first time saw it - EEEWWWW what is that
but after take a look of it, again and again, i find that the cover is not that bad, the whole awkwardness is working perfectly...beside that she looks HOT!!!
i think its a real ayu body, because she looks tan in her unphotoshoped diary photo, so no way they crop ayu head to someone else body..
the bikini looks very good too...

but..what dissapointed me is that she doesn't need go to bali, just to shoot this kind of thing...she can do it anywhere near the beach and the pool...bali is so beautiful but why the result is like that?

but i must agree, that she need to find another photographer and creative director...

my rating for those small sample of cover is : 7/10

I don't know, people just seem to be hypersensitive when it comes to Ayu-things [whether it be an outfit, a PV, a magazine spread, a song, a lyric, or something] and it can go either way and I really don't think that's a good trait to have is all, haha.

Okay I get you ( ). I guess that's the way fans are... I've just never seen this kind of reaction to something before. I mean like 9/10 people who have commented don't like it. But oh well. I think I've calmed down.

Like I said earlier, it's just a cover. If you don't like the cover, it's not the end of the world, it doesn't change anything about how the music sounds.

Very true. I'm sure glad the music is better than the covers!

People complain about anything! It doesn't surprise me, haha.

I remember when they complained about NEXT LEVEL cover, Sparkle lyrics, Rule PV, SCawaii shoots and even the ARENA TOUR stage...
Personally, I like the covers, she's hot! ^^

so am i the only one who can actually see, like, a white lining around ayu's hair? (i guess they were trying to make it look like light was shining on her or something) in the CD only cover. it's as if her body was just pasted onto the cheap background. just.....cheap, lol. or maybe i have bad eyesight but anyway, i'm getting a kick out of all the complaints

I think its just sorta like glow from the sun or something. We'll see in the HQ ones but I personally wouldnt put it past them.

Also as am I. Its bloody hilarious.

I don't like the cover pictures, looks so FAKE and she looks very serious, c'mon man! she enjoyed her days in Bali... is a summer single, not a drama!

I'd have preferred a thousand times before this pic with the white bikini from Vivi's Diary Deiji Deiji book where she's seen smiling and happy

the photo looks like a clipping pasted on a too easy and bad background... hot ayu yeah but not REAL ayu, do u know what i mean?

I really do hope Ayu / Avex still can change the cover pic... and plz fire Kazuyoshi haha!

Covers are cute, but she looks like a ギャル。 I don’t  really know how to explain this, but Google it if  you must.

am I the only one who likes the covers?!!
omg. after hearing the terrible song sunrise i thought this single would be a major flop. but the covers are nice, hopefully sunset will be good as well.

the CD only one =

but why does it look like she's grabbing her ear in the cd+dvd cover? oh well!

Hmmm....The covers are okay in my opinion. My main problem is that Shinomura or whatever his name is work with Ayu is over photoshopped so nothing looks real. As a fashion photographer myself I know that you want your model and the scenery to look flawless but that doesn't mean unnatural. One of my main problems is the background like others have mentioned. It almost looks like a backdrop rather than the real outdoors. My opinion may change when we get larger versions of the covers but as of right now these are not Ayu's best. Another bad thing is that we may be stuck with pictures of Ayu like this for a while since I have a feeling there is a contract with Shinomura that cannot be broken without many legal issues to follow which Avex nor Ayu probably wants.

Well they're not so good, but not horrible! I like the bikini!!
And she sort of looks like she's trying to smile a bit in the CD+DVD!!
(maybe just a bit?)
