It's weird waking up to a thread and it's like 6 pages longer with more complaining and random shops around it.. oi.
Anyways, I think that the people who do 'edit' the photo and 'make it look better' here do okay, but really.. if you try to imagine how people would react if she had a cover like that [standing in front of a green screen-like sunrise or sunset] I don't think it'd be different from what we'd have here at all. Sure, we'd get some "Oh, but at least it kind of relates to the title.. I think.." but for the most part, people will still have the same opinions of the covers looking artificial and etc. So in the end, perhaps it's best for most Ayu fans to learn from this 'experience'.. that just because a cover isn't as fantastic as you'd want it to be [and to be honest, why would you when you know that Kazuyoshi shot it weeks before?] you shouldn't explode like someone just shot your best friend on some forum.. blaah, haha. Perhaps it's just that I've grown a bit as an Ayu fan over the last few years, but I just don't feel like the covers or PVs really mean much to me anymore.. hm.

....why should she travel all the way to Bali only to made those 'studio-like' covers.

Sometimes, I don't think people think about when she goes overseas for 'vacation' and really, it's sort of an excuse to go places when she 'works' there. She doesn't usually go to a overseas destination to just shoot a cover or just to take photos.. she records PVs, records new singles, writes new songs on the plane, shoots photos for magazines, makes a new photobook.. there are so many possibilities when she leaves Japan, it's kind of scary, but to assume that she simply went to Bali to shoot covers is sort of ridiculous when you think about it and realize that she
really went to ~relax~ which is what people want her to do practically all the time, haha.
