you can't expect everyone to love the covers.just like you can't expect everyone here love Days

idk if we're looking at the same pic or not. I got a relaxed/natural feel from that one. An awkward pose that looks uncomfortable/unnatural is like.. the NL covers.. or the S/S or R/S ones..

^ Yes Ayu looks so comfy & relaxed and beautiful~! Unlike NEXT LEVEL where she is bending over a box ('o')

ngl, I have a big chair near my computer and I sit like she's sitting in that blossom/MOON pic sometimes, it's reli comfortable :laugh

^ Eh? Reli? I've never attempted the pose before, aha (^_^);; It just looks so uncomfortable to me! XD

lol I meant the blossom/MOON one not NL one, LMAO

Oh!!! Ehe~ I sit like that all the time <3

She was stretching okay?! :laugh

No one is going to like everything, but some are acting like it's the end of the world and it's honestly pretty entertaining. So haters keep on hating lol. But take it to the left.

^ Lol!!! :laugh

:laugh A+ post. Now to wait for someone to take your post too seriously and be like "Excuse me? I have the right to my opinion in thinking these are the ugliest covers ever created, I shouldn't have to take anything to the left! :gun"

Legendary post at 12 o'clock~

Anyway, I would say that blossom / MOON's cover is actually quite natural and comfortable. I sit like that quite often and feel no discomfort whatsoever. So... eh.

At first I really didn't like these covers at all but I really love them now! Ayu just looks really adorable on them!
Oh and thanks for the textless SURREAL__RAINBOW! Looks great!

Those are few of ayu's best looking covers imo and few of the best covers of this year by far.
Didn't see many covers that are as good or as beautiful this year.

oh wow i actually really like the MOON/blossom cd only cover, reminds me of A BEST 2 :yes(one of the few people that actually liked A BEST 2 covers etc, even though it took a while)

also do we know what the first press poster looks like yet?

Her head is in an awkward pose. If it were up just a little more. She kinda looks cramped up a bit.
I hope nobody's thinking I'm a hater because literally I would go to the moon and back for Ayu. I worked my damn ass off to go see her and shelled out a HUGE HUGE HUGE chunk of change because I was that driven to see her, with amazing seats. I just really wanted something EPIC to be pulled off for this "project" - it's like, damn I could dream up and single-handedly create better, more artistic and glamorous covershoots for Ayu than her whole damn team can lately.

I'm sure ayu has her own input with regards to this single/cover. It's not just her team.

Well I chose to say her "team" rather than "ayu" herself because if I choose my words more wisely I'll offend less people. Blaming Ayu for anything that goes wrong with the "Hamasaki Ayumi" name is just begging for a trashing around here. Lol.
I just saw this at the bottom of the post and I must admit that you called that one. With me going on my rants. Lol.

Actually for the good or the bad I question if ayu herself choose the used covers or the final forms or even the way they are eventually (at least for some releases or singles or whatever).
Mainly because after the disaster of Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ covers ayu decided to change her art director that was with her since the debut.

to those who wants to buy ayu's singles/CDL DVD,CDJapan is having promotion right now.
