The covers are kinda raw, maybe thats why some people cant stand them. They are used to "perfect, elegant Ayu".

I really like the messy hair.

I am so on the fence about this. In some ways, I agree with you completely that it's nice to see unrefined Ayu but at the same time, Zeke had a good point that the natural look as been way overplayed.

I keep noticing things I like about these covers but overall they are just...lacking.

I prefer that natural looking instead of "natural ayu in the sheets" which is completete ***** because she always have perfect hairdo, tons of "natural makeup" and always same atmosphere (light, colors etc) which just makes me hella bored (3 albums? really?)

No more fish lips (in 10 min on PS):

^ It looks so much better

Uhhh, I feel like those look more fishy now.

For me a cover is important when I want to buy a physical copy of a cd because when I'm not impressed about it I usually buy it digital, but it is true that it doesn't affect the quality of the music itself, what I hope is this mini will have great songs.

It looks really weird imo... Idk, the way the picture was taken if you just close her lips it just doesn't look right to me.

somehow i love them a lot

I was having a bit of fun with the covers too, trying to… spice them up. They're definitely amateurish. I just played with the colours.



With the first one I wanted to make her look like a green alien with black eyes who's not just serving fish lips and chips but is actually opening her mouth. It looks like she saw a ghost.
The last two I have no idea what happened. At least there's no fish lips. They're giving me ayaka rainbow road cd+dvd teas though with the messy editing.

omg the first one gave me a mini heart attack :shakehead

I actually really like the 1st one. It's exciting!!

the covers grow on me..

CD+DVD is the best one.

Saw a ghost?? in this scenario she is the ghost. My god, that pic made me screamed like a bi*** :roflmao :roflmao. great job by the way

god job. For the first one I feel like I'm seeing a horror movie poster. But maybe to do more alien again you should color in black the white we can see each side of her iris?

Honestly, the second edit looks quite good LOL

^ I though so also lol Her face and posing look less awkward tbh

She looks so beautiful in all the covers!! I love how different the covers are from what she has been doing.Also I really don't get all the hate but I mean... In this site there's always hate for everything Ayu does. I became a fan in 2012 when Party Queen came out so I really don't mind any of the covers/music style Ayu has gone this past years. People here just over react for EVERYTHING and think that way things will be corrected which is never going to happend :P

I LOVE the covers, especially the CD only!

I get what people are saying, but she's done the lip thing since, like, GUILTY at least. I've become used to it by now, and expect it, so I don't care anymore, lol.

I think the covers are intriguing. I want to look at them, they're interesting. It's that "pretty/ugly" thing. Whereas I find RnRC to be far, far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaar less interesting. Not intriguing at all. Those are the epitome of uninspired covers, imo. Just glamour shots.
