me too! I hope it won't disappoint me :D

i first, i was like WTF!!

but now (after 4 days looking at it), i starting to think its NOT that bad..

although i know her creative team CAN do a lot better..

:thud

I love the very natural and classy album covers of the old idol days...

Lol no

I actually really like the CD+DVD one. :) I think she looks elegant and beautiful. I would like the CD one but her odd expression just strikes too hard for me. D: There's something off in her expression, like her smile is forced while her eyes remain dull?

I wonder when we get bigger photo of CD+DVD

MtE...even the smile doesn't look so bad anymore xD

but um her creative team is not really a creative team imo xD i dunno who they are....I mean i can do the same ****..i can even do the make up myself, take a photo with adecent camera, edit it and slap a random text on it and call it "a cover jacket"...pfft.. i expect more from so called PROFESSIONALS and such a giantic corporation as avex....*rolleyes*

I agree. I think what's missing is a real spark in her smile. This to me looks like "sad party queen", because the smile looks so forced. Well, I think her "monkey smile" in general looks forced.

dat hair though
oh eff it, i'd prefer that cover to this ayu one lol

Lovely top and she is pretty too. Her looks do not match her deep voice.

That Akina cover makes me feel so nostalgic. *siiiiigh* Mostly because I'm pretty sure I had that sweater at one point and remember posing like that for my senior photos lol. Also, 'cause you just gotta respect Jpop's roots, man.

I like that cover because we don't always get a ton of those.


You cant really get caught up on the hair or the outfit...that was just the style lol

But I think some people might not like it being so natural and boring...I think if it fit the song it would be nice. I wish she would always have covers that fit the sound...

I'm one of those very few ppl who likes 2CD cover, but what you said is true. Her smile does look forced. She was trying too hard, so in the end it doesn't even look natural.

^
that's why I dislike the 2CD :/ I mean ok, Ayu is into the ronery queen concept since PQ, but I'd rather preferred a natural and lovely smile like Love songs CD-only cover one.

But it will grow on me like PQ CD+DVD cover though :shrug I'm kinda neutral about these covers lol.

I would have liked to seen her wearing a burqa or something mysterious

I like the cover, too. But I wish she were smiling or something. Her expression is deader that ayu's.

Damn, when you think album covers can't get any worse.

It is...it reminds me of Kristen Stewart and the facial expression she typically has. So I gets to me lol. Maybe irrational, but whatever.

Deader than ayu? Hah!!!!!!!!!!!
