idk, the cover looks really fake!
it looks like someone cut and pasted her lips from a previous photo and same with her eyes, nose, etc.
it srsly looks so fanmade it ain't even funny.
maybe i expect too much from her.

I'm not that much into it too, but I think this time he really did great! It seems he gave all he got to draw her XD

wow!! Akira Toriyama is the guy who made dragon ball!!! so cool that he drew a picture of ayu!!!!!! this seems too good to be true xDD i really like everything about this single so far!!

and FINALLY a colorful cover! even if the background isnt the most thrilling of backgrounds, it's still nice that it isn't just black or white...or red

but i feel like this is really unfinished xD maybe it's just a promo and someone stuck the title on it lol...whatevs, i love it still! weee~~~

*oh, and Toriyama said that it was really hard drawing Ayu because of how "big" she is--like, trying to represent her in a way that's true to who she is, it was hard to do that. And also, he has never drawn a real person before, and he has never collaborated with anyone else before, so Ayu is the first. And also, it said something about the biggest anime/manga ever made teaming up with the biggest jpop artist. And how ayu is a huge fan of Dragon Ball and, if i'm not mistaken, she owns all the dvds(??)...but I might have read that wrong (o_o)

Oh, and the cd designs are only on the first press editions. So this is the first press bonus (but there's always the chance of having other things on the first press lol)

I love it!!!

At least this cover looked different from her style. Her cover always almost the same from single-to-single. And I'm really happy she made something different now (the CD artwork also great!)

I dont really like it.

But she looks good and it "goes" I guess...

her outfit looks really cheapy though...I really really wish she wore something else that like...fit the theme just as well. This is just kinda meh for me.

It looks like a 16 year old teen who shops at hot topic got her outfit.

I think the CDs are really cool, even if they don't really look like her...or I don't know how to explain it lol They look like her, but then they don't, you guys get it I think.

Everything could have been a lot worse though. At least she looks good.
