Is The (Miss) Understood Cover THAT ugly?

I've never understood the hate. It's not THAT ugly. If it is, why?

Obviously, it's the opinion of each user, but I think they're not great because we know there are off-shots that looked much nicer.

The CD+DVD is kinda cute, although a bit boring/too simple. But her face in the CD-only one looks REALLY weird. Some people complain that her smile looks fake, but to me her whole face just looks deformed in that photo >_____< I hope I don't sound too harsh, but that's probably THE worst photo of Ayu I've ever seen But it is a matter of opinion I guess
Oh, I also thought the red heart was a bit cheap, but that would be quite ok if it weren't for that photo.

I'm probably 1 of the rare fews that like both covers especially the heart symbol on the covers

guess some people doesn't like her to smile but rather to scorn haha

Come on, not only her smile, but her entire facial expression is so forced it's almost painful to look at (cd-only)

The entire cover and booklet were bad. It was basically her worst ever. Sometimes when I go through her albums in my head, I forget about it because I've blacked out the (m)u cover. D:

No I agree - it doesn't LOOK like her at all. She looks ... monkey-like. It's really weird O_o

That happens to me too.. I go in my head "MY STORY, Secret, GUILTY...................................wait a min, something is missing"

The booklet is pretty bad, but then again, it's taken by Mika-John, probably with one of ayus Panasonic cameras.

I just wish I could have been in the room when they decided that the smile photo should be used.

You have no idea how much that cover (CD only) turned me off when my friend first introduced me to Ayu. x____x good thing I found her other songs/covers some time later.

That's my opinion. But I wouldn't consider any of them "bad". I think it's more that Ayumi has some GREAT covers and that everyone knows she can do better.

I think it's that the heart looks cheap and I can't find another picture of her where her smile is that big and creepy. O_o
