'M(A)DE IN JAPAN' out June 29th + 2015 TA TOUR (TA ver.) [II]

[Meat Pao]

Is avex marking up the prices of their CDs? Didn't standard CD editions use to cost like 3000yen

[rainbow_smile]

The info about the PVs is still not on the official site though lol

[truehappiness]

Yeah...

Ayu's team probably thinks they did it but forgot.

She's done a lot of the 'real Ayu' being 'natural' concepts, but this is probably the closest we've ever been to a frumpy-ish Ayu on a cover.

I'd love to wake up like that with perfectly tousled hair and flawless skin lol.

What do we call this? Frumpy chic?

[Yoake]

I really like all covers. I like how it fits the concept. The darker covers (general audience) refer to the first part of the album and the start of her career while the lighter covers (TA) refers to the second part of the album and the second part of her career when she started to focus on TA and true fans.

There are some sort of formula to calculate the retail price

[SpiceSquad!]

team ayu covers are ugly )))

[KPL]

The main one (CD+DVD) is actually pretty nice - minus the awful translucent font...but the others are just too uninspired

Compared to the last albums, yes, this album is more expensive and with less contents, why? I don't know. And the fact they do not give a first press poster or anything is sad xD

Maybe the Sumapura thing makes it more expansive ? (It's just 100Y more...)

[brener]

CD+DVD the best =)

[Minttulatte]

That CD+DVD cover is so fierce omg. I love it. <3

[KPL]

am i the only one who's annoyed that TeamAyu CD + 2DVD has a different font size?

[truehappiness]

I like the placement of the CD+DVD the most, tbh.

[Tomoyo]

I like the covers, the TA ones are my least liked, but it's because I don't think they go with the album really. Looking at them from purely a photo perspective, I think they are really pretty. As usual the CD+DVD is my favorite cover, but at least the CD+BLURAY is not the one I like the least. Which has happened the first time since LOVE again.

On the normal covers Ayu is looking like a final fantasy character lol

It looks as though in the TA covers she's saying, "Help me?" XD
