In addition, the use of Typography, UVERworld, is aligned on the right side of the album which uses a black font on the CD album to allow the album to stand out as the white background is significantly used as an eye catching point.

Here is the lyric of the clip to make things easier to understand:-
Ai ga ai wo "omosugiru" tte rikai wo kobami
Nikushimi ni kawatteiku mae ni...

Nanimokamo sou darou?
Batsu no warui jijou ni wa itsumo futashite kuwasemono no RIARU
Yuganda JIRENMA jidai de
Yakusoku shita hazu no futari sae kizukazu toorisugiteiku

Kowashiatte wakariatteta koto mo
Okizari ni shita
Kore ga nare no hate nano?
Mitomenaide tachimukatta toki mo
Ochiteiku toki no IMEEJI kara nigedasezu ni

Ah Nando demo sagashidasu yo
Kimi no me sono te no nukumori wo

Nanimokamo sou darou?
Batsu no warui jijou ni wa itsumo futashite kuwasemono no RIARU
Yuganda JIRENMA jidai de
Yakusoku shita hazu no futari sae kizukazu toorisugiteiku

Inakutatte kawari wa shinai machi wa
Boku no sukui wo motomeyashinai darou
Matomo na yatsu ni narisumashite
Dare mo ga kuzuresou na kesshou no naka de

Ah Nando mo uso wo kasaneru kara

Ai wa itsumo watashi wo kizutsukeru dake...tte kimi wa tsubuyaite
Shinjiru koto ga kowakute naitan daro
Yowasa wo shitte tsuyoku nare osorezu shinjiru koto de
Nikushimi ni kawaru mae no hontou no ai wo shiru no darou

Hoshigatteta mono wa
Kokoro ga nai tsukurareta konna sekai jyanain da yo
Miterarenai riyuu no kakera mo nai hibi
Iyashisa ga yadotteta utsushitsukareta hitomi ni

Kokoro wo iyasu uso sore mo ari nante
Demo kokoro wo ubau no ga uso darou

Ai ni chikazukou to mo kamitsukareru dake...tte boku wa tsubuyaite
Shinjiru koto wo yamete ikitekitan da yo
Zetsubou kuratte tatte mo akireru hodo no omoi de
Hakanai inochi shigamitsuiteikya ii

Hoshigatteta mono wa
Kokoro ga nai tsukurareta konna mon jyanain da yo

Kono machi de ushinatta ai
Sono imi sagaseba
Sukoshi mashi ni natte susumeru darou


English Translation:

Before love says that love is, "Too heavy," rejects comprehension
And turns into hatred...

Just about everything is so, right?
In situations where you get bad penalties, there's always the reality of covering them up and faking them
In the era of distorted dilemmas
Even we, who should have made a promise together, pass by each other without noticing

I abandoned the fact
That we destroyed each other and understood each other
Is this a wreck?
Don't acknowledge me; even when I confront it
I can't escape the images from when I fell

I'll find your eyes and the warmth of your hands
Time and time again

Just about everything is so, right?
In situations where you get bad penalties, there's always the reality of covering them up and faking them
In the era of distorted dilemmas
Even we, who should have made a promise together, pass by each other without noticing

The city that won't change even if it's gone
Won't seek our salvation, right?
In the guise of someone honest
Everyone is inside of a crumbly crystal

Because I make more and more lies

Love only hurts me always...or so you whispered
You were scared of believing and cried, didn't you?
Learn your weaknesses and become strong, by believing without fear
You'll learn of true love, before it turns into hatred, right?

What I wanted
Isn't this heartless and contrived world
On the unviewable days without fragments of reason
Lowliness dwelt in my eyes that are tired of seeing

Lies that heal the heart- They exist
But it's a lie that will steal my heart, right?

Even if I'm to draw closer to love, I'll only be bitten...or so I whispered
I stopped believing and lived like that
With thoughts that I'm amazed of even if I stand up against despair
It's fine if I'm clinging onto a brief life

What I wanted
Isn't this heartless and contrived thing

A love lost in this city-
If I search for its meaning
I'll become a little better and be able to move on, right?

Music CD Package

i have came up with an idea is to use a foreign music which i have choses is from a japanese band called the "Uverworld". They are J-Rock genre which i am willingly like to use as they my favourate band since they've got good music, so i am going to use their song called the "Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi" for my digipak's website of the new bands music. After going all through decision, i chose not to use english as they're mostly used so i tried to use something fresh and creative for my music package and for the website. Therefore, the song would be challenging ignition to my work as it would bring freshness and creative outcome.
