As for the other one: I can see what emi's talking about with the hand, although I wouldn't have noticed it unless she said something. I'm more focused on her terrible makeup and lips. The color of her lips is all off and those teeth never help. I like the tan, hair, and contacts, though - I think they work.

I think if someone were to lessen the shadow on her nose, lighten the green eyeshadow, and change the color of her lips the photo wouldn't look so off.
I agree with this. The one thing that annoys me most about the covers is the eyeshadow, it looks fine in the 2CD+DVD version, but in the 2CD version it clashes with all the blue. I think it would have looked better if she had a more skin-colored eyeshadow, possibly more orange or brown.
But yeah, this is what we got, and I don't think the covers are too bad. I'm not too bothered about the nails, all long nails scare me in some way, and I think Ayu looks quite sensual and beautiful in the 2CD+DVD cover (and a bit less so in the 2CD one).
So in my opinion, the covers are fine.
