Your Ideal Ayu Single Cover!

Upbeat bubbly pop songs can have fishlips and big eyes, thoughtful sad songs can have calm frowny faces, et cetera. A single where the focus isn't on Ayu's face would be nice occasionally.

Although I like/love most of Ayu single covers, I do agree with this lol. Although I think SURREAL, M, fairyland, and Voyage did pretty well with sticking to their "themes".

why do people complaining that much lately..

i think ayu covers are ok..
not really that bad..only some of us who overreacted saying it blah blah blah..hey..can u did it better if u were hamasaki ayumi..
ayu had done her best n think it's perfect n choose it as the covers..
but sometimes many of us can not appreciate it n keep on complaining...

a photoshop thingy..
hello..every artists cover are photoshoped..n edited..
no one natural shoot..even we always want to edit our photos to make it more vulnerable to watch..

I don't think we're complaining about Ayu's covers
We're just discussing on how a cover would be perfect for us.

I mean, here in this thread.
Don't pay too much attention to some people in the cover threads lol. When upcoming single's covers comes out they complaining about them EVERY TIME 'lately Ayu sucks, Ayu was wayy better before, why people like this cover? blah blah'. Annoying people lol

i do have to say. any of my ideas are quite irrelevant i would love anyone to do that.

i dont want x and y on the cover but not z because its not ideal to me. why on earth would i like ayu if everything she did matched what i want. i could just love myself and think of myself as endlessly talented.

i dont think im wording this correctly

im sure a gothic cover could come along. its thats ayus intention.

^LOL. That's funny.

I love the covers that come out of nowhere; that surprise or confuse people. And I prefer the more natural look; if she's going to be over-photoshopped, it better compliment a really futuristic or modern theme.

I would love something...with Ayu sitting on a tree branch with her head leaning against the trunk, and a sunset with lots of stars and a full moon in the background~ Maybe for CD she could have her eyes closed and looking peaceful, and for CD+DVD she could have her eyes a little opened, and a small smile For her outfit & hair, maybe a short hairstyle like she has now, and a small, airy, summery dress, and have her barefoot <3 For her face, she would have minimal makeup, and no Photoshop I just envision this as my favorite summery single cover~~ And have the cover matching the song too

If no one minds, I sketched my vision

Spoiler:

This is how I imagine my dream single to look Sorry for the rough sketch :3

[Suteisi]

I would like something bold and colorful!!!

I keep thinking of candies, wouldn't it be cool if there was a cover of her laying in a bed of candies?

Also, that part in Lady Dynamite where she is dressed in pink with a lollipop! That'd be a great cover I think!

I like candies~~ Lol
