she looks so dark in the 2cd cover, and that smile is really disturbing.
But anyway, they are better than sunrise/sunset.
I think i prefer the fan-made cover

It's nice that the DVD gets the better cover, usually the other way round.

I hate that she's pouting in the 2CD+DVD cover because it's either that or the creepy 2CD cover.

I'm looking forward to seeing a larger version of the CD+DVD cover; the thumbnail looks really nice. However, the CD only cover...somebody went overboard with the photoshopping. It doesn't even look like her!

Yeah, like, the thumbnail of the 2CD ver looks pretty good but in HQ it's just like... ): It doesn't look like her at all. I'll wait for the scans before making a complete judgment tho. At least the 2CD+DVD ver is gorgeous

I'm gonna agree with the majority here and say the DVD cover looks good, and the CD cover looks like a botched photoshop job. There's something completely unnatural about it.

It would have been a different story if it was something like this:

Lol I'm pretty sure this is what some people actually see

Anyway, I like both covers. But the CD+DVD one is better to me. I really like that one and want a bigger version of it....the CD one would be great to me if her jaw didn't look so strange.

I'm not sure what some people mean by it not looking like ayu. Apparently I don't know what ayu looks like lol. The one with the two picture comparison with one supposedly looking more "ayu-ish" seems a bit pointless to me. Idk, ayu often has looked a tad weird to me.

She has had some ugly covers throughout and I like these, love the CD-DVD.

I like them but the cd only looks like they had a photo which they liked her pose and a photo that they prefered her face in and just combined the two. I like leslies work but not the second rate photoshoping that goes over it. Should be some good off shots

While I don't hate the covers, I would be content if this was the last thing Leslie does with Ayu. He hasn't truly impressed me once since he's come back. Everything had the exact same feel to it. The lighting, photoshopping, etc. Why use the same person over and over again when you have so many options at your fingertips. It's weird to me.

Alas, they're probably shooting something right now at their overseas location.

The CD cover looks scary... I don't like her tan either.
CD+DVD is awesome though~

Usually when Ayu smiles that wide her mouth is open or slightly open. This is a very forced and awkward smile. The pale lipstick contrasts, and the tan is not flattering, reminds me of her bad RAINBOW days.

In the the 2CD cover if you start from the middle of her teeth and count the middle right as tooth one and count till the end of her teeth to the right there are 5 and one small 6th one way back there. In most Ayu pictures she only exposes 5 teeth per side but she also doesn't smile super super hard. I couldn't find any 6 teeth smile photos so maybe it was shopped in there. But also, we haven't seen her smile this hard and at this angle maybe she does have a 6 teeth smile.

Counting in this picture on the left side she has a 6 tooth smile. I just think it's rare for Ayu to smile that hard http://www.generasia.com/wp-content/...i201102002.jpg it's really hard to see though I counted 6 maybe I'm wrong.

I think the problem with the 2 CD is

-Bad lighting
-Too much contrast
-Abnormal Ayu smile
-Contacts
-Angle
-and pretty much everything else

This smile is big/fairly big and it looks fine :-\

I blame it on her new teeth.

I shopped it, darkened her lips, teeth, hair, eyes. Lightened her skin and made the whole image more on the red hue/color instead of blue-ish. I also made her hair more of a bright blonde almost her strawberry blonde. I did the lips pretty bad, but considering what I had to work with this was the best I could do. It looks way better (to me) It looks like Ayu
