No they're talking about the neck muscle that's there in the left pic and gone in the right pic. I'm assuming the album cover is the unphotoshopped one. They pushed her right cheek in a little (on the left side of the picture) and they smoothed her neck out.

lol I like how they also decided that her cheek was too fat.

Guess they made use of the notorious giraffe-technique to expand Ayu's neck in those covers. It looks somewhat... long?

It's nice to know there's less photoshop in the real cover than in the promo textless picture.

^Agree. I know I'm being naive and stuff, but everytime I see "before & after photoshop" pictures I still get kind of sad... Stupid me...

I personally like the juxtaposition between the title and the cover. For me, "Colours" suggests liveliness, fun, even messiness, and then the covers show an image of Ayu that is remote, distant, serious, cold, and polished, reinforced by the blue tint. I would like to read it as emphasizing the tension between the sleek EDM sound she is exploring and the usual emotional rawness/raggedness of her lyrics/music.

But maybe I'm just over analyzing

Also, I think the idiosyncrasies in the font are just a matter of graphic design balance (vowels are in lowercase, left, left, right, increasing number of letters so Colours is in the middle) but they also wanted a smidgen of visual interest.

Makeup and nail polish are great. They match the cleanness of the covers, and the nail tint gives off a cool (cold), stony vibe. Recently, I've been obsessed with geologic colors like slate.

Looking forward to your opinion on the album.

She looks gorgeous and they're not beige. That's great.

I like the text like it is on the CD only, it looks awful at the top/bottom. The case mixing is not good though, it looks so juvenile. And why is it over her eye?? Noope.

Oh well... at least they tried to find a non circa 1999 word font for this cover.

I would love if there is a version of the covers not like a typical cd, like a box set in a really nice package: the font in metallic so when you move the thing it get different colors plus a key chain with colors lights. Just dreaming (Of course it would cost more than „10000 lol)
