- - Sunrise / Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ information and covers [VI] (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92391)

After reading the lyrics, I think Ayu was trying to portray innocence with her facial expressions. It kinda worked, but it kinda didn't.

After seeing the bigger versions... the CD+DVD version looks less photoshopped. Yes, there are very obvious things that are photoshopped in both covers (her boobs, especially the right one, the bushes, the water she's standing in, etc.), but the CD+DVD one looks slightly more realistic, imo.

i wonder did anyone mention this, but there's a bonus TeamAyu free gift for members, my japanese isn't that good, but it looks like a poster to me. Can anyone confirm what is it?

Much better bigger but still meh. Those facial expressions don't do her any justice

Hmm, I see where the innocence is supposed to come from... but wouldn't it be better if Ayu just smiled? :( Like in H or &. That would have made the cover way shinier than it is now. Her smile would have been dazzling!

Still, I suppose when the covers are in HQ maybe the background will look prettier and less fake, hopefully!

If I remember correctly, if you're a TA member and preorder through there, you get flipflops. If you preorder through mu-mo, you get a poster.

wow I like them better now, I think I will survive lol ^^ thanks

the new A is cute ~ !!
n i like the covers better now ..

even the sunlight reflection looks photoshopped. XD
so... unflattering

I can stand the cover now, it looked OK but still not nice though.
Ayu's expression is weird and the blur they made makes the cover fake.

The font is gorgeous still doesn't match the whole concept of Sexy Summer.

thanks for finding bigger covers of the single

so just like glitter/fated's covers , she's also standing inside the water

cool & ok I don't have that much hatred towards the covers now . In fact I'm OK with them now & I love her outfit :luv2

ppl who order at mu-mo get a poster (you must not be a TA member if i am right) and TA members who order through mu-mo get the flip flops.

:no

In bigger resolution, her right breast's shadow on the CD-only cover is rectangular/not round. O_o

Her face looks worse... :(

Still love the song though, and I can't wait for Sunset! :D

the only thing that i love from this cover (n others ayu's cds supposedly)) is that there'll be CDs with BRAND NEW SONGS on its back and thats makes me happy!!
no matter what the cover looks like..

i am very very the same opinion for caps LOVE is ALL. It's the worst graphic fail = for script fonts. They should knew that things!!

THE FONT LOOKS SO BOOTLEG OMG

LOL OMG... those covers.

It's like she's dipping into usage of third world album covers from the mid-90s. Girl needs a new art team.

That alone proves how lazy the team was when it went to editting. Fixing something like that is so easy. Though looking at the rest of the picture I wouldn't expect better.

She's usually so on top of style and stuff. What is she doing??? Doesn't she have control over her 'image'? Shouldn't she know how bootleg this looks?

I love the new "A" font on the towels ^^
Beside the awful background. i love her hair and the outfit. i just wish she use a real background. definitely not her worst cover but not her best too

her hair reminds me of her hair in 2002 era..
I liked that one~~

No news about sunset or sunrise's pv? =/

The covers have somehow grown on me over time. She looks much better on the bigger versions, but the horrendous photoshopping is much more visible. It's a disgrace. And I'm with those who like the font. ^^

Hopefully we'll soon get a preview of "Sunset". ^.^
