Lol when both came out on the first day, many ppl made the worst out of them, but with time they learn to love them.

Besides quality are low. I don't know about you guys, those poses in Rule/Sparkle in a yellow suit with a pink background is way worse.

Unlike albums, singles tend to be nothing like their Covers, except sometimes related to the pv~. Point case~> MW/Days&Green/Rule&Sparkle/Glitter&Fated/Talk'n 2 Myself/ TW... etc.

He pretty much butchered the potential of this photoshoot! And I pretty much NEVER complain about her covers, but I'm not feelin' these... It's seriously just her posing.

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.

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!

That seriously made me laugh out loud.

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.

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.

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.

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!

No. Never an almost unanimous dislike/hatred like this.

No its not. At worst its usually 50/50 - this is more like 90/10 or even 95/5.
