I'm going to agree with zoomzoom, I don't like this cover.

The main problem I have is her hair. I like the front since its reminiscent of the Because of You PV hairstyle, but the idea with the sides was terrible. By letting it hang out, it makes the whole thing look like a wig and she looks like shes bald underneath. I don't have much of a problem with the tacky outfit and colors, but I would prefer something more plain like MW or D/G.

They were obviously going for a more Western appealing look since this single will be internationally released, but the cover just gives people more reason to look at it and say "oh look, its the Japanese wannabe version of Britney Spears"

Mmm it's hard to say I think haha. Biggest mangaka meets biggest pop star...hmm. I say it goes either way xD. They are both honored rofl. Maybe I should make my thoughts a little less harsh. Everything is OK...it hasn't gotten to the point of unbearable (and I don't think it will). I'll live with it... Probably because this is the first time she's ever done something like this people are having mixed reactions. It would actually be nice if she released a special commemorative movie-themed limited edition of this with Akira Toriyama's drawing so people interested could buy it while at the same time making "normal" copies for casual purposes.

Hey guys take a look at this:

Quote:
Popular manga-ka Toriyama Akira has been commissioned to draw an illustration of J-pop queen Hamasaki Ayumi (30, profile) for her latest single. The connection of course is that "Rule" is the theme song for the global release of "Dragonball," the Hollywood adaptation of Toriyama's mega-popular manga. The first pressing of the single will be printed with the image of Hamasaki as the character Goku on both the CD and an accompanying DVD. It is the first time for Toriyama to create an original illustration for a recording artist. He said, "Actually I'm really not good at caricatures, and for a while I regretted taking on this job. Hamasaki-san has so many fans and I hope they don't get angry that the image doesn't resemble her!" Called "Dragonball Evolution" for its Japan release, the movie opens here on March 13. The double-A side single "Rule/Sparkle" goes on sale February 25.

So everyone, please be nice to the CD art! He did his best
