Will put those special mentions when I work On the write up.

That's our list. The top 3 here would be my top 3 as well.

Anyways. Time to vote on Episode 20.

Best Single/Album Covers.

The 48Groups plus Nogizaka46 have had some awesome covers for their singles and for their albums as well.

These are the best ones. I think creatively would be a key. But I'm sure some others would go into ranking this list.

Don't worry, there is no limit. Like with the music videos. All are allowed (group/solo/sub units) will even count the albums covers for the theater songs.

Voting Begins now
Voting Ends on January 18th

@ForrestFuller
Just to be clear, when we make our list, Is it only one type/edition per rank or all the covers collectively for that single?

In other words, should the list look like this? (One specific cover per rank)
1.) Give Me Five! - Type B (Limited Edition) Cover
2.) Mae Shika Mukanee - Type C Cover
etc...

or like this? (All covers collectively for that single)
1.) Give Me Five! covers
2.) Mae Shika Mukanee Covers

 

The 2nd one (all of them) since I wanna give love to all of the covers for a single/album. Kind of like how kk127 voted.

 

1. Kibouteki Refrain
2. Mae Shika Mukanee
3. Suzukake Nanchara
4. Ai, Chuseyo
5. Natsu no Free&Easy

2. Sakura no shiori
3. Gingham Check (JKT ver)
4. Gingham Check (JP ver)
