Beautiful cover... That's quite a leap from the clavicle shot for Ariamaru Tomi.

I honestly think the Sanmon Gossip cover is better than the Ringo no Uta one... Maybe a similar idea, but the new one looks more interesting... I really like the angle and the perspective on that photo, and also Shiina´s eyes seem to have more live and depth

Lookin' good Ringo! Not my ideal cover (I generally prefer covers without images of the artist, especially ones like this... it kinda reminds me of Maki Goto or something). I still like it though, it's a good shot.
It's sorta like she's picking up from where she left off... this cover and the single cover are similar to Ringo no Uta (as mentioned above). So there's a connection going over the Tokyo Jihen era. I want this album nao! |

I don't know
But I don't like the idea of sharing a similar cover with a single (Sanmon Gossip vs Ariamaru Tomi) It never happened during Ringo-era? |

thats the cover, really? It looks kind of odd that there is no title or anything, the only solo album without one was SS (out of the main three, that is).
As an actual photograph, I don't really particularly like the composition, but I do like how immediately upon first glance you know EXACTLY what is going on outside the shot, how she is sitting and holding herself, etc, which says a lot. I like that suggestive attitude, especially if it relates to the music. I am interested as to the back cover or the rest of the album artwork with a cover like that. |

She looks CG-ed.

really? I don't think so. it kind of reminds me of the Mayonaka-cover. Ringo has ridiculously flawless skin, I wouldn't be surprised if this was all done with proper makeup and professional lighting (lighting makes or breaks everything). I'm guessing they did a more-or-less full body airbrush for the shoot (her skin tone looks so even). It was probably retouched to give a more flawless look, but overall I think it looks relatively close to what the original raws must look like.
I like how they left her the highlights in her eyes. recently, the trend has been to digitally remove the reflection in a model's eyes. I like to study the eyes to see the lighting set up and camera equipment. Usually you can look at a shot, check out the lighting pattern and reflection, and recreate the lighting pretty faithfully. /end nerdrant |
