And so on.

-sigh-

Let's look into the future at the reaction to L's covers!

"Wow, Ayu, way to have crappy covers for your 50th single."
"Some 50th single this is."
"Next release please, I haven't heard any of the songs, but I'm disappointed by the covers enough to not pay attention to this single."

The sad thing is that I'm not really kidding about this.

I think that there should be a built in AHS forum complain tagging
the users will be able to choose built in tags like:

- her face are too photoshopped
- too much photoshop
- exaggerated expressions
- plain covers
- her eyes are too big
- nooooo!! fish lips!!!
- it doesn't fit her!! (she is now allowed! how could she!?)
- worst covers ever!
- worst covers ever, I hate the (whole) single!!!!!!!!
- ew, next please
- ******
- stupid poses!
- she is 30 ffs why did she wear this/did that!? (she is not allowed to look young anymore)!
- crap/py
- uninspired, just looks like a magazine shooting
- Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~'s covers were better!!
- Why ayu??? (TELL ME WHY? TELL ME WHY?)

Did I forget something?

I personally don't have problems with those, it was just funny making the list. =P

[waterballoon]

^ U forgot, "I prefer S/S covers to this"

sorry peope, but S/S are epitome of fugliness and it's impossible for Ayu to beat those... or at least, i hope so

I find someone who prefer S/S covers on another site. I was O.O you're weird.

[Zeke.]

I love how we all know about the S/S ~Love is All~ scandal/tragedy.
It's just common knowledge and widely accepted. Lol.

The "Sunrise/Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~'s covers were better!!" one made me burst out laughing. The whole list is hilarious though.

I've seen several people say this for these covers and for the MOON/blossom ones too. I think it's just their extreme way of saying they don't like a cover, I can't imagine someone honestly feeling that way.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I know people who really like S/S covers.....

[emi♡]

^was it that single that made them all fans?

oh but they are. Perhaps not normal street wear. But just normal high fashion clothes. Normal meaning...they don't really have a style that goes beyond being just fashionable.

Well so far as we know right now though. She could wear the outfit in a PV or something...and even though it would still be just normal, it would at least be tied to the single in some way.

that's all I'm saying lol

Uhh I need to see these pics in HQ first to tell. But the text is miles better on the crossroad covers (except on the CD+DVD.. the text is kinda lame there).

[Luja.]

what a wonderful newsflash..! the covers are all amazing, I want to buy crossroad now...now...!! *doesn't have enough money*

and JJ on blossom PV..? Woooow!

+ I too love crossroad covers like a thousand times more than M/b.

LOL too true! every release has most of the same reactions and it's always the end of ayu as we know it.

Yeah me too, I can't judge yet between them since crossroad's are still small.

[Diego-kun]

Imo the problem with the covers it's that they look too cheap for an Ayu's single. They would be great for other less popular avex artists (e.g. Ami Suzuki or Maki Goto) but we all expect Ayu to be able to do something much better than that.

Personally, I don't hate the covers but I'd like to see something more innovative and different because the photos used in these covers looks like a ViVi or Scawaii photoshoot...

[!Lawi!]

Not at all I 've always thought MOON/blossom covers were just ok (the close-up is even ugly for me ^^"), and though we haven't HD covers yet, I already love these !

What makes you think these are sooo sub par for her when she has loads of covers like these in recent history and before? that's what I don't get. Where do people get their expectations from?

ayumisrael: Best post ever. =P

You forgot my favorite "Shouldn't the covers for her 50th single be more special than the other ones? I expected so much and pre-ordered all the versions, but now I am gonna cancel them all cuz I don't like the covers. Maybe I should move to other artists like *insert random artist*."

[Mai82Go]

I like the covers for crossroad. Even though I imagined them to be kind of different. I also like the dress and the look in Ayus eyes. I prefer them over MOON/blossom. I also prefer the song over MOON and blossom, so I think this will be a great single. Now with the JaeJoong PV for blossom we won't even have to worry about Number 1 cause the JaeJoong Fangirls will buy the CD & DVD version for sure. Nice Marketing!

Exactly what I was thinking. You know, I always wondered why ayu didn't have like these amazing mind blowing innovative covers all the time. It's not like she can't afford the best of the best graphic designers/photographers. The majority of her covers are pretty basic though lol and look like they were made in less than 5 mins. Not saying they're all bad because of that, it's just kind of weird since she's so famous and rich.
