I absolutely love Ayu with that pink wig!
I'm desperate for the covers to be good. Literally praying for them!

I became a fan in 2002 and I didn't like LOVEppears till 2005 or 2006 I guess. but now I love this album, I even think it's really one of her best


btw am I the only one who doesn't like ayu with this long wig?

Also... I think they may have used some sort of mansion in London for the Party Queen shoot which would explain why they were in a very grassy area.

I wonder if she's really going to be a 'queen'/royalty on the cover.

Here is the shot they took before they started the shoot. Maybe someone can ID roughly where they are?

Spoiler:

I MOST CERTAINLY HOPE SO!

She's nude 100% xD

OK.

I'll admit that I did a double take just in case....


Looking at that other pic... Maybe the cover will be like the outdoor tea party in Alice in Wonderland, with her sitting at the head of a table decked out in a gown?

That green shade of the grass bought Shropshire straight into my mind xD I've recently marathoned the BBC's Tales from the Green Valley, Edwardian Farm, Victorian Farm and Victorian Pharmacy - some of the shows were filmed there It's close to the border of Wales but is really picturesque with lovely green fields....

[truehappiness]

Given the feel of how beautiful you are's cover, I think that it probably will be in some sort of castle and feel very rich. Here's hoping that the covers are not closeups so that we get some background details!

[Aderianu]

I can imagine cover in front of bush with red berries =)

[truehappiness]

Hahah, maybe! I wish they would've at least leaked some more details of the shoot.

[MissElin_]

^^ Not berries but... Like this?

Spoiler:

[truehappiness]

That shoot could have been so good if they had just chosen a different outfit and backdrop.

Something tells me we might get the covers in less than 12 hours, haha. If not now, I don't know when they'd do it!

Looking at the previous times when covers came out, it seems like they favor releasing at either noon or midnight Japan time.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

They could come out on midnight tonight for TA... hopefully they do!

If not I would say on Wednesday But who knows...

[Aderianu]

we passed noon... ~6 hours until midnight ^^ but it also maybe be on Wednesday or Friday
waiting is killing me x_x

Pretty sure...

Umm to me, Duty was much warmer than LOVEppears. Except for, perhaps, Far away and End of the World. As for me, LOVEppears has a unique atmosphere, not repeated in any of her albums. I always associate this album with a total deaspair. And actually I do really love this atmosphere, but I'm not really sad that it is only in LOVEppears because I like difference.

I think you're mostly right.

I found out about her somewhere after the Mirrorcle World release, but actually became a fan when she released Days/GREEN single. But back then, I just downloaded her random songs throughout the discography. I think it was mostly from Secret and Rainbow albums. If I was around when LOVEppears was released, I think I would have got used to this album by now.

To be slightly more on topic:

I love her pink hair/wig

Thanks!!

I love the strawberry hair, (they are not really pink, I will be defending the color names XD) but I don't like the green lenses (looks like photoshop, so not natural) She looks best with her own eye color :<

Oh covers, sth, leak out already, it's 27.02, album is in 23 days ><

And I love LOVEppears, maybe not the every single song of it, but there are some gems on it... (Who, end roll, monochrome, too late, PS II...) When I was lurking for Ayu on KaZZa, 50% of my mp3 was from LOVEppears XD (Boys&Girls, Trauma, immature, Fly high... my very best begin with Ayu :3)
