Why so negative?

[Iyreen]

I dont really like the cover because I was expecting for a nice scenery beach or whadsoever summerish thingy that really suit Bali as the cover shoot location. Not just Ayu standing infront of some of bushes, with somewhat like a pool behind it which can be shoot at any ordinary pools and perhaps some help of photoshop. IMO no need to go to Bali if the cover is going to be like this simple.

Now I only hope that the booklet/inserts will going to be better than this.

haha omg

They're better than the original XD

btw de gustibus no disputatum est personally I don't like them, they looks overphotoshopped and really cheap/pointless. And Ayu's facial expression said 'I must lookin' into the camera then this torture will over'.

[sanzo2011]

FAKE and they photoshoped her too much ! bu it's ok because i have no intention of buying this single ! i just buy her album !

[JackieRos]

because the covers ruin the song

i like the covers i really do but she should have matched it with the song
she didn't smile she should have

if ayu likes them so do i

[vampireknightzero]

Her expressions for the cd only look really listless... hope the songs will be able to add some plus points

It's just too much photoshop.
Yeah I know Ayu's been airbrushed for a long, long time now, but this just brings it to a whole new level.
It's just awful.
Even the background is over contrast.

As someone who's interested in photography and editing... it's painful to look at.

[nemesisyume]

^maybe the colors and stuff will be different for real
like the first pics of Days/GREEN the covers were really white and too bright but for real they were quite good.

[Kingdom]

they're cheap looking and ugly, one of ayu's worst covers it's hard to be positive over something you think is hideous.

[love in music]

because people usually are negative about these things.. it's not a surprise.
it's hard for me to even think of them as her worst covers, my first thoughts seeing them were "HOT" not "EW" like most people. i definitely want a poster with this single, they're her best covers since GREEN/Days for me

oh but bad parts are:
she looks bored in CD-only
the background looks fake
she's photoshopped a lot (as usual tho)

but as a whole these just work for me. she just looks gorgeous, her outfit and hair <3 and body is like.. damn.

[truehappiness]

If you ask me, it's because a lot of fans didn't get what they want and are whining about how it didn't fit their vision. Generally this happens a lot with covers that don't match the amazingness of the songs that came out before the covers [like STEP you and its hideously washed out ****tiness].. but eh. I find that people just need to learn to grow up and handle these situations like 'adults' or at least mature individuals..

Instead of: "LOL I HATE IT OMGGG I WANT TO DIE NOW.."

We could say something like: "Oh, I don't really like those, but it's mostly because of ... etc etc."

-sigh-

I wish that as each passing day went by, my level of faith/confidence/whatever in the AHS community as a whole didn't go down like two notches. It's practically almost negative!

I like the cover because:
- Fresh new concept
- Brighter and better theme than R/S

I don't like it because:
- Lacks of creative input (I think)
- Too obviously photoshopped

But that's all.
But the background they actually chose doesn't look very natural. It looks like they just take a backdrop from photoshop or any other program.

There was so much potential, it's sad.

this.

[minna]

I really like the concept, the colors. it is definitly summerish
but her expression...it looks like it was taken between 2 shots.
her expression is weird. in the cd only one she looks tired
and the cd+dvd is not better

[Ayu_Ready]

I like Ayu face her hairstyle and her outfit but I think in reality it's the background who is so awfull !

I don't know who change the background on an other thread and it was better so I think it's the backgroung who is too "plastic"

[inspire_rmx]

i kinda like it thou it's realli over photo shop. love her hair and the outfit ^^ it's definitely better than RULE and NEXT LEVEL cover imo.

[waterballoon]

I like everything except her facial expression and background.

I think the reasons why people don't like the covers have been stated several times. Of course there is going to be negativity - if people think that the product is substandard, why should they heap praise upon it? As for covers not meeting expectations? I personally had no expectations. I didn't even think about the cover once until I actually saw it - its just not good regardless of what peoples expectations might have been.

[truehappiness]

Psst, things have been substandard for a while now, and there have been heaps of praise for things that never deserved it, haha.

No offense, I personally feel as though most of AHS just has really bad visual taste, haha.

[Beauty4123]

it's not called being negative. the covers really are bad oh well.

^And what would be a good visual taste? Yours? =)

I didn't like the covers, but I don't think they are the worst thing ever done either...
