I never thought about how strange and shoking was Duty cover art.
It is the back-cover of an Ayu fan made album; it was a present. They were the first songs I heard from Ayu. And, it was the first pic I saw of Ayu (not exactly the cover, but a pic form the same phtoshot).
And yes, I remember that it was strange to me, but not quite strange; Ayu's music was something totally new to me so that surprise was "normal" to me.
Years passed and I was told by a friend: "Hey! how can you consider an artist that has released an album with that cover!!? She looks like a ... (...)".
And i thought, yes, in fact, it's quite aggressive to be like that in cover. But I didn't shocked about I am.. cover neither, in which she quite less dressed than in Duty cover.
I think Duty cover means she was trapped by her job and the people and interests that surrounder her. But, if this means this, why the proper avex trax released and accepted to make such a job, if this was against them??
So, as masa says, she felt trapped by a wrong image that poeple had of her. And she decided to make a RADICAL change from LOVEppears style.
note: i have just discovered Ayu has broken the cage in Duty's cover! So she may scape!
