And most of the members are not ALWAYS complaining.
Some people should get over it. If complaints are getting more ad more frequent, it's not just a mere coincidence... Love songs has been praised for example, and it deserved it. But when she comes up with something like these covers, expect them to express their opinion.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. To whats the point of complaining about something your not even going to own. Unless your getting the 2CD only, than complain all you want


lol this is so true

I actually really like the CD+DVD one. I think she looks elegant and beautiful. I would like the CD one but her odd expression just strikes too hard for me. D: There's something off in her expression, like her smile is forced while her eyes remain dull?

I agree. I think what's missing is a real spark in her smile. This to me looks like "sad party queen", because the smile looks so forced. Well, I think her "monkey smile" in general looks forced.

I'm one of those very few ppl who likes 2CD cover, but what you said is true. Her smile does look forced. She was trying too hard, so in the end it doesn't even look natural.

Lovely top and she is pretty too. Her looks do not match her deep voice.

That Akina cover makes me feel so nostalgic. *siiiiigh* Mostly because I'm pretty sure I had that sweater at one point and remember posing like that for my senior photos lol. Also, 'cause you just gotta respect Jpop's roots, man.

I like that cover because we don't always get a ton of those.


You cant really get caught up on the hair or the outfit...that was just the style lol

But I think some people might not like it being so natural and boring...I think if it fit the song it would be nice. I wish she would always have covers that fit the sound...

that's why I dislike the 2CD :/ I mean ok, Ayu is into the ronery queen concept since PQ, but I'd rather preferred a natural and lovely smile like Love songs CD-only cover one.

But it will grow on me like PQ CD+DVD cover though I'm kinda neutral about these covers lol.
