Not that these are fantastic, but they're not terrible. Overexaggeration is not your friend, children.
YOUR JUST SAYING THAT CAUSE ALL YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS HER BOOBS. ( )
Btw, I know no one cares, but I've never complained about anything Ayu has done to this extent other than this. I've never not liked a cover!

I'm looking at her toned midsection, yo. But I occasionally glance at it as a whole and drool even more. It's fine though. I don't LOVE the covers, she just looks smoking.

To paraphrase from people back then:
"What the hell? Even the water looks photoshopped!"

I guess you have really really poor taste when it comes to colors, or something.. haha..
What do you mean here? I don't know if your being sarcastic,but I don't think theres much arguing that those look rich, they're dreamy. i guess thats why people said they're photoshopped.

I have a hard time seeing how people can like these covers to be honest ^^;; Her hair looks fake, her tan looks fake, her body looks fake, the background looks fake...

I dunno, maybe I'm over judging, but they're REALLY awful. I mean, her face doesn't even look like her face on the CD+DVD cover. EVERYTHING looks fake. it's not exactly something I find appealing in a cover ^^;;.

Sigh, please stop. I actually have liked all her covers, especially recently (I'm actually usually saying the same things in the new covers thread as you are now!!) and don't like these, i tried to say we can agree to disagree, but i guess I'm just kidding myself.

Maybe if i was straight I would like the covers a bit more since there's quite a bit of middrift!

I've only been here for about a year but has there ever been such a backlash like this before?

I'm worry about how...well...non-ayu fans will respond. To me it looks like she's trying to be a sexy 30-year-old ganguro. They will compare her to Kuu, too!

Just about every time something new comes out, it's this bad, yo.

Nothing new here in terms of the complaining/backlash/fan-anger department. Satisfaction can only last so long before someone/some people/just about everyone freaks out over something that isn't to their liking.

But this isn't a very good way to start.

Sigh...why can't Tohoshinki pose shirtless for one of their covers?

They may like it. its definitely going for the sex appeal. It isn't a ripoff of Kuu perse, just that it is going for sex appeal as Kuu does (though she doesn't always).

Are you sure?? Cause like it seems that the satisfaction rating is like -4324097%.

I'm tellin' ya! They don't look that bad! It could be worse.... It could be Ayu COMPLETELY white (as in the color white) and completely naked while splashing around in the water! XDDD

Well, in my eyes, it's like: Who really cares what anyone else thinks? It's just what you think that matters. Which is why I'm sort of just disregarding everyone's opinions as lame and totally overexaggerated at the moment, haha.

Well we who don't like it can ignore the positive feedback. Like i said everyone can agree to disagree and be entitled to their own opinions.

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the hi-res photos will shed more light and make them look richer. That would be awesome if the first press was holographic covers to make everything stand out more!

I'd rather her be pale then have this incredibly fake looking tan tbh =/...

I'm hoping they're better in HQ, and if they aren't, well, it's just the cover, not the end of the world.

I'd like to bring some positive comments to this thread by saying

I LOVE THESE COVERS!

The theme of this single is summer, and regardless of whether she looks good or not, they definitely fit that. So avex, ayu, and whoever designs the covers have accomplished their goal. Good for them!

I personally think she looks lovely... the only thing I don't like is the text, as usual. So hopefully when we get textless covers, I and some of the other shoopers around here can fix that.

The end.

Wow, these covers are great. Haha, didn't the Rule/Sparkle and Next Level covers made much more distress in the community?

I think Ayu looks hot, so different but still wow so hot.

True, very true. Like i said these aren't gonna stop me from getting the single. I listened to the previewes of Sunrise and i can already tell its gonna be a favorite of mine, so thats at least keeping me from being totally dissapointed with the covers.
I guess one wrong on my part is that i'm comparng them to her past summer single covers. these are ok on their own I guess. Just know she could do better.

But really, in your opinion, what's so good about it?
