The original idea for I am... was a shoot going through the day of a girl but due to 9/11 Ayu didn't think it was appropriate so changed it to the peace theme. Can't remember where this came from but I remember reading it. Someone correct me if I am wrong! >.<

I don't think the original theme got told... I think...

But I always thought it was ayu-mi-x 4's theme that was supposed to be for I am... for some reason. I think so because they made this special "ayumi hamasaki" logo (like a watermark on the ayu-mi-x covers) and AT2002 was all in that theme later on...

Yeah, I knew that. I was referring to the part about the MY STORY covers being the original idea for the I am... covers. Like MissElin_ I'd always thought it was the ayu-mi-x covers.

This is way off topic anyway. Haha

Also, I NEED to go see this tour. This is why I love Ayu, her raw emotions and songs. I like the sparkle and theatrics, but they'd just be cheap tricks without her charisma and emotion. Like somebody said above (sorry, don't remember who), I don't cry at a ballad because of Shu-ya and Ayu's love, or because of Ayu's acting faces, I cry at the ones where she stands there and portrays these emotions with just her music.

Wasn't it in the Time Asia interview in something like 2002? I'm pretty sure it's mentioned somewhere in the interview here: http://www.time.com/time/asia/features/ayumi_hamasaki/

I had a completely different idea for the cover at first. We'd already reserved the space, decided the hair and makeup and everything. But after the incident, as is typical of me, I suddenly changed my mind. I knew it wasn't the time for gaudiness, for elaborate sets and costumes. It sounds odd coming from me, but I realize what I say and how I look has a great impact.

She doesn't mention what was her original idea.
