Sunrise / Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ information and covers [IV]

[haraiso]

....Dayuuuuum.
I hope they look better in high quality because right now, it looks so fake and fanmade :|

I think she should work with whoever did the photoshoot for Secret.
To this day, that's still my favorite photoshoot of all time

True, more people can tell what may look artistically better than other people, but at the same time, everyone has their own opinion. Some people DO think these covers (and the "STEP you" ones) are actually good, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's their opinion, and we shouldn't bash or negatively call them out for it.

True, this photographer has never given us the best of photoshoots, but he keeps returning, which means Ayu likes something about him and / or his photos.

Now these backgrounds are amazing, they are way better overall as well because the focus goes away from miss Ayupan to the beautiful background, such a background would have been possible on bali without problems, ayu showed us herself in her ta photos, i wish she would have done something like this

I dunno, if people don't agree with what you have to say, you'll have to deal with it. Pulling the "Well, it's just my opinion!" thing NEVER works (and I should know) and I think it's almost always going to end up being this infinite loop of "BUT IT SUCKS" / "BUT IT DOESN'T SUCK THAT MUCH" until someone compromises, haha.

Kettle not know what that phrase means?

You're the pot.

The phrase "The pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom used to accuse a person or thing of being marked with or guilty of the very thing they are pointing out; in this interpretation, it is shown that there is something shared. This may, or may not be hypocritical or contradictory. There is also an alternative interpretation.

It's annoying to me how people are all "Raelian's [sorry.] edits are so good!".

Trust me, if those were the actual covers, there'd be just as much complaining about how fake the backgrounds look. Just accept that the covers are the way that they are and move on, yo.

Ayumi Hamasaki is ridiculous. Absolutely going off the deep-end to actually think that these covers look decent. They are so cheesy, tacky, and looks like it was done as a photoshop project for an 8th grade class. I'm so dissapointed. Overall so far this single sucks to me. Yes harsh words but what is going on? I strongly dislike Sunrise because it sounds like a kiddie show theme song and it just sounds poorly done. It disgusts me. And now these covers? I've lost all hope for this single......

oh fun more arguing

Leslie Kee is truly fantastic! He is very unique!

I love you Ayu, but seriously what is up with the past few covers...If it's not an up close (Way too photoshopped) shot of your face looking pretty; doing the pouty lip thing, showing us armpit, getting attacked by tacky butterflies and pink roses (Rule,Mirrorcle World, Days/GREEN) it's now a full body shot of you doing the pouty lip thing, looking pretty etc. The covers have been lacking the meaning, the freedom and the creativity of your old covers...
This to me feels like a summer single...

agreed also & and fairyland

[waterballoon]

^ Yeah at least she smiled... and had natural background. : /

[bluecyclone]

She looks sad.... not really happy ... well AYU is AYU i love her and therefore... i love the cover!!

But.. if she'd been another singer i'd say that cover sucks lol

[miroro]

it's not the perfect cover, but c'mon it's not THAT bad x_x
and remember, you'll listen to the songs, not the cover
and most of people complaning i'm sure wouln't buy the single even if they like the cover, so just change them in your iTunes, and voilá.

at least, she hasn't this face.

Spoiler:

[truehappiness]

There's some emotion when you make her emote.. I guess.

Seaweed brows ftw!


And woo, blackmage. Faceless Ayu~

[Blasterion]

you should do a smiley face version too..
just to give it a more summer feel to it

@the TITO comment:

I'm sorry, but nothing will ever top the horrendous-ness that is the TITO cover

That thing was just like...I don't know...it doesnt even exist to me anymore...

Spoiler:

I use the exact same fanmade cover on my iPod.

I really dunno why it can be annoying
People can have their own opinion right?

At least in those covers ayu is better inserted in the scenery... I mean in term of colors.
In the real covers there is e REAL problem with colors -based on the very LQ pics- (it may change later, but based on the TA screenshot the whole is even more saturated).
I mean ayu is entirely brownish and the backdrop is light green/red/blue. Brown doesn't melt well with those kind of colors... If ayu wasn't just in one plain color it could have worked. But here she doesn't fit the background at all which gives us the impression of montage...
I hope the "real" covers won't have this problem.

Sorry for my crappy english, I always try my best I swear


edit: I think we could make a ,ew thread with all those modificated covers, funny or serious!

[truehappiness]

It's even more annoying when people pull "but iz juzt my opinyun" on me. It's like, fight back with proof if you feel that strongly, yo.

With that said: Awesome!ayu.

[AyUta]

Finally the covers are out . They're okay, I think she looks pretty. Nothing special though. I was expecting a little more creativity.
