I think I'm quite ... disappointed. Actually, I have already thought that it would turn out to be something like this.

Seriously, how could they make the whole thing look so fake? Ayu' body looks good, but the picture as a whole is a total fail. Her skin is overphotoshoped. Even the background is overphotoshoped. What is the point of shooting in Bali anyway? The cover doesn't show any scenery even a bit, showing Ayu, bushes and water?

I don't complain just for the sake of complaining though, I just don't like the cover that much. I really can't get use to this style of Kasuyoshi the photographer. What surprise me the most is that Ayu, continuously, approves to use his works.

exactly




just like Furashubakku said
if ayu didn't like like the covers she would have said "no redo them"
just like she decided to change the I am... cover

for me the covers were done pretty quick actually
and the single release date is not even close

so on the cover of Days/GREEN we see a green ayu counting the days?
oh and there sure is a BLUE BIRD on the covers of those!

I would blame ayu more for the faces she makes in front of the camera
kazuyoshi took the Kingdom pics for kuu and Anna Tsuchiyas Cocoon and those are really nice. even the dita von teese pics are amazing.

WOW is it only me who loves the covers? O.o

I love her outfit to start with! It makes me think of her I am... era so much!
And I really think that the bakground looks calm and summery. It looks happy! She could have smiled more for a happy summer single but but, I think she looks calm in a way. Its beautiful. According to the small pictures we have I can't see so much trouble with the bakgrond. I think the colours looks so pretty. They blend in very well with each other!
And yes maybe they could have done less photoshoping on her but lol, Ayu is always hard photoshoped these days so... Let's complain on everything else too!! Nah I love that summery calm feeling these covers give, I love her outfit and I love the colours used!

No my conclusion that from these small covers, I LOVE THEM! They maybe I will be proved wrong when the bigger one comes, or even more in love. ^^ I'll wait and see.

That's true LOL. But she's a singer before a model now. Plus, I think they just tell Ayu too look sexy, she doesn't know how to that's why she acts like that in front of the camera imo.

I don't think it's complacency at all, if Ayu disliked it that much, she'd put her foot down, but the reason she isn't is obviously because she must like it at least a little.
Also, the portfolio thing, Ayu isn't a model. She isn't an artist. She's a singer, sometimes they don't have the best covers and they can't satisfy everyone. She's doing her best and she obviously thinks that Kazuyoshi is doing a good job...
I get what you mean... which leads me to the next part: that by assuming Ayu chose these covers based on her judgment and these are the BEST shots... then God Kazuyoshi must have had a gallery of thrash candid shots of -Lost in Bali-...

And I bet while selecting the covers... Ayu was like "Ugh 8 more years before the contract ends... "

Actually, the offshot of Mirrorcle World and talkin' 2 myself were rather quite good [probably among the final few shots she probably wanted]... so.. I kind of wonder if there were one or two better shots?

Maybe we'll see in the booklet, haha.

The outcome of these covers are really out of my expectation
I feel that this kind of low quality background cover doesn't fits Ayu's status at all LOL!!

maybe she likes them and thinks they're good and not horrendous she probably thought there was nothing to worry about, but the covers are just not what a lot of people wanted/expected.

Really, Kazuyoshi should stop making Ayu do the drugged and lost face... He really doesn't know how to make a woman beautiful.
he doesn't put a gun up to her head and tell her to "make this face OR ELSE!!" it's all ayu imo, and her recent diary pics she takes of herself proves it. but honestly, i don't think the facial expressions look too bad on these covers, mainly because i don't see any 'fish lips' but maybe they'll show up in HQ lol

So true, but it's going to be the same reactions from people for whatever Ayu does, had done, and will ever do. (including songs, pvs, covers, books, magz)

True, but I feel like he 'guides' her to those expressions. Before when ND CHOW and Leslie were mainly the ones doing her covers/magazines etc... it just seemed like she was more relaxed. And now with Kazuyoshi***** it's like... this explosion of awkward facial expressions.

Shimo: GIVE ME SEX!
Ayu: ....-pout-

Thats why I keep coming back to check this thread.

To keep the laughter going, the first 2ch comment about it that I've been able to find:

"新曲のジャケ写きもすぎwww
また劣化したねwww
ブスブスブスブス"

"The new cover photo is way disgusting. lollol
It just keeps getting worse. lol
uglyuglyuglyugly"

I imagine this is the first of many such comments about to pour in.
