hey, i reviewed HEART STATION on my blog!

^Hip 'n cool review!

[criminal]

She looks kind of uncertain/insecure/clueless on First Love.
Her hands look like stumps on the Distance cover, but the idea was cool.
DEEP RIVER was a major success.
ULTRA BLUE is okay, but could have been better.
HEART STATION is the same as ULTRA BLUE. x_x

FINALLY someone who agrees with me

^ I think it's because both UB & HS are upclose face shots ?

oh ok

& reg Zach's album take on HS , I will take a look at it later on in the afternoon

I really like Distance's cover, it's probably my favourite out of album covers.

Although her best covers in general would probably be traveling, hikari and UH3+ <_<; <3

[AyUta]

Distance covers were nice DEEP RIVER's had a really pretty cover, IMO. It was so simple yet beautiful.

[xiaou-xijiang]

If I had to rank my favorite covers (album wise) it'd be:
ULTRA BLUE (gorgeous cover; her eyes and the different colored scarves was a nice touch)
Distance (simply and sweet and beautifully green XD)
Deep River (the whole monochromatic scheme had to grow on me after a while)
First Love (Not the best, but the hair in the face kinda added a bit more innocence to her)
HEART STATION (honestly there's nothing wrong with this cover...just that the lighting made her look more sickly than anything else)

[Melon Panda]

My favorite cover is actually her HEART STATION cover. I like the combination of white background with light blue and pink letters. She doesn't look sickly to me at all - just a pale person under some really strong lighting.

My second favorite is DEEP RIVER, followed by DISTANCE and First Love. The eyebrows on her First Love cover were a little too bushy for my tastes, but her stylist fixed that quickly.

I think her album booklets have the better pictures from their respective photoshoots. I remember there being some lovely ones from the DEEP RIVER one.

Maybe she's trying to teach us not to judge a book, er, CD by its cover?

[[kokoro♥]]

Hikki has really bad saggy eyes (I have the same problem ;_ where she has to much skin on the underside of her eye, always making her look tired.
I think it turns me off to a lot of close up photos of her. Thats the ONLY flaw I ever find of Hikki though. So I'm not crazy about the Ultra Blue cover ._.

I think Hikki looks cute with a boy cut x3 It makes her look.. hmm.. cute? I don't know.. maybe even innocent x3 And it makes her look a intelligent. So that means I pretty much LOVE the Heart Station coverrr <33 I don't like the ugly white shirt ._. But, eh, beggers =/= choosers.

And I think with her longer hair she looks really sexy ._. And even better with Box Bangs .. Like in Be My Last <33 she looked amazing ._. and in Passion omg.. what a sexy and mysterious Hikaru >W<

And I don't even think the First Love cover looks like her LOL!!
I was kind of like that with Ayu.. all the pictures I had seen of her before the internet, she had short blonde hair. and then I saw the.. B&D covers? and was like "OMG AYU DOESNT EVEN LOOK JAPANESE ._." ahahaha x3

My favorite cover is Distance, but as far as the booklet images, it's definitely DEEP RIVER. That booklet was GORGEOUS.

[Luv ~Venus~]

I thought she had too much light on her which made he look so pale. The booklet was a turn-off for me. I thought the UB booklet/cover were okay but she just wore the same type of dress but only different colors. Plus on her cover, it looks like she's about to do an energy blast or something. =/ Distance and First Love have the same type of booklet. Both where just up close shoots of Hikki and nothing more. The Exodus booklet/cover didn't have much to offer at all. The Deep River booklet really did over an expression and varitey to it. I wish she would get back with that photographer again. That was a really neat idea and I wish for Hikki to do something like that again with next japanese album.

Too simple for me! Like, Hikki had on 2 outfits and neither one were cute... and her hair looked kinda greasy and it was against a white bg. It looked like it costed about $15 to do, I wasn't likin it

[[kokoro♥]]

^ Ughh. I DID hate her ugly outfits, but I liked her messy hair haha x3 And her makeup looked really simple and nice ._.
The lighting was bad, but it looked really professional to me ahaha. x3
