And even if it wasn't, which is totally was, it's still stupid because five and hope are in no way related or symbolic of each other otherwise. lmao

I'm sure she probably is just legit going for the "A ONE -> ALONE" thing. It is super cheesy but it is what it is.

The way FIVE is designed, it's H<3PE.

As of right now, FIVE is the only logo she's had a hand in designing. It had to do with LOVE&HOPE post-tsunami. IMO, this is probably the most ignorant post you've made here...

The covers are nice I think, not bad.

Prefer the CD version because I don't like her blank stare (bc of the contacts), I think the CD+BR edition kinda creepy.

The CDL is a great idea with bad results, the logo's font is bad and her sitting on a dice felt weird idk cheap kinda way, it could've been better. And the duck lips....I thought it was gone for good but I was so wrong

I recognize that the TEXT on the cover is somehow supposed to look like the word "hope," but I don't believe for a second that she conceived the title "FIVE" with the MEANING of "hope" remotely in mind. At all. Like, I remember there even being an interview where she said she didn't know what to call it and Leslie Kee suggested "FIVE" literally because there were five tracks.

There was no magical symbolism behind the word until the typography/logo design came into play. Just because the title text can spell out "HOPE" if you look really closely doesn't mean the title is meaningful or that its "meaning" is any less an afterthought.

I'm not ignorant of the story behind the title. I just don't buy it.

is her hair forming the letter L in both CD ONLY and CD+Blu Ray cover? Lol

Delicious n Bold · #**105** 17th March 2015, 03:21 AM

holy lord I just noticed her hair 'forming' an L on some covers! Ayu'll get divorced and serve us her vespertine! YAAS can't wait for her pagan poetry and hidden place!

freedreamer · #**106** 17th March 2015, 03:26 AM

SERIOUSLY HAHAHAH THE HAIR FORMING THE L?!?!

kotora · #**107** 17th March 2015, 03:26 AM

Surprise, the Font on A ONE covers works very well. I am glad she didn't use "A" logo for Letter A.

I LAUGHED SO BAD PEOPLE TALKING THE L HAIR. XDDDDDDDDDD People really have nothing else to say beside paying some unimportant details! XDDDD

CDL cover, fish lips is back! <3

It looks so Instagram, lolol wasn't expecting it to be this simple though.

truehappiness · #**109** 17th March 2015, 03:44 AM

I wonder what to expect for the booklet... and back cover shot.

Earth_maiden · #**110** 17th March 2015, 04:18 AM

I wanna see the full tattoo that she has on the top of her back! Is it new? I don't remember it being there in her "naked" photoshoot.

Beauty4123 · #**111** 17th March 2015, 04:34 AM

...Omg.

The "A ONE" covers are absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous & stunning! The simplicity of the covers just make them sooo much more beautiful, too.

I love ayu's hair (that color =

) and makeup & I totally love the font they've used, as well! I think it fits very nicely.

I am, overall, super impressed & completely satisfied with these covers and just even more excited to listen to the album, already!

..Oh! And if I had to pick one favorite cover, it would totally be the CD+Blu-ray.

stunning!!!

I also really like the CDL cover, too! It's so cute! I love ayu's look, especially her nails & shoes.

Sunrise · #**112** 17th March 2015, 04:37 AM

omg so glad I ordered the CD+DVD version
LOVE these covers!

SheFliesHigher · #**113** 17th March 2015, 05:11 AM

The album covers are pretty uninspired, and I really dislike the CD DVD one. It looks like she fell out of bed and is waking up like, "Wha, what happened?"

The CDL cover has too many graphics and Photoshop and shizz going on.

Bigtop · #**114** 17th March 2015, 05:31 AM

My goodness...I'm speechless. I cannot say anything about it - except it's just purely STUNNING! One of my favorite album covers recently. miwa's ONENESS covers also released, and while it's also epic, it's not as epic as what ayu has.

Also realized did not use a specialized "A" logo there, scratching out rumors that we're going to have this some kind of "love theme". Although that space - A(L)ONE...?

As for the CDL cover...meh.

tokyoxjapanxfan · #**115** 17th March 2015, 05:54 AM

I love the hint of tattoo peaking out.

I hope we can see more in the booklet!

andycruize · #**116** 17th March 2015, 06:23 AM

Finally preorder CD+DVD in cdjapan. The cover is awesome!!

tasking · #**117** 17th March 2015, 06:47 AM

Am I the only one who actually likes the CDL cover? The logo is campy and fits the photo used. I wouldn't be surprised if they did the photoshoot with it in mind.

hayasaki · #**118** 17th March 2015, 07:07 AM

But its circus guise!!! It can't be a casino. The cover looks casino all the way XD But i like it nevertheless. Its just its too out of the theme like the CDL Goods and the logo if you'll take the literal "circus".

And i'm really loving the "headache" pose in the CD only version.

tokyoxjapanxfan · #**119** 17th March 2015, 07:25 AM

Yeah the fact that it's circus but she went with casino is really annoying. But she went the same route with RnRC tour. That had casino portions as well. So...maybe she's confused lol

asagarichan · #**120** 17th March 2015, 08:09 AM

I like this covers!
