Just thought something more Indian things and Arabic style or maybe my culture, Malay?

I can't wait to see she's wearing Baju Kurung or maybe Kebaya? She must looks very pretty in it! :D

There is no "normal version" of appears/loveppears cover... she is black on the single and she is white (no blonde japanese, but actually white) on the album...

well, but she had used the Dutch/Holland-theme in Dearest right?

it's not an album, but a single...

for me, i prefer Italy, or Thailand..

Italy: the Pisa Tower or anything else, idk that much. LOL
Thailand: The Elephant, and the traditional buildings and houses... it's kinda look old-fashioned but it's very asian-ethnic :) hopefully it will fit Ayu's STYLe with a little twist.. :D

black face is generally regarded as pretty racist.

Oh, I love it too! Like in the Inspire PV. With the really long nails and the hair.

So, she is being racist twice... cuz she is doing a black face and a white face :P

i thought this is Balinese? or Southeast Asian style?

see the plants behind, it's obviously tropical.

Can she go Egypt or something? Or maybe Russia :D

yay!! The Dutch theme would have fit perfectly Momets cover!!!
Don-t you think so, instead of that boring cover

I-d like something hawaiian themed or also african-safari style

@Jwiz : EPIC !! I want Egypt Ayu too :heart
Chinese Ayu is still my favourite though :D

Just like your Avatar :D

okay maybe normal was the wrong word when referring to the appearsw cover, it's just it doens't mater what other race she would've used, there are alway going to be offensive people toward something like that... i see it more as another expression of something.

Relax, I was just saying that she is edited to look western on the album cover... most people don't notice it^^

I know she did INSPIRE, but I want another Spanish influenced cover! I looooove INSPIRE's cover. She looks beautiful like that. :yes
Also in INSPIRE, she had the Indian thing going on.... I liked that, too. :)

It's really hard to think of things that she hasn't at least touched base on a little.... I guess something tribal, be it Native American or African? That would be neat.

I certainly noticed!! D: I just never knew it was intentional, lol! Like, I remember first seeing that cover and thinking, 'holy crap, she looks so Caucasian for some reason.. o_O' Good to know, good to know... :laugh
About the blackface thing, it's not "racist" in most places, from what I've seen. The only place I know of that takes it so seriously is the U.S., though there may be some European countries that don't take kindly to the act..? Not sure.

one of my all time favorite koda kumi singles/single covers is DDD. it's inspired by british punk, so when I saw that ayumi was dong "rock and roll circus" and had a photoshoot/pvs done in england, i thought it would be the same....nope.....

if she did a truly british punk look, it would be cool.

^ i like the native american feathers lol
speaking o which would be cool.
ayu can be Pocahontas
then Cleopatra
then Marie Antoinette
then Anastasia
etc. etc. just do world princesses and ladies

RUSSIAN!!!!!!!!!! Ayu dress up as Pleshenko!

ehhh. yeeeaaah. . .no XDD
weir would be better XD her new stylist

Weir's American no? Baby, he's with US! xD; LOL

As far as the Pleshenko thing, I'm totally joking. But a Russian theme would be cool since Japan and Russia are neighbors. :yes
