am I the only one who likes the covers?!!
omg. after hearing the terrible song sunrise i thought this single would be a major flop. but the covers are nice, hopefully sunset will be good as well.

the CD only one = :heart

but why does it look like she's grabbing her ear in the cd+dvd cover? oh well!

ok i am in LOVE with the CD+DVD cover now and am not caring too much for CD-only.. even though her body is so hot. i'll probably just buy the CD+DVD :yes she looks so cute

Hmmm....The covers are okay in my opinion. My main problem is that Shinomura or whatever his name is work with Ayu is over photoshopped so nothing looks real. As a fashion photographer myself I know that you want your model and the scenery to look flawless but that doesn't mean unnatural. One of my main problems is the background like others have mentioned. It almost looks like a backdrop rather than the real outdoors. My opinion may change when we get larger versions of the covers but as of right now these are not Ayu's best. Another bad thing is that we may be stuck with pictures of Ayu like this for a while since I have a feeling there is a contract with Shinomura that cannot be broken without many legal issues to follow which Avex nor Ayu probably wants.

Well they're not so good, but not horrible! I like the bikini!!
And she sort of looks like she's trying to smile a bit in the CD+DVD!!
(maybe just a bit?)

I have to say though, her boobs look great.

her whole body looks hot.. photoshop or not, i'll bet it'll look just as hot in the behind the scenes of the shoot we'll probably get in the next TA magazine

kazuyoshi shimomura is about to be the definition of epic fail..OMG

Larien 18th July 2009 03:22 AM

It's funny, actually, about the bikini...it's the SAME one that Ayu always seems to be wearing. We've seen it in blue, orange, and in white in the Deji Deji Diary.

:yes i agree :lech

ahh..the covers.. i dont really like it at all :tired :weep
i dont like the background, seems sorta cheap..
the greenery and the font sorta ruined it.

omg, her hair reminds me of the ayu in the Voyage era..bangs, long curly hair~

JackieRos 18th July 2009 03:30 AM

her body is banging but
the covers dont match the song

i thought it was going to be cute and summery

BE PREPARED FOR "UNAVAILABLE AHS"

i agree, he needs to stay away from ayu forever.

oneheart 18th July 2009 03:34 AM

Oh well...We have a nice body, but a sucky backdrop.

No its not. At worst its usually 50/50 - this is more like 90/10 or even 95/5.
Really? Normally it's more like 75/25 at first imo, unless for some reason everyone's really satisfied [which never happens]~ I really honestly just recall a lot of people throwing "EW I HATE THIS" at everything new for the last few years... NEXT LEVEL was 'gross' because of the teased hair or the dishwashing gloves with nails on the ends, Rule/Sparkle was "nasty" because of the poses she made or the pleather fabric all over the place, Days/GREEN was "too similar" to Mirrorcle World, Mirrorcle World's cover had too much "fishlips" and looked 'tacky', A COMPLETE had Ayu "looking like Beyonce", GUILTY's covers were 'bland at best', and more..

I don't really understand what people were expecting from these covers since we basically knew where they were gonna be [on some poolside] and what she was gonna be wearing.. and who was shooting.

I had a tiny bit of hope that they'd maybe look a bit better than they do, but eh. Can't change who she works with.. -sigh-

true, i expect something beter...the background looks badly PS to me, though ayu looks hot.

p.s i got the 'unavaible' thingie 3 times this morning already

extepan 18th July 2009 03:37 AM

i am disappointed by the covers too. it's way too amateur and fake, poor photoshop keying ayu into the background. it looks so fan made

I think the problem is Shimomura, Ayu´s covers get worse and worse since he´s working with her, and even Ayu seems forgot to smile.

And I criticize all the covers since Guilty because she used to have a VERY good covers, always were really nice, until Secret´s Era at least, we know that she can do very good stuff with the right people but now she´s turning mediocre in covers and that´s why I criticize them

I personally didn't like them at all at first. but within the last hours, they've grown on me lol

Photoshopped or not, Ayu's body looks hawt.

The wig has grown on me as well, and the bikini is just gorgeous. Her face looks cute in the CD+DVD cover imo.

However, i hate the background and i hate the font. I'm yet to see a good font in an ayu cover tho :lmfao

You can't even see "~LOVE is ALL~", which is what makes this cover look kinda fan-made. And the placement of the text doesn't help either.

The covers could've been MUCH better. That's a fact. But i think people are just overreacting as always.

Too bad i ran out of popcorn, cause reading threads like this one makes me wanna just sit down, read, eat and laugh.

I especially love how some of the people who don't like the covers are the people who don't like anything ayu does these days anyway :lmfao

It's always good to remember that ayu's a singer and not a model, and we're supporting her music and not her covers.
