But i only saw a couple of post featuring Namie on there....The guy seems to have a lot of beauty shots, and magazine stuff, or so it looks from what he's got on instagram, so i'm not surprised by the cover image. It's clean and polished - ready for the magazine cover. These sort of photos are a staple in Japan's music visuals as well as magazine covers.

^ That's the list of works he did with Namie. The beauty magazine concept is clear enough already. We just need to figure it out now if ayu is going be edgy on this even if it is a little bit but to me it is pretty clear that avex want to advertise it as "beauty" product even being a music product.
To me, personally this translates as general public and not much fans.
Ayu imagery nowadays is pretty much attached to brands and even cosmetics if we take a deeper look at her instagram.
