I wish the cover under the slipcase would be a photo of the present Ayu with the same pose and make-up as the original cover...
That will never happen lol

THey did state this on mu-mo...

I think going for the same layouts is the best choice since the biggest appeal on those reissue stuff is the nostalgia, so they're looking for to make people feel what they felt fifteen years ago. I wonder if there are gonna be CMs for this release similar to the original ones

[//ABEST]

i like that they keep appreciating original one and doesn't ruin it trying to make it like something new

[Corvina]

I do think using the old packaging and poster are a good thing for releasing and promoting a rerelease.
The shirt desings on the other hand are sloppy. Why not fading the edges out to make it a bit more appealing at least?
Everybody could indeed make one at the next copy shop for a good price and quality.

I LOVE the original cover

[pimenta]

I agree that using the same packaging design and poster as the original was the right choice. They're re-releasing an iconic album, best to keep the original iconic design.

I wanna work at avex for a week or smth just to see who handles this stuff and how they handle it lol

That'd be amazing. They could even just add this new picture to the booklet, as the last page for example.

The t-shirts are fabulous and are obviously inspired by vintage band t-shirts. Y'all probably wanted some sparkly tacky shit in pink.

^ umm, I fail to see how one needs to be inspired by anything at all to slap an album cover on to a plain basic t-shirt......

Is this a joke? I seriously can't tell. They only thing they were inspired by is the ORIGINAL A BEST COVERS.

[Aisha_Angel]

I'm gonna need for Ayu to step it up. Those t-shirts look like something I made for fun on CafePress.com. It would've been awesome to just have the entire front cover of the album cover the entire front portion of the shirt with the 15th anniversary written in gold.

Pretty much... T-shirts with an iconic album cover are pretty common among rock band fandom, and this seen to be what they were aiming for this time.
