I may hate the covers for this single - I think for sure they are her worst. But I DO like Sunset the song (I might be in the minority though) and I hope Sunrise is really good. Great PVs would be nice too, but its been a few years now since I think she's had really great PVs (Days has been the only one thats come close to me), so I don't have a lot of hope in that category.
Wait... the song we hear is Sunrise or Sunset?? I thought it was Sunrise... ... Confusing..

Anywayz, I can safely say that (m)u didn't generate as much hate as compared to rite now for sure. Most people do hate the monkey smile (which I dun think it's that bad), and some were kinda disappointed that the covers were taken during B&D pv shots. Overall the comments were not that negative. At least we can say the love-hate ratio is about 50:50.

^ Still though, it is by far the largest forum in Japan and one of the largest in the world. Its not always completely useless. Regular Japanese browse it all the time, not just lifeless hikkikomori. Its basically like any other internet forum - you'll get regular people along with the trolls.

True, but it seems especially bad when it comes to Ayu releases.

I see so many "lol ew, Ayuwota ewwww" comments. Gross.

Well, its because any really deep hard core Ayu fans tend to overreact to any even slight criticism of Ayu. Then all that does basically is make people want to criticize her even more because the fan reaction is so unbelievable to them. It's a bad cycle. Basically like the same thing that is happening on JPM, haha. Its interesting to see how much the foreign and Japanese forums really do mirror each other.

I've been looking through the thread at the covers and I'm just not into them at all.

Outfit: 8/10 | Pose: 2/10 | Background: 3/10 | Text: 2/10 | Composition: 1/10

I like the outfit but the pose is just ugh for me. She’s just standing there doing nothing. I didn’t really dig the CD covers of Rule/Sparkle but the poses were dynamic. Here she’s sort of like in mid-pose. Where is the image to attract my eyes? She looks like she’s waiting on instruction, not posing for a photoshoot!

I’m also not a fan of the bronzed-up barbie doll look. Give her a tan, fair enough. She can’t go to the beach and look pasty, but they way overdid it with the shopping of her abs and the light on her body.

It just looks so blah, and the composition is, yet again, bizarre at best. Why did she even fly to Bali to shoot on what looks like a fake background anyway? I say that I was hoping for something like UNITE! or INSPIRE’s cover where she looked natural.

The text is also hard to read. Why put white writing against a light background? And while the font looks ok, it’s just not ‘enough’ for a cover. Maybe if Ayu had the title photoshop-tattooed across her arms or something it would look better, but from here I just can’t see it.

I guess I can say that I was expecting a bigger bang for the buck here. Ayu looks gorgeous, she’s always pretty on her covers, but Shi-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has proven again that he's completely unable to compile photographs! Ayu just looks like some kind of brown blob on an overly-highlighted generic beach scene which is supposed to be Bali!

On the upside, her hair pretty. It’s like the NL style but the “beach version” of it xD And the CD+DVD picture is marginally better!

It really sucks about these covers since the Deji Deji shoot was absolutely amazing. They should have went for a similiar style. It's just kind of a let down compared to what it could be.

She just looks lost and stoned in the first cover. Guess Ayu was smoking a little too much in Bali. Lol.
