[A] Rock'n'Roll Circus - COVERS - Page 16

I'm getting tired of this fish lips thing.

She's done fish lips since dawn of history in many past shots and looked like a fish way more in some of them and people adore them.

It's like it became a trend to hate ayu's fish lips shots since 2007-2008 or something as long as you keep adoring shots with fish lips before hand and adore other artists' fish lips as if they look better doing it.

On R'n'R Circus it's barely does anything imo. She just has a make you curious glance (on the CD+DVD at least).
I understood the hate for (miss)understood's cd only cover, S/S covers (ew) and I understand people who are dissapointed with R'n'R Circus covers that they wanted more special/fierce thing or more circusy, but other then that I don't think that those are bad at all.

I think that ayu looks really pretty in both (specially the CD+DVD) in the CD only she looks more ready to be shot while giving a small smile (which is also the smile of the CD+DVD).

I've been fishing with my granddad for years...never seen a fish with lips as stunning as Ayu's. Sorry everyone.

^ LOL high-five!

@ayumisrael there's a difference between a cute pout face and one that looks "wooden" (as another member said) and unnatural xD

Fish lips or not, theres something odd about her expression...

That might be, but it's definitely not a 30-pound seabass' set of kisser-lippers

If her expression is weird, then what is this?

(I know, that's a bit extreme. But still; damn funny. And disturbing)

Yumsushi · #**308** 14th March 2010, 10:30 PM

That you chose that picture as a rebuttal is even more disturbing.

aura~ · #**309** 14th March 2010, 10:31 PM

I'm just happy the cover is like this, because after the title came out it would be the end of the world if the cover had any circus-themed stuff... XDD

and again... I want CD+DVD poster!!! >.<

People often tell me I lack a certain amount of logic.
But really. My post wasn't a comeback of any kind.

I'm a little dissapointed with the covers... I was expecting something more i don;t know... like a circus maybe....

Hm, I wonder if most people read the ViVi Deji Deji Diary where she basically said "We did the shoot for the entire album booklet/photobook/covers and here is what I wore!" haha.

Anyways, I wonder if by replacing blue with black in the Union Jack thing is giving the album that "Rock'n'Roll" feel, but just in a really subtle way, haha. And she's kind of also invoking colors from a circus with the red/white thing too... kind of.

Yumsushi · #**313** 14th March 2010, 10:42 PM

@Kanzaki88
My mistake then. I mustve mistook "If her expression is weird, then what is this?" as a rebuttal instead of an invitation to comment on the singing postman. Poor fellow, but he's not pouting either.

But these pics would be fine and dandy in the album booklet or photobook. They just dont indicate a Rock n Roll circus of any kind. With the same set and clothes she could've still projected something ; energy, passion, excitment...

Exactly, it would be more horrible if there were clowns and elephants on the cover..that would have made it too obvious and tacky and maybe even disturbing

Sundae · #**315** 14th March 2010, 10:42 PM

Both covers tie for me. It's nice. At least she didn't do the super obvious and have a full circus theme. Just a hat that kinda looks like someone in the circus would wear.

I would have liked one full body cover. Just to see the rest of the outfit though. The jacket photos probably will have one.

It's actually possible to have a full body cover on the limited box cover/lid.

Delirium-Zer0 · #**317** 14th March 2010, 10:46 PM

The title Rock'n'Roll Circus isn't a reference to a circus at all, and the cover confirms that. It's just a vague reference to English rock. The Rolling Stones are likely to be as much an influence on Ayu as to many other Japanese pop & rock artists, and this is a nod to them, the culture they came from, and the culture they (and other english classic rock bands) created. The title has nothing really to do with a circus, just the crazy days of rock & roll music. The word "circus" doesn't have to be taken literally here, and I agree with many people's sentiments that it's probably a good thing it wasn't.

Crystal_Ageha · #**318** 14th March 2010, 10:46 PM

^ Yup, it's not a "circus" that many would think of right off the bat......and thank God for that, lol. I was praying she didn't mean clowns and monkeys and ****, lol!
'Regular' circus = big

for me; Toned down 'circus' =

I wasn't attacking you. Sorry you took it that way.

I know you didn't straight out say it was ugly, but I just assumed that because you thought those were fish lips, then you thought it must be kinda ugly, hah.
I still say they aren't fish lips, at all. But weird expression? Yes, lol. I don't think it's that bad, though. Even the CD version is one of my favourite album covers to date, actually.

Um........ How random, lol...

VRGRK · #**319** 14th March 2010, 10:51 PM

CD+DVD version is much nicer than CD-only... I still need to get myself a copy before too long.

Max_ZZZ · #**320** 14th March 2010, 11:05 PM

wait... I'M SO HAPPY IT'S NOT A CIRCUS THEME LOL i agree completely with everyone =]

diggin the title a lot more now >.>

lol you guys can hate but i think it is a lot more cooler that her circus kind of album is a different concept than an original circus
