Somehow I was expecting more from the covers...maybe because I'm such an art-geek, but I feel a little disappointed when they re-use art so much XDD

[Scotty]

It's 765. They have no choice but to recycle.

I just noticed the background of the RK cover is a screenshot of the stage in the SMOKY THRILL PV.

/facepalm

Yeah, too much is too much. They didn't even bother to tune the image for The World is All One!, see the traces to the left of Iori?

They could at least make it transparent (it collides with the background to the left). Don't they have the PSD or vector of it anymore? I mean, hell, they cut out the girls for the left part of it, but didn't bother to cut out the BG for the "right" part of it

I was hoping they'd make arts like they did for Master Artist 2 for SMOKY THRILL and The World is All One!

Ditto! I'm sure the artist does have a lot to do but that should at least include new art for the CD covers. :s Heck, I'm a lazy artist and if I was in charge, I'd draw more different things for iM@S media XD It's worth working and getting paid for!

Like I said, that may sound a bit demanding. But personally, I'd love to see more variety in the art used for the idols and the stuff they're pushing us to buy, rather than recycling the same stuff we've been seeing.

[Raestloz]

They didn't even use SP or MOBILE images this extensively. Kinda makes me worried.

I thought they'd... you know... maybe use an art resembling the choreography? Or simply idol activities?

Also, judging by the position of SMOKY THRILL's art, I can say Iori's hands for The World is All One! will be cut off a bit

wha--

So they had us vote on who would do it, and they ended up just including it all anyway? XD

Ah, well, more listening pleasure for us (though, I'm so curious about track 7. Wonder what that'll sound like...)

[yukipo]

UGH!!!
They would use cover art from something we´ve seen like twenty billion times already. (just like the Colorful Days and Overmaster singles.)
Not to mention the versions for "world is all one" couldn´t possibly be any worse. We had a whole series of CDs with those same trios and now we get more? There´s one idol in each of those that´ll just trash the song. I can´t believe they´d do that. But oh wait, to top it off we get an all star and an "everyone" version. Which will basically sound the same.

This is so disappointing.

[TweenDoriru]

Well, you can't really be surprised about -that-...they've had these versions of The World is All One for a long time. (The "vote" they had for these specific groups was forever ago)

And the all-star version and "everyone" version are different. Don't hate so much before you actually give it a chance, you know?

(Though, I agree with the covers. The amount that they re-use art is lame)

My guess is either Ritsuko doesn't make it in Allstars version (producers don't sing, or so I think), or Kotori will get her place in everyone version

OR

Everyone version  is the version I have right now, the one playing when you visit iM@S 2's page over at NBGI, the one without "M@STER" clause, the 2 minutes allstars version (Allstars would be 4 minutes)

Besides, you might like the sound of specific 3 than all 13. Choices... choices...

But really, I know the album's title is The world is all one!! but can't you squeeze one other song in? Dear Lord in terms of song number this album is so not worthy

[Maka]

Yeah, no way I'm buying The World Is All One. At least the 765/961 singles from PSP put in a few new songs and they were awesome [the 961 Overmaster CD is still one of my favorite im@s cds despite the fact that the cover is recycled art with a background on it]. This is just... rehashing the same song, slapping the game art that someone drew ages ago on it, and putting a 1300 yen price tag on it.

[Raestloz]

They could at least put in ONE talk session, that would at least make it... well... more interesting. This album is truly one of its kind: fully charged with nothing but its title: "The world is all one!!"

If they don't offer anything but the same song, only one with core harder than a hardcore would buy it.

That's okay, Smoky Thrill shot my core. ^^

So, maybe sometime in the far future, I'll have a DVD case and a CD case with the exact same art. That'll be odd. Though usually there's an extra B-side track, right?
