Reading 6 pages all at once ain't funny at all . I read you and TH's talk and lemme bring up another story. Back in 2001 or 2002, my brother use LOVEppears as his class presentation (in elementary school...@@). Most of his classmates didn't believe that ayu was a Japanese at all. They all think ayu as a western. Ayu has always been using Western image since LOVEppears I think. Of course I think she looked like western the most during the end of 2002. No, she didn't have any single cover portraying as a western, but her image after during releasing Voyage --> the end of the year was totally a wetern... Platinum hair color, the make up.. etc.

Ayu is no stranger to risque photoshoots [tasteful ones]~
Your forgot the I am... cover with only leaves cover her body... LOL


Back to the topic.. Today I was mad that I didn't order CD+DVD (deluxe YOU version) when I saw the cover (newspaper version). cdjapan still had the deluxe Depend on you, but I didn't order.. cuz I dun like Depend on you

Now I see the cover... Well I still dun like Depend on you, but I love that side shot cover, so I ordered it in the end..

And this will be my first ayu single ever.. (kinda embarrassed to say that... Have been her fan for 9 years but I never owned a single... )

@kiseki89 haha I second that even though I've mentioned it before. But Mirrorcle World/Depend on You looks much better than the Mirrorcle World/YOU cover to me.

Read on some Japanese blog that she saw the PV today. Not sure how credible this is (not even mentioned on mixi) but maybe it'll be out this week.

Ahh I will just buy the Depend on you version hehe .
I dun think I will cancel it from cdjapan cuz I think this single is meant to be special (the 10th anniversary), plus I dun wanna regret it later on (probly 3 days later when the first press for Depend on you is gone as well).

The cover is just so... pretty...

Probably. Seems like they're trying to get all the promotional materials out as soon as possible.

They already showed a small snippet of the PV on Zoom In! SUPER!..

Well, covers are meant to be looking pretty.. But this one is a natural beauty (+ photoshopped ? times)

Well, if this cover was photoshopped, it'd look a lot... plastic-y. XD

Time to make a simulation of that. XD

Just look at the pictures again... and notice that she didn't make any extension at the bang part at all... I thought that part was a bunch of long hair twisted and brought to the back of the head.. but actually it's not @@ .

I like everything about the covers except her lips. lol. But these are definitely sexier than Loveppears's.
I honestly doubt it's the photoshop skills that makes her look younger than she is. Ayu looked her age in My story and Blue bird covers.

My Panasonic interpretation of the covers:


I should've pasted on random facial parts for added Panasonic-ness, but meh. XD
