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-
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
