i loved the wig he's lookin at *--*

^it looks red )

arrggghhh

"Show us the coveeerrr" oh please oh please :thud

well, the mini album comes out august 31 so i think we still have some weeks till we see the cover. :(

I love startin' covers. Most amazing thing is her brown hair omg I die


That wig is gorgeous I hope she uses it!

^maybe if not for covers, but for some magazine photoshoot...

Startin' covers aren't ugly - they are just boring. Thinking off the top of my head, I think they are the most boring covers/photoshoot she ever had.

^^Sunrise?

^ Sunrise/Sunset is many things, but I wouldn't say "boring" is one of them lol. It's like the horrifying gift that keeps on giving--whether you want it to or not.

I personally think MOON/blossom, Crossroad, and Moments are among her most boring covers. The only thing Moments really has going for it (for me) is a thematic tie-in to the PV. That's something I really miss in her recent single covers. Especially in 2010, the single covers looked like an afterthought or a desperate attempt to latch on to the latest trend instead of part of a cohesive package.

In my book, Startin'/Born To Be... is redeemed by that beautiful smile. :love

leave all covers offtop in this thread )

What constitutes as a boring cover? Like what does she need to do for it to be interesting?

I think bold and delicious is one of her most "off" and boring covers, doesen't realte in any way to the song and looks like the least stand out pics of a photo shoot.. IN fact most of the single covers leading up to Mss understodd and miss understodd itself were pretty bad (STEP you.. or lord and those album covers) or bland (Heaven and B&D). Except fairyland.

nothing could be worse than &

Exactly what my response would have been, haha.
MOON/blossom is pretty boring too. crossroad is just gaudy and totally does not match the song itself. Moments I really like because Ayu looks gorgeous and at least it's not just a blah background (like one color).
Well it's just like "here I am with a fur rug wrapped around my body sitting on a black background *smile*"

*gasp* :(

I'm kidding. that's blasphemy. & is one of my favorite covers lol
