I see it more in the HQ 2CD picture than I do in the little ones, so it might just be contrast, but her tan looks less like sun baked skin and more like she was rolling around in mud.

But, in the LQ ones it looks more golden, so I'm hoping that's what her tan actually looks like.

I don't know much about tanning either. And I'm also not bothered by it in the photo, but apparently it's very bad? Lol

Idk. The more I see the cover, the more I like it, not that I disliked it.

I think its just the coloring/lighting on these lq photos. I think that people might come around when they see the HQ or on the finished product.

CD+2DVD is better ~~ haha!!

Definitely leaning towards the CD+DVD, the pose, and scenery is very summer-esque, great cover

. I can`t tell,.. is she doing the lip thing?

The CD-only cover reminds me of [GLITTER] too much.. it`s not as interesting as the CD+DVD..

Sanks for sharing the larger version!

I don't think she looks like she tanned, but rather, like it were her natural skin color. It's not quite "bronze"--probably due to the desaturation of the image. We all saw how truly orange she was haha.

She looked tan during the promotion of BLUE BIRD, but that's the only memory I have of her with a (seemingly) real tan.

But that's not what bothered me about the cover, especially because the smaller version looks more vivid than the medium size/quality we have now. (And, on my iphone, it looks fine)

I really don't understand how they can make THESE covers after all the beautiful ones like BLUE BIRD and &?

This. BLUE BIRD is probably one of my favorite covers. I'm still trying to get the a-nation poster.

BLUE BIRD is like a legendary cover! I have posters of Ayu in my apartment and when I had an after-bar party once, everyone's favorite was the BLUE BIRD one.

That just means that her team isn't doing their job properly and that her taste has deteriorated.

Her taste has deteriorated for whatever you think is good taste and same for what you think is a proper job. I always find that an interesting opinion.

I still think ayu has looked worse in past covers including just the way her face looks so I never know what to say overall about how good her taste is or what her team does. These two covers seem fine to me besides the awkward head angle. But I've already gotten used to it, now that I'm not picking it apart when I look at it.

I never see what so many fans see. I always feel like I'm missing out on something lol.

Zeke. · #14 6th July 2012, 12:19 AM

You know I just don't know how people on her team, even herself, can't stop and take a look and say "we can do better." I mean, isn't Ayu a perfectionist?

exactly! shes perfectionist and take a thorough look in what ever decision she made,watching back her documentary in 2004,where is that Ayu who made a tight control in every single of her release

seeing Leslie tweeted the covers made me feel to go and slap him in the face "you should look,even a fan made/edited cover look better than this"

emi♡ · #16 5th July 2012, 10:08 PM

Honestly...I mean, I like the covers...even the scary distorted head angle has grown on me...

but idk I think it's easy to see why they'd annoy people

And actually...idk as much as I love the background and pose of the cd dvd one...I kinda prefer the smile a lot more over stupid duck lips....but meh. Duck lips never bugged me THAT much.

Could it simply be that no one on Ayu's creative team can give her an honest opinion on how they think the final product looks? "Oh yes, Ayu, it looks fantastic!" I mean, wth. Does Ayu herself even approve her final products of things? :/

Actually, for a while I was fairly convinced that Ayu surrounds herself by yes-men.

But I figure, if that's how she decides to run things, oh well.

I don't think we have enough information though about all this stuff.

Maybe they sincerely liked it, like I do?

happiholic★ · #20 5th July 2012, 11:12 PM

I can understand people not liking them, especially given that they are not 'typical Ayu', however, I do think that we are in a new era, style wise, considering the controversy of PQ.

Personally, I love the covers, though I like the 2CD+DVD one more. I'm not bothered by duck lips. Ayu has always done them better than most.
