I hate Ayu's pose, her outfit and her face in the covers. The background it's beautiful, I love the colours and the font, but Ayu herself.... -__-

I seriously don't like the green bush thing in the background.Its floating on the water with ayu standing in front.WHen I saw it I thought that was a joke by a fan.Unfrotunately......
CD only im not ok with it.CD+DVD Im a little bit okay with it

nevertheless,I will buy the single despite the horrible cover

I think the CD+DVD cover is not so bad. But i don't like the fake background and her body structure. It looks weird, imo. :/

But that's all.
But the background they actually chose doesn't look very natural. It looks like they just take a backdrop from photoshop or any other program.

There was so much potential, it's sad

I dont really like the cover because I was expecting for a nice scenery beach or whadsoever summerish thingy that really suit Bali as the cover shoot location. Not just Ayu standing infront of some of bushes, with somewhat like a pool behind it which can be shoot at any ordinary pools and perhaps some help of photoshop. IMO no need to go to Bali if the cover is going to be like this simple.

Now I only hope that the booklet/inserts will going to be better than this.

Her expressions for the cd only look really listless... hope the songs will be able to add some plus points

It's just too much photoshop.
Yeah I know Ayu's been airbrushed for a long, long time now, but this just brings it to a whole new level.
It's just awful.
Even the background is over contrast.

As someone who's interested in photography and editing... it's painful to look at.

^maybe the colors and stuff will be different for real
like the first pics of Days/GREEN the covers were really white and too bright but for real they were quite good.

Yeah, she was always photoshoped. But photoshoped good and not so HEAVY. I would understand if she was super ugly, but damn she's so Gorgeous & Beautiful! Why the HELL hide all this beauty behind the photoshop?

they're cheap looking and ugly, one of ayu's worst covers it's hard to be positive over something you think is hideous.

because people usually are negative about these things.. it's not a surprise.
it's hard for me to even think of them as her worst covers, my first thoughts seeing them were "HOT" not "EW" like most people. i definitely want a poster with this single, they're her best covers since GREEN/Days for me

oh but bad parts are:
she looks bored in CD-only
the background looks fake
she's photoshopped a lot (as usual tho)

but as a whole these just work for me. she just looks gorgeous, her outfit and hair <3 and body is like.. damn.

If you ask me, it's because a lot of fans didn't get what they want and are whining about how it didn't fit their vision. Generally this happens a lot with covers that don't match the amazingness of the songs that came out before the covers [like STEP you and its hideously washed out ****tiness].. but eh. I find that people just need to learn to grow up and handle these situations like 'adults' or at least mature individuals..

Instead of: "LOL I HATE IT OMGGG I WANT TO DIE NOW.."

We could say something like: "Oh, I don't really like those, but it's mostly because of ... etc etc."

-sigh-

I wish that as each passing day went by, my level of faith/confidence/whatever in the AHS community as a whole didn't go down like two notches. It's practically almost negative!

I like the cover because:
- Fresh new concept
- Brighter and better theme than R/S

I don't like it because:
- Lacks of creative input (I think)
- Too obviously photoshopped

I really like the concept, the colors. it is definitly summerish
but her expression...it looks like it was taken between 2 shots.
her expression is weird. in the cd only one she looks tired
and the cd+dvd is not better

I like Ayu face her hairstyle and her outfit but I think in reality it's the background who is so awfull !

I don't know who change the background on an other thread and it was better so I think it's the backgroung who is too "plastic"
