I just think Ayu pulls off sexy with a lot of class. The CD cover of Ku's "Best ~first things~" CD only version comes to mind when I think of a tacky/trying too hard cover.

I agree with truehappiness Ayu is always on top and especially with the upcoming summer single. Her A/H/& summer songs were absolutely great! I am very excited^^

I hope to hear more CREA compo, but "will" from (M)U dissapointed me...it's nothing close to the power/freedom expressed by her compos in the I am.../RAINBOW albums.

Ayu doesn't simulate sex at her concerts thankfully~ XD [/cough MADONNA]

:3 All we usually get from Ayu is a 'women controlling men' i.e AT05's whips and stuff.. and that one really odd 'Maxim[?]' Asia photoshoot with the muscle guys in leather xD

^ LOL

Ayu said that her Arena Tour 2006 is more "adulty"... u know what that means....

I guess it's just another image change that she had in mind some time back. Who knows, maybe she'll have another one soon enough...But for now, it almost feels as if she's no longer the trend-setter, but following the global "glam and sexy" trend.

yeah. not much of her "cute" image. all were rather mature.

Well, you have to realise that most of her fans (at least her Japanese fans) are probably now into their 20s.

I personally liked the more "adult" feel to the concert...nothing trashy, of course, but it was tasteful sexy. :P

Yep, and not too strong sexual tendencies, mature. :)

^ hmm. i guess i noe the reason. cos she is getting older! :P it will be awkward if she continues to sing Boys & Girls in a pink outfit. haha! she ended the concert with Bold & Delicious with the cleopatra image. WOW!

^after B&D it was the encore, too. So, not ended really.

I don't think her covers are "scandalous". It's more her tour outfit.

To change the subject... Anyone else can't wait to hear more about the upcoming single? I can't wait for the covers, title, tracklist... XD

^Apart from the songs themselves it's the cover I'm looking forward to the most.

i'm thinking of not listening to the single and wait longer until the album is nearly released xD

so i get an album with alot of new songs! because in (m)u i hardly listen to the songs that were singles

^If you manage to do that you will be my god. :P

*thinks about the 6-8 months left untill the new album*

^ haha, i think i can do it!

i should take my mind off Ayu music and internet and focus on my studies....i have exams coming in 2 weeks, i realy think i should take a break from Ayu and internet!! >.<"

^ Aye, good luck with exams and such o_O

I'm excited for the new single of course, hehe...I'm moreso anticipating the release date just so then I can buy CDs again :D :P

I LOVE the new single and the remixes and the covers and the colors and everything!!!!!! to me is perfect!!! I love it so much!!!! i.tt.s so good the whole concept!

I hope it sells a lot!!!

woot! this thread is back!! yay~

I'm the proud owned of kanariya, Fly high, SURREAL, Vogue, Free & Easy (1st Press) and A (red) from today and forever onward :-O
