. Ayu's covers a neither the-literall-translation nor complete-opposite. And... It has pretty much always been like that. I like the covers. If I'd buy an album (which I will, I just never buy them when they first come out) it'd be the CD+DVD b/c that's just the way it has always been for me. I also have the CD version of many albums but only because I couldn't afford the CD+DVD at the time or CD Only was the only one available. I buy the Korean/Hong Kong version, not the Japanese. Cheaper. But here, the CD+DVD has the weakest cover and I fricking hate it. This... Spoiler:
...is gorgeous. Can someone please tell me what's up with the f@$}£ng candles?? Seriousley... CANDELS?? I'm sure Ayu's one of these yoga-and-aromatheraphy-helps-you-find-your-inner-strenght but I'm kind of going skitso over this right now... Okay, the aYUMI HAMASaKI CoLOURS is juvenile to say the least. Hah, when I was ~13, a bunch of girlz from my cl55 wrote l1ke th!s & the teach€r she l1ke tothallyh gave d3t3nti0n 1CE b/c ThEy WoLdN'T sTaPh OMFG!!11 If Ayu is trying to be clever, she failed. L1ke, tothallyh. I remember having trouble adjusting to "talkin' 2 myself" but it doesn't look as bad, nee?? Still, the font is straight like VOGUE, yes? This is inside Vogue Paris 90th Anniversary Special Edition Spoiler:
This font makes Ayu's covers look too much like magazine covers... And it's too big - don't mind the color of the titel, but it takes too much space!! ![]() Quote:

Do you guys feel the cover for CD+Bluray is a bit strange? Ayu's left ear's position is sooo low. It looks so weird.
I am seriously debating if I will buy the CD+Bluray >"< |

I was manly talking about the previous promotional things: free cds at the concerts, the new pvs showed during the live, new songs never heard before performed before the release, etc. It's strange and new for Ayu, so I was wondering why they decided to promote the cd this way. |

I like them especially the CD+DVD covers. Finally, something different covers. I thought she will continue doing a photo shoot covers with same color scheme from LOVE SONGS to LOVE again.

I don't like how big the text is, but apart from that they're pretty nice shots.

Um... guys...
I was trying to join the CD+BR cover with the textless one (nevermind why) and I saw something weird: ![]() (Her cheek and neck) I mean... WTH? Did someone at avex just photoshopped already photoshopped picture? ![]()

lmao she's so messy sometimes, i love it.
She probably googled the album covers herself to use as a header. |

Guess they made use of the notorious giraffe-technique to expand Ayu's neck in those covers. It looks somewhat... long?

t see something like that coming |

It's nice to know there's less photoshop in the real cover than in the promo textless picture.

I personally like the juxtaposition between the title and the cover. For me, "Colours" suggests liveliness, fun, even messiness, and then the covers show an image of Ayu that is remote, distant, serious, cold, and polished, reinforced by the blue tint. I would like to read it as emphasizing the tension between the sleek EDM sound she is exploring and the usual emotional rawness/raggedness of her lyrics/music.
But maybe I'm just over analyzing ![]() Also, I think the idiosyncrasies in the font are just a matter of graphic design balance (vowels are in lowercase, left, left, right, increasing number of letters so Colours is in the middle) but they also wanted a smidgen of visual interest. Makeup and nail polish are great. They match the cleanness of the covers, and the nail tint gives off a cool (cold), stony vibe. Recently, I've been obsessed with geologic colors like slate.

She looks gorgeous and they're not beige. That's great.
I like the text like it is on the CD only, it looks awful at the top/bottom. The case mixing is not good though, it looks so juvenile. And why is it over her eye?? Noope. Oh well... at least they tried to find a non circa 1999 word font for this cover. |

I would love if there is a version of the covers not like a typical cd, like a box set in a really nice package: the font in metallic so when you move the thing it get different colors plus a key chain with colors lights. Just dreaming
