Bette cover concepts for this single would have been (but aren't limited to):
CD Only A:
she could have been laying casually on a park bench in an area where there were some kind of cherry blossom trees taken at night under the glissoning moon on a starry night.

CD Only B:
she could have even been in water with blossom petals surrounding her at night under a lit moon with fireflys.

CD + DVD:
she could have been laying in a field of flowers blossoming at night and having the photo taken as such an angle you could see the moon.
But the songs are NOT about moons and blossoms so to have these concepts would be pointless. Since WHEN does Ayu's recent covers represent the titles in anyway? I'm not sure why people were actually expecting moons and blossoms and then being extremely disappointed. Why does everything have to be so literal with you guys, seriously xD. Please, take it for what it is, not for what you want it to be. Otherwise, you will ALWAYS be disappointed.

It's a picture. A picture of Ayu looking like ayu but with a new haircut. No terrible font, no terrible poses, no terrible props, I don't see what could be the problem. Not every cover can be a work of art.

Let's all be glad it just isn't Sunrise/Sunset ~love is all~. I don't hate it as much as some do, but it just looked fake.
I'm actually pretty shocked at all the hate this cover is getting. And I'm surprised it never struck anyone that it just might be simple in order to follow up with the rest of the singles to make a visually cohesive cover project. If that were to be the case, moons and blossoms for one and then horses and rainbows for another would just look tacky.
