I meant that the last two were great choice for the cover. the one that end up being the actual cover (the first one) is a joke. How can you chose that over the las 2 pictures?

I don't know, but for a while I thought ayu let her worst enemy choose the covers.

I still don't get the hate lol... I like that awkward smile. The unpolished look shows it was done on purpose and not just a bad choice of photo.

And in A SUMMER BEST she looks hot! Omg

^ Oh! Sorry, for some reason the top picture didn't show up the first time.

Btw.... just saw the Lelio PV and it has pretty much sold the CD+Bluray version for me even though the cover is atrocious! I don't understand why people dislike the PV, it's one of my favorite ayu PVs of all time. Need it in HD!!!!

I agree with rainbow. I love the cover where she's covering her mouth, but I dislike the smiling one. It's too wide. Her smile looks forced, it's just a bit too much. Tone it down a bit, bring the lips in a bit, open the eyes more, and show less teeth. You're not advertising toothpaste.

I have a problem with the armpits.

Notice how the C on the CD+Blu-ray is going around Ayu's eye? Ayu confirmed Illuminati.

(miss)understood covers was a joke? the covers are 2 photos of the PV shooting of Pride D:

Tom Punks · #9 17th June 2014, 02:09 AM

WOWOWOWOw I'M ACTUALLY IMPRESSED i love every single one

I'm gonna pop back in and disagree with the couple of people who don't like the cropping on these photos. For once, I actually think they cropped them perfectly, and that's usually one of my main complaints with her covers. Now, the FIVE CD+DVD cover, THAT is a terrible crop.

I definitely agree that Namie, for the past 5 years at least, have had work put out that was clearly well-conceptualised and slickly executed. You don't have to be "innovative" or "different" but it should appear that you know what you are doing and how best to do it within the limitations of your abilities. I don't think Ayu has nearly demonstrated that level of craft in the same time, and that's really what separates albums like Love songs (ugh) and RnRC from gems like Duty and Loveppears.

That said, I think Colours is a massive step in the right direction. Can't wait to see what's next for her.

and of course, the one im getting, not the greatest cover... oh well.
I love it though!
I wonder why ts aYUMI

Bad editing? Sorry but no one can beat Secret (CD + DVD) cover at that. I really like it tbh! I don't want another peach pastel themed album cover.

Beauty4123 · #14 17th June 2014, 05:00 AM

I love everything about the covers. They are absolutely gorgeous!

I totally love ayu's look, she looks so fierce!

I also think the shades of purple that are used in the covers is beautiful.

The font for "Colours" looks pretty cool, as well.

If I had to choose just one favorite cover, I think it would totally be the CD only. So stunning.

More I look at the covers, I highly believe that typographer intentionally put the font in an awful way on CD+DVD and CD+Blu-ray.

If the CD+DVD and CD+Blu-ray has better cover than CD+DVD+candle and CD+Blu-ray+candle, everyone will only buy CD+DVD and CD+Blu-ray but not with candle. That will have $$$ loss.

That's a good point!

The typographer can make all the font and design the same in all five covers, but s/he did not do it and design CD+DVD and CD+Blu-ray worse.

Anyway, in general I love the covers. I want to have armpit like that.

rookies · #18 17th June 2014, 06:01 AM

CD+DVD+Candle is my fave cover! Very lovely.

Nu-NRG · #19 17th June 2014, 06:06 AM

First thing came to my mind was..
typography is all over the place in graphic design perspective..
changing the size or placement or capitalization = /= interesting
I read it as YUMI HAMAS..KI well the only thing that saved the covers is really just ayu herself..
I was hoping we'd get a continuation covers from (XOXO/Terminal etc)

AyumiAi · #20 17th June 2014, 06:11 AM

i dont know what people were expecting with the covers... like yes the name is Colours, but if you look at the music on this album its a lot more main stream, a lot more pop, and electro, so it wouldnt make sense to have some epic I am... style cover, which doesnt represent the music on the album, i find the cover suits it and ayu looks good on it and i am happyyyy.
