I see some people "complaining" about Utadas eyes and mouth.
If you didn't realize until now, I think Uta-chan has what they call a "lazy eye". She has also small hips, pretty big shoulders, is very small, has thick lids under her eyes, looks not that good with brown make-up (see Exodus cover.....), her lips aren't even formed.
She has two little dots in her face (which I actually think are very cute! but some people don't like those kind f things) and sometimes she does have a plain look.
She doesn't even like to wear make-up at all, and doesn't dress up as Miss-Mention-Me-Ahm-Sexay.


THEN WHAT. That's just what I like about her. She's not a high-up celebrity that you could never meet in your life, she looks like a cute girl from around the corner who you run into at the bakery's.
She's down-to-earth, philosophic, writes damn good songs and weird (~kumaaaa/rolling on the floor to get the fire I'm in out/I love that bottle of Sahara sands I got from a fan/...)
I think she's way more interesting than all those boring artists that show of as much from their bode as legal, sell a lot but aren't interesting one bit and are more known for their personal issues than for their music. (Britney...)


Utada hasn't got very good covers for some albums and singles, but she stays simple - isn't that refreshing in these times where all kinds of visual stunning things are thrown into you when you even take a quick walk to the mall?
I think of her Wait&See ~Risk as one of the best I've ever seen from an artist, LOVE the Distance and Deep River and Ultra Blue pictures because of their genuine simplicity.
Not to forget the quality of music she's giving.

So for this single. I agree that the font could have been chosen better, but I adore the picture. It makes me think of a '90- Utada Hikaru (think it's the clothes - they look a little hippie-ish), like it's from the start of her carreer.
It's stylish, except for the front that looks a bit out of place, she look decent (much more decent than on First Love cover) and I think this cover will give a good image of her. Heck, I imagine her there coming from the studio where's she's been working on some music with Kuma XD
