Honestly, I think (m)u covers are the worst. They are so... blah. And the monkey smile. Just... no.

the monkey smile always makes me O_o

I've never seen her smile like that like anywhere else ever lol

Lol i liked ss cover

Soo...
Why do people hate these so intensely?

Is funny how the majority of people that say that these covers are not even bad
and that we just want something to complain about are the same ones who go in
every thread saying that everyone deserves an opinion blah blah.

Yes everyone has an opinion obviously and you don't have to accept it.
Some don't like the covers and some do so what. There is no right or wrong.

Personally I always loved s/s covers and I even prefer (m)u covers over these.

:laugh

I swear I pick the worst times to drop back in here. Last time I was faced with the PQ covers which never really settled with me and now she managed to do a wonderful replica of the (miss)understood monkey smile. Christ.

Crossing my fingers for the DVD cover in larger size to be good.

It really grew on me. I kind of like it now.

Also any word on what the Japanese fans think of the cover? I mean they are largely the ones who are going to be buying this thing. Maybe this kind of cover appeals to them?

I think the tan looks good :shrug

i also dont see whats wrong with the covers but maybe im just easy to please lol

I never know what the japanese fans think, but I wish I did. It'd be interesting.

The 2CD+DVD is ok... In the 2nd one, Ayu looks so artificial...

I'm starting to like the CD only cover.
Also, Sunrise / Sunset's cover is lovely except for the background. Her ditzy look is so cute.

I think its just the coloring/lighting on these lq photos. I think that people might come around when they see the HQ or on the finished product.

It's because AHS is so negative and attractive.

I legitimately cannot see what's wrong with these covers. I think they're lovely.

Me too! :laugh. I really like them, and don't care for the "artifical" look. I can understand why people don't like them; the placement of her head for example, but you also have people who say that it's the most ugly thing ever *aka massive exaggeration*. And then I'm like, when you call someone like that ugly, I wonder what you look like! :P.

I always say yes to long hair covers! (:

But exaggeration has always been a key signature for a few AHSers, sadly. ):

yea if compare with Sunrise/Sunset, this covers are much much better..

This :laugh I wonder if people are looking at something else instead, seriously.

Her tan makes me think of Kuu lol

I love both these covers, they remind me so much of glitter/fated, it's nice to see her just sitting there smiling, not brooding or pouting, just a genuine happy smile!

I'm getting the OS press of this, not sure what version though, but I'm definately getting it :D

There's so many bad review about the cover... almost 14 page of this thread, not including from the other similar thread. Why just not telling Ayu how do we feel about the cover than rambling around in here then say fake stuff in her twitter like "Oh Ayu your ASB cover looks really beautiful, I'll buy it double!" and bla bla bla.
I mean just hit her in point, tell her that the cover is hideous or so. Still got some time to re-make the cover I guess. If they want.
IMO
