[Utada Hikaru] Coming Back to the 23rd Thread♥ - Page 13

Most of her covers are ALWAYS
-titled head, mouth slightly open-

and just a change of hair and makeup xD

If Utada did a cover like... GUILTY or RAINBOW or any of Ayu's covers (besides A Song for xx XD) I don't know what I'd do! I can't even imagine it.

I wish she had different facial expression, or something different.

By the way, does anyone else get this "AHS is currently unavailable. Check back later" message a lot?

jbrat2219 · #**244** 17th January 2009, 04:47 AM

I just did a few minutes ago...

Well I guess I'll be in the minority and say aside from the text and that weird thing she did with her lips I think the picture is cute. Plain but cute. I like the styling and make-up they did.

The cover still doesn't change the fact that I think this song is boring as hell.

I get that messsage about five or six times a day. It can get annoying when I want to post, and get that message. Hmm... could be server problems/issues.

Yet, you could certainly argue for a different type of cover in terms of concept (something more colorful, etc.) and a better font. Sure. Fine.

Please, crawl around Wiki and do some American single (or singles outside the J-Music World) research. You'd all save yourselves the pain.

But I forgot Hikki fans/a lot of j-pop fans were some of the biggest complainers ever (IMHO). Just remember that this is not the J-Music Industry.

And yes, Sundae, it's quite sad. Yet hilarious. I didn't know we could see single covers while listening to the radio! (This post will probably be buried, but whatever...)

look at the 'Womanizer' cover (without Britney) -- that just looks so AWESOME! And the Circus (single) cover!

if there's one thing American singles tend to have, it's awesome font, seriously. Katy Perry's, Lady Gaga's Christmas Tree, etc.

Umm, honestly this is the dumbest thing I think I've ever read on AHS in my life. Not caring about an artist because of a bad font choice?

Font choice is obviously a serious issue here on AHS

Like I said-- No one sees single covers in the US. Take the text off of them and show them around to people and they wouldn't recognize them as anything more than just another picture of whichever artist.

And I don't know about you, but I think the US cover for "Hot N' Cold" by Katy Perry looks a lot stupider than the "Come Back To Me" cover. The UK versions hot though. xD

Sundae · #**254** 17th January 2009, 07:12 AM

I'm looking forward to seeing how she will respond to this.(If she does) She said that she was going to respond to her 'peeps'.

Exactly. The fact that people are freaking out and saying that they're not going to support Hikki because they don't like the single cover is just ridiculous. Nobody in the States ever sees single covers because nobody releases physical singles anymore.

Luv ~Venus~ · #**256** 17th January 2009, 07:43 AM

^Ikr! It's like they think IDJ is going to promote the pic instead of Hikki. Please get outta that mind set ok. This is not Japan.

I'm so grossed out by people who don't like Hikki's sexy open mouth pics too. She pulls it so well.

CoriKaru · #**257** 17th January 2009, 08:02 AM

A lot of people see the Single Covers actually. On iTunes.

ALPHY · #**258** 17th January 2009, 08:03 AM

Kewt cover! <3

Luv ~Venus~ · #**259** 17th January 2009, 08:06 AM

True Cori but seriously, no one is really going to care about it. =/ Too many people are put emphasis on the cover....well covers period. Yes, the font is ugly but the pic isn't bad at all.

The average American does not go on iTunes to browse for new music... They go there to buy a song that they heard on the radio/TV and they have already decided to purchase. A cover isn't going to change their decision.
