do you mean her singles covers aren't original, or her covers overall? because i think it's pretty par for the course that singles don't go all out in terms of style/appearance. then again, that really depends on the artist in question. some of them don't even bring much effort to their albums -- for instance, how many times can we be satisfied with a close up wide-eyed shot of hikki's face? well i guess that doesn't matter, since she's on hiatus.

I was mainly talking about her single covers.. but I don't think many of her album covers are that creative/original either. I think her most creative ones are Endless Sorrow and AUDIENCE. No other covers really stood out as original to me so I just figured a long time ago she isn't one of those artists with original/unique covers and never expected that

ooh yes, that's true. i think it's just that my standards for singles covers are so low (to my shame haha) so i'm happy to settle with some things that might easily disappoint others. though i do agree that Endless Sorrow and AUDIENCE were phenomenal in terms of the 'message' behind the photos.
