Ayu-mi-x 6 covers, how do you like them?

Since the covers were revealed, how do you like them?

I think it's the best yet, not overly weird but still cool. The soft lighting looks really nice on her.. it's kinda mysterious too.
My fav is the gold one, probably because it has the color.

The gold one is nice, but the silver's design on the face is kinda ugly. XD

Well, it's unexpected, creative, but the darkness of her skin on the GOLD ver. shocks me, whereas the pattern of the SILVER ver. looks weird... I would rather prefer the gold pattern on the silver ver.^^

expected, uncreative, not WOW-able, looked fan-made (i can do it like that also ^_^)

but it's just a remix album that don't sell at all and not much promotion or anything...

and i'm not buying it so who cares ? ^_^

I must say... I expected something A LOT better than this. These covers are a bit of a let down. It could easily be photos from the A BEST 2 photoshoot. Then they just added stuff. Compared to her past remix albums covers, this isn't good. It looks like something fanmade. I don't think they are unique, creative or special. I know that they are just remix albums, but umm... They could have put a bit more effort on it. It looks quite... cheap I must say.

I'm getting a bit worried for her "Mirrorcle World" covers now...

I wonder why she doesn't have awesome covers anymore. She needs a new art director or something...

Oh yeah, and she MUST stop doing super up-close photos...

Eh... not so much. A BEST was her only nice plain shot cover. The rest are just bad. Especially A BEST 2. There are tons of other J-Pop artist who makes better face-shot cover. Like aiko. Even though aiko's cover are the simplest covers ever, even though they are just face-shot, they are REALLY amazing.

She almost never does face shots for her singles, I wouldn't be worried. She really doesn't do that many face shots anyway.

A Song for XX, A BEST, Memorial Adress, kinda MY STORY, (miss)understood, A BEST 2 (they referred to the first A BEST, but with no tear) and GUILTY, though it had a cd-only with a far away shot. I mean, does Utada ever do anything else than face shots?

I don't personally think Aiko has the face for face-shots

I think Ayu is pretty much the only one who can do a face shot like this with hair all slicked back and pretty extreme closeup and still pull it off.

I get what you're saying.

The fact that A BEST 2 had the impact without anything but her face is amazing. It shows the work of a true model.

interesting but cool
and surprising too

I thought her face would be the color of the album but I never thought she would have 'drawings' on her


I think the best is gold, because of the effects and the 'drawings' on her
I really like the way they did some parts of her face darker and some lighter
the silver is good but not like gold

Silver - I am A SUPERSTAR~!
Gold - I was going to say if ayu would do something else than this...............

Now I am curious how the special edition of 12'' covers look like. Are all of them based on these two covers?

It'd be sweet if they made the designs in shiny gold and silver on the physical covers.
