who was responsible for these covers though?? was it that guy from Mirrorcle World, GREEN and Sparkle's pvs??

I don't like them because they're ugly. That's really it for me :/

AyUmIXx · #83 19th July 2009, 05:12 AM

i really don't like it when i first saw the covers..
i was liked, "where's the h*** bali beautiful island background?"
it's just like THAT?!?!
Ayu in the pool.. looking sad, looking pity, looking so weird...
the outfit just doesn't match with the background seriously... she should just lay down on the beach watching sunset..and sunrise, things like that..

kirei_ayumi · #84 19th July 2009, 05:24 AM

its not about being negative, more like stating our opinions
I have always loved ayu's covers, but this is the first I don't like...
I don't like it mainly because of the background
because it looks cheap and simple for me
it looks like someone just stuck something there...
other than that, ayu, herself, looks stunning

I can't even explain about how suprised I am!

I was caught by these covers in a instant. They where so pretty to me! First I saw her outfit and her hair and all I could think of was, geez she takes me back to the I am... era. Thats sooo nice!
Then I saw the background and I felt the summer feeling grow inside of me. I felt calm and happy.
I'm not gonna discuss the photoshop thing again cuz Ayu have often been hard photoshoped lately so thats nothing new to these covers.

To me these are great covers and of they wouldnt have done & a seccond time then this is just what I wanted!

(kirei_ayumi)^ Basically summed up what I thought about it.

I'll reiterate I guess...the background looks fake. She looks out of placed and photoshopped...it just seems so unnatural. Is it me or does it seem like the quality of her covers is dropping...

Qt Mashi · #87 19th July 2009, 06:13 AM

this cover isnt that bad, Ayu looks good and it looks summery and colorful, its better than alot of other singers covers

at least this is better than (miss)understood covers! oh my gawd~

jimex289 · #88 19th July 2009, 06:24 AM

What happened to quality covers like fairyland, BLUE BIRD, INSPIRE, etc? This has to be one of her worst summer covers ever. Even glitter would rank higher than this for me. Perhaps the factor that accounts for this difference is the aforementioned were all shot on location?

**zoomzoom** · #89 19th July 2009, 06:37 AM

^These covers were shot on location too, Bali.

ComatoseBunnySnatcher · #90 19th July 2009, 06:39 AM

^ which makes it even worse

I actually love the covers. I know its photoshopped but she still looks hot. Maybe its because she really set the bar from R/S and NEXT LEVEL covers, but I liked it the instant I saw them.

zyoeru · #92 19th July 2009, 11:58 AM

I love them. I love how "fake" they look to be honest, I think it's intentional, but still there's a lot of room for change, maybe they got taken down from Ayu's blog because they're still prototypes.

ren'ai · #93 19th July 2009, 12:27 PM

After looking at it more and using it for graphics.. it's not terrible but it all still looks really fake and amateurly done.
I don't know it just gives me a feeling like.. Ayu's trying to look like someone she's not and I don't like that. I admire her for her honesty etc so I dunno. But in the end they're just covers so meh..

AyuHamasaki01 · #94 19th July 2009, 12:35 PM

why I don't like them:

EVERYTHING IS FAKE ABOUT IT. srsly, everyone who knows how to use Photoshop can make covers like this.

Avex is probably struck by the crisis too but this ....

I never thought they could sink so deep.

Whatever? Ayu is everywhere faked. On pictures, in PV's.
I don't think there's a real Ayu-appearance anymore, she's so faked.

Actually, that's not what I meant.

The main problem, once again, is that the background looks disgustingly fake. Someone mentioned (Furashbakku?) that the fakeness is probably intentional... but I don't see it; it just looks fake to me.

Bali? Oh please that "scenery" is the pool of her hotel suite. It's not even Bali's NATURAL scenery, like wtf.

And I can't say how much I abhor her face... it's really bad, and it's really Kazuyoshi's "direction" that caused such a WTF-face.

The covers have their merits - like her boobs, bod, and overall look (at least to me), but everything else is just... horrible.

To people who love them: good for you, I won't try to make you hate them or whatever... but yeah I really hate them. This is Ayu and Kazuyoshi's ultimate worst work together... I'm really disappointed with the covers.

But I still love the song.

jimex289 · #98 19th July 2009, 05:12 PM

Yeah...that puzzled expression has me puzzled as well.

I couldn't agree more with you waterballoon

Once she opens up another 'Questions for Ayu' from fans like last year, I would definitely question her work with Shimoko
