Nothing better than swinging around a towel in the sunshine to this song.

I actually love these songs lol, they're sweet and summery. Like summer singles should be. The covers I'll dislike forever though. But there's nothing wrong with your eyes artcika, it's down to taste. I like loads of pictures other people find bad, so I wouldn't worry

The covers 're bad but the song itself 's flawless!

I can understand why people don't like them, I guess she looks way too tan for one thing. But there's worse covers out there, personally I think the UNITE!, Free & Easy and HEAVEN covers aren't that great.

The song itself is one of my personal favourites, it never gets old.

On a professional level, it's bad. It's so photoshopped it looks cheap. I don't know why they couldn't have just photographed her over real, untouched scenery.

The font is a bad choice for overlaying. The text is hard to read, especially ~LOVE is ALL~, given the busy nature of the greenery.

I don't hate the songs though.

yea really artcika, nothing wrong with ur eyes.. haha.. it's down to personal taste afterall.

ownsarai · #26 2nd September 2011, 06:48 AM

I'm one of the few that doesn't have any problems with the covers/songs/PVs. I like them all. I especially LOVE Sunset as a song and the PV was very sweet.
People really need to stop expecting perfection from Ayu at every release because people do nothing but complain when its not up to their standards. Ayu can't please everyone all the time, although a lot of fans expect her to, it seems.

wildconnetta · #27 2nd September 2011, 07:36 AM

I ♥ the songs, they are epic, and I'm glad she did videos like them. The cover's are nowhere near as good as You were.../BALLAD, but I love them still.

While there's nothing appealing about the covers I still don't have such a deep hatred towards them and don't think of them as her worst covers

I wasn't shocked by them one bit like everyone else was. I still think the A BEST 2, appears & (miss)understood covers are much worse and had also seen much more unappealing pictures from her in various photo books & magazine shoots released before these covers. As for the single I still think it's an exaggeration to call it her "worst single ever" which is what many fans think of it as. I love Sunrise, and if Sunset is deemed her "worst ballad" by many fans I think she's done pretty well for herself. It's quite pretty and relaxing, though obviously nothing epic. Not a fan of the PV's at all really. The way they were shot (camera positions) bothered me and not enough different scenes.

joshohhhhh · #29 2nd September 2011, 08:00 AM

the words should have been in the water, to be clearer. they did a horrible job using the blur tool around the plants and ayu. it looks like a blind person did it tbh. that being said, the covers could have been perfect. it was just doing the wrong thing with the right tools.
-i love the songs however. sunrise, being my favorite summer song.

tokyoxjapanxfan · #30 2nd September 2011, 08:52 AM

I don't think it's all the terrible, but it the fact that it -could- have been better. Like others have said, they went to Bali and they chose the view from the pool...

It's more, for me, the disappointment in the effort that went into the shoot. The songs are fine, the videos are average, but the covers look so lackluster. There's no energy in them at all...

BlackSilence · #31 2nd September 2011, 10:50 AM

lol I wanted to give a little bit of love for those covers, no offence, but some of you guys make me want to go:

NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE STATING YOUR OPPINION AND IT'S DIFFERENT, but because you're doing it in a wrong thread lol
why can't you for once just not go to the threads where people are liking something? xD It's sort of an appreaciation thread not a what is wrong & what I like thread, I wanted at least this one to be full of positivity

PHAIL of mine cuz i forgot a few details about AHS xD

I'm happy to see that at least a few didn't have a problem with the covers. I know tatses are tastes, but lots of people would be just going with the flow unconciously, and other oppinions affect them too. So at some point i'm happy I'm not alone finding the Sunrise/Sunset release as a quite good one

Kanzaki · #32 2nd September 2011, 11:35 AM

Well sorry, but:

Is my taste weird? Or maybe I'm blind?

This seems to open up to debate more than it invites to be fawning over the single imo.

Catfisk · #33 2nd September 2011, 11:41 AM

I love the covers, but they edited her face in such a weird way.. Idk, but she just doesn't look like Ayu :/..

true I asked the questions, but I didn't ask for the explanation if anyone answers to them as a "yes", and none said YES so far, but gave explanations lol

NintendoHTF1242 · #35 2nd September 2011, 06:09 PM

Sunrise = Flawless
Sunset = Horrible
Covers = Disgusting
PV's = Boring

my feelings

Taste is entirely subjective, so you simply have different tastes than others.

You said you question why it's SOOO bad, so I merely gave insight on the alternate side of the debate.

emi♡ · #37 2nd September 2011, 07:04 PM

I think the songs are fine. The melody was great~ And once again, further proof that Ayu songs benefit from diversity in the writers.

But I can't agree about the covers, I'm sorry. I don't understand how they could take such a beautiful shot, and turn it into this photoshopped mess. And I've seen the off shots for Bali...so...I mean...that just makes it worse, because she looks so incredibly beautiful everywhere else.

I also, disagree about the font. I like the cursive font, but I don't like the outline in that green, which makes it look cheap/cheesy, and I don't like the Invitation font for the "LOVE is ALL".

So, personally, I don't hold this one against Ayu at all, this is out of her control...

and didnt the people responsible get fired or something? But I don't think we ever got proof of the reason.

off-topic: I personally don't understand all the hate for (m)u covers. I can understand the CD-only, cause the smile is awful. But I love the CD-DVD. Lots of covers are plain and simple like that, and I thought it was sweet, with the heart and everything.

JackieRos · #38 2nd September 2011, 08:32 PM

I liked the covers actually, I was one of the few ahahahha.

Sandy · #39 2nd September 2011, 08:41 PM

They covers are nice. Weird, but nice.

Only dislike I have in them is her hair. She looks so much older >.<

I really like the songs too, more the PV's though ^^

susiowong · #40 2nd September 2011, 09:14 PM

The background looks totally fake, like a cut-and-paste job, and the colors are obnoxiously bright. That's why I don't like them. But no, I don't think it makes you weird for liking them; to each their own.

I don't like the songs either though. Meh.
