Yet, you could certainly argue for a different type of cover in terms of concept (something more colorful, etc.) and a better font. Sure. Fine.

Please, crawl around Wiki and do some American single (or singles outside the J-Music World) research. You'd all save yourselves the pain.

But I forgot Hikki fans/a lot of j-pop fans were some of the biggest complainers ever (IMHO). Just remember that this is not the J-Music Industry.

And yes, Sundae, it's quite sad. Yet hilarious. I didn't know we could see single covers while listening to the radio! (This post will probably be buried, but whatever...)

look at the 'Womanizer' cover (without Britney) -- that just looks so AWESOME! And the Circus (single) cover!

if there's one thing American singles tend to have, it's awesome font, seriously. Katy Perry's, Lady Gaga's Christmas Tree, etc.

Like I said-- No one sees single covers in the US. Take the text off of them and show them around to people and they wouldn't recognize them as anything more than just another picture of whichever artist.

And I don't know about you, but I think the US cover for "Hot N' Cold" by Katy Perry looks a lot stupider than the "Come Back To Me" cover. The UK versions hot though. xD

Exactly. The fact that people are freaking out and saying that they're not going to support Hikki because they don't like the single cover is just ridiculous. Nobody in the States ever sees single covers because nobody releases physical singles anymore.
