L covers & track list

[Isthan]

I must say... I love them!

They're so stylish, simple and serene, especially the CD versions which show the dress as well. It's been a while since Ayu's covers have wowed me so much.

[ILoveGeniuses]

hey question. how do they do that mask effect? Is it a real mask? or is it done with digital effects?

[noisy_harmony]

Bigger versions of covers are just only more gorgeous.

wish everyone would shut up about misono

[ownsarai]

^I agree...I'm sick of the misono/Ayu comparisons. It's just really unnecessary.

I'm excited to hear Virgin Road, but I think I will wait until a little better quality comes out. I can't stand listening to the mic recordings anymore, can't really get a feel for the songs. But thanks for sharing the news~

i think it's photoshop haha~

[ownsarai]

^I don't know, it might be a real mask, I mean why not? They did real masks with ourselves. It's not that hard to make a mold of Ayu's face.
But I guess we'll only know the truth if Ayu mentions it in ViVi or VOCE.

[AyUmIXx]

^ yeap we'll never know..
But somehow i think it's just photoshop..
yea, let's wait til we get to see the photoshoot clip/photos if there are any

[PoetGirl]

I think its a photoshop too.

[ohsixthirty]

maybe she held a dummy mask and then they photoshopped her face over the dummy?

[amorphose]

I'm almost sure someone else must've come up with this by the 16th page, but I'm way too lazy to read through all these comments.

I think it's really neat though how she has a mask of herself. It's like the mask is the product and the face is the real ayumi.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

misono's cover is horrible and vulgar, ayu's one is classy

Heyy, that's a great idea! It just might be it. I can't believe I missed that...

I've always loved the "Real Ayu vs. Product Ayu" -thing she does, like in SURREAL, Real Me and RAINBOW PVs. It's one of the things that really got me into her in the first place. I was 16 back then and the idea of having the real you and the public you separately was a relieving thought! I realized I didn't have to have only one solid personality, but many different sides depending on the situation.

So yeah, I got sidetracked . But the point was: good thought. Makes me like these covers even more .

that's what i think they did. in the 2nd CD only it looks very photoshopped on to me.

[rusuke]

I love it but the lips, no!

Thanks for sharing!

[adantatu2]

^ the lips are the problem, maybe ayu don't know how weird she looks with that expression

[xLuna&1LOVE]

^ She will if she would visit this forum and look in these threads.

[daobaxiao]

it's so beautiful now!

[rakeru]

I wish someone would tweet her about that, or find some way to let her know that we're tired of this fish-lip pose. Twitter spam in 3...2...1...

[Max_ZZZ]

if the enxt 10 or w/e mags all have fish lips i'm going to shoot myself
