Making our own A summer Best kinda gives me a reason to use one of my favorite ayu pictures EVER.

I think we have to give him some credit for the CD+DVD ver. which looks awesome even when it's so small!

And really we should start a "PHOTOSHOP your covers" thread (not only for this release, but every single cover out there). It'd be a nice way for AHS'ers to show what they can do! I vote yes!

WARNING: This post contains opinions.

Ayumi's covers are getting into a REAL SLUMP. In the 2CD, her face looks photoshopped onto her body, albeit badly, and her tan looks...I don't know, dirty? The 2CD+DVD edition looks okay in small, but you can see her doing the duck lips.

Her last great set of covers were the Love songs covers - yes, FIVE's CD+DVD was excellent, but Party Queen was just a mess all around in my opinion.

this is full of irony if you think about it.
many the western j-pop fans try their best to adapt the style, trends and fashion of the japanese, while all the j-pop stars try their best to adapt the west. Even going as far as surgery.

Those Japanese trends and fashion are still very much European. I was disappointed to learn that many Japanese people react poorly to Japanese things.

Sorry, no disprespect, but after seeing those many edits I must say I like the original cover way better than the first time I saw it...


But did I like this edit, though:

Ayu has a beautiful natural smile... I like this one from summer of 2007, it's 'shopped but not as much. The 2CD cover makes her look like a half-caucasian, half black person.

This as official cover would have been a BLAST! Alas it's not plastic enough, so it doesn't qualifies for a cover

No lie, I think this one is better than the original! Like someone mentioned, she looks half caucasion, half black so I think this actually makes the original photo look a little more "natural" believe it or not.

yeah, personally, at first I thought she looked like some ugly stereotypical white chick from socal...but...idk wasnt gonna say it before lol

anyways, I actually like her with tanned skin, but the tan is a little odd in all of these pictures, probably because it looked so fake in real. I mean, those twitter offshots were pretty bad...idk if these tans look like that all the time or what...but at least the official shots arent THAT bad.

Some comments (and I'm talking about the really rude ones) really make me wonder how pretty the persons who say them must be (to say such things). O:

On a lighter note, ExodusUK's edit made me cringe from laughing lol.
