I've been looking through out the whole photos I don't see any halos around Ayu if High pass filter was used.. I can't wait to have a bigger photo.

Honestly I like what you did to this photo, it makes it so much better.

[EDIT]: AH! I saw the new edit you made @Aderianu, I like it even more!

~~

I like the cover slightly, I feel like the [&] is Ayu's most perfect image for a summer single/album cover. These new covers just don't stand up to it. I was hoping that the cover would be the same image they are using for that promo poster of her laying on the sand, that looks purely amazing! CD+DVD cover looks better than CD version, if I decided I needed this album, I would buy that version.

I just can't see past the awful tan and those retched blue contacts. If Leslie photographed Ayu for these.. he's done way better.. but I don't blame him as its more Ayu and her team choosing these cover images..

I was comparing the cover with the ayu on your avatar and, wow, the difference :O

My thoughts exactly, but what did you mean by uncensored version?

Well the CD only cover is known as the uncensorned one because of her huge-monkey-scary smile, and the CD+DVD one is censorned because she's hiding the smile lol Silly, but I immediately thought of that~

BTW the photoshopped version where she isn't tanned and she doesn't wear those contact lanses is so much better!

the 2CD+DVD one is so much better IMO... the more I look at the blue one, the more disgusting it becomes.

something like this would have been better, took 2 min of crapy photoshop... the first one (original) looks anything else but ayu, at the second one you can recognise her at least...

That really does put it into perspective! The second picture is so perfect >.< It would have been a fantastic cover. I'm definitely not a fan of the original one... dirty tan, menacing smile.. ._.

The 2cd+dvd looks nice though...

The 2CD cover reminds me of the CD+DVD cover of glitter/fated but more psychotic.

I like the 2CD+DVD one though. Thank goodness I'm getting that.

^ Let's not exaggerate. It's obvious that it's ayu on the cover.

It would have been a different story if it was something like this:

Lol I'm pretty sure this is what some people actually see
_____________

Anyway, I like both covers. But the CD+DVD one is better to me. I really like that one and want a bigger version of it....the CD one would be great to me if her jaw didn't look so strange.

I'm not sure what some people mean by it not looking like ayu. Apparently I don't know what ayu looks like lol. The one with the two picture comparison with one supposedly looking more "ayu-ish" seems a bit pointless to me. Idk, ayu often has looked a tad weird to me.

She has had some ugly covers throughout and I like these, love the CD-DVD.

Funny because it's totally a pose Ayu would be doing (or probably has already done)
