oic but.. there's supposed to be flowers right? I didn't see any from the offshot pics anywhere lol

They might be added in post production or something? Who knows, really...

I just want to see them so I don't have to guess, haha.

i wonder if theres gonna be anything special about the obis this time :)

The cover is beautiful *O*

I think it's a bit strange that the cover isn't on the official site yet but already at YA. :laugh Just saw it there yesterday.

I love how she's looking here... But this font is big NO to me.

Her eyes look kind of weird, I don't like her face there at all.

I really think it's her mouth that just throws it all off for me. If I cover her mouth, it looks ok. The upper lip part underneath her left eye is higher than the right side.

I guess her right eye could look better too. It looks like the curve where the tear ducts are is awkward compared to the position of her left eye.

I know I'm picking it apart and really, what good will it do? Nothing. Idk, just critiquing I guess. Lol.

hmm, not too bad I guess. There's been worse lol

about her mouth..
i think it's just a trend to have such mouth-pose...
i saw many girls doing the same thing..not only in Japan..just girls in Asia~

Damn, this has to be the most over-analyzed cover ever.

Even for S/S we just all agreed it's ugly.

I like this cover, I think it's gorgeous, but it looks more like a magazine shoot which disappointed me a little. But hey I'll get over it, especially cause the PV is gonna be awesome!

thanks....but i don't like it....looks like a porn star's hairstyle

LOL

omg... now I've heard/seen it all :thud

LMAO

hahahahaha

Out of all the things you could possibly say about her, you say she looks like a pornstar??
That's ridiculous! I didn't even know pornstars had particular haircuts.

Epic quote! :laugh

the font/text sucks!!

Indeed. It would be another thing if she was doing this

I've never heard of so cold porn-haircuts and even if they do exist I think they are referring to the hairstyles in the places which thankfully Ayu hasn't had an urge to show us ^^

You can know the people who watches way too much porn in this thread :D

So my cousin and brother (a pre-teen girl and a teenage boy) saw me looking at the cover. So I asked them to critique it. They don't know ayu well so no bias.
They said her eyes looked weird. Her nose was ugly and strange...it was okay but they were just so messed up
I was surprised at their response. I asked them about the mouth. They thought it was pretty and gorgeous and fine. When I mentioned that's what most are complaining about they were bewildered.

Just a weird occurence for me. So in vivi. The photos look nice as far as poses go. I hope the alternate covers will have those

I always ask people and they always say she looks pretty :/

so meh people is always overreacting... SPECIALLY in this forum... not sure why lol



this forum is like a magnet for... interesting people O.O

What's the problem with the font? Some people...they're never happy! The font is one of the best ever...and I really mean it.
