Omg so many people editing, I don't even know what's the real 2CD+DVD cover now. xD

I love them, I think they're cool. Thanks for posting.

No. And that, coupled with that stupid green coloring, is actually the reason why I prefer the smiley Ayu now.

I was looking to just photoshop some new lips on her...but I wasn't getting my desired effect...so I just left them. But they really bug me. Could have been such a perfect picture.

Oh well. Can't have it all.

Wow, the pictures look soooooo much better in HQ. Still love the +DVD one the best (her mouth looks a bit weird but w/e), and she looks better in the CD one now that I've seen HQ. I really like her eye makeup.

this has probably been said a million times, but the photoshopping in the 2CD version is very bad. Beyond the bad tan and the contact colors, her face is just very flat and two-dimensional all around. I really wonder why they make drastic changes to her face in photoshop. Touch-ups are fine. Removing a zit or a blemish is fine, but outright changing the shape and structure of her face? She looks fine without all that photoshop

I also heard You & Me already and I'm not very impressed. As far as Summer Songs go, it's probably the worst of them IMHO. I guess the only good thing going for this release is the unreleased A-Nation numbers.

I thought all that plain background in CD+DVD is kinda blaah, and had a little problem with her face....but actually when i was done editing it i thought that it looks quite fine the way it is...

but...

And to the rest of you: I'd love to see some of you have fun with releases too. It's the same old spin on every single release thread: Are the covers ugly? What will ________ sound like? Which PV will be the best? Will the new release be as good as the last one?

The minute someone comes along and has some experimental fun with the topic, we should be thankful that someone showed us how we have the same conversation each time and never say or do anything new.

So, thank you, RayJason. I've loved your parodies and I can't wait to see what kind of a spin you'll put on future release threads to break the monotony.

Now, !!!!

OMFG I should really write this in spoiler; @orbitalaspect
Spoiler:
I first posted that second fanmade cover (with the ayu-eye on the horse) on last.fm, and everybody over there loved it. So a few people on AHS actually wanted me to do another one, so I thought lets just share the other one I posted on last.fm (which I made in like 10 minutes). The first one was "funny" to a lot, but the second was "not funny" to 2. One of them who tried even harder making fun out of the cover. At the same time I should have kept in mind that this is AHS after all...

But yeah, I want to thank you for not being so tensed up about this release, and also for not acting like your life and your status is on stake with this release. I like it when I see people who are just like I am too, you know... Not too serious.

It's actually almost frightening that a few over here are SO tensed up for this release like it's theirs...

I'm truly grateful that there still are people like you on here!

I love the concept of the covers and her styling (tan, hair, even nails, but minus the contacts), its just that her poses are kinda off-ish and there is a tad too much photoshop.

Maybe the "original" PQ covers are a bit too "offensive" for some people (with Ayu only having her bra and underwear on and nothing else)...

^ But they use the original PQ cover (the one with Ayu bent over while wearing Louboutins to be exact) for PQ's iTunes JP page
I don't think it's a matter of being offensive. I think iTunes JP is just a troll.
