~ayumi hamasaki latest single PV: short film - Lost in Bali~
The covers are just plain horrendous.
I really like how her body is, despite it obviously being photoshopped... I like her clothes, her hair, her accessories... I love the text too.
But that's about it.
The background looks more like a canvas painting than a scenery from Bali. Honestly if I were someone from Bali, I would be really offended with this... it's like, what? She went all the way to Bali, only to come back with covers that don't even LOOK like Bali?
And her face... oh my God.
CD-only:
"Huh what am I doing? Omg I'm kinda having a hungover... so tired..."
CD+DVD:
*Okay so I'm gonna get ready for a hot pose woo!*
- Places hand on ear-
~half-way through-
*snap snap*
Kazuyoshi Shimomura: "Ayu I took The hottest shot of you, EVER!"
*orly?*
"Yes, come and look!"
*zomg Shimo-san, I look like an idiot who's scratching her ear... I wanted to do a hot pose with my hand behind my hair, yeah?*
"No Ayu you're freaking hot, hotter than Sparkle PV!!!"
*Really? You're my BFF, so I'll trust you! That shall be my CD+DVD cover!
*
... Her facial expression is just bad. And whoever who brought Kuu's anytime... at least that was natural and besides the CD+DVD cover, the CD cover is lovely and so is the booklet. At least the laidback and natural feel is in sync with the song.
I still remember how Ayu actually SMILED in one of the BLUE BIRD shots... and she's like -Lost in Bali- here...
I really hate Kazuyoshi Shimomura for screwing up almost everything about Ayu... but I can't help but feel Ayu should be meaner and tell him that his stuff are that bad.
I mean... I don't know... there's just something so wrong with these covers... her eyes have no expression; no nothing... she's Ayu, not a mannequin posing for FHM's summer magazine...
Really, Kazuyoshi should stop making Ayu do the drugged and lost face... He really doesn't know how to make a woman beautiful.
Ayu, good luck to your career if you're deciding to stick with incompetent staff members.
