'Secret' Cover peek

I see most of you like it guys
I like the tattoo pic
but don't get me wrong I don't like it on ayu...ahhaha
even I love the black/white/marroon themes
but i just don't want ayu to have a tattoo
just a nice ayu will be better...IMO

future guess : ayu will be sitting on a 'flying' pegasus (unicorn) and sing Secret at AT07 LOL

I hope the cover will be greyish~~ or so but I'm not so fond about the tattoo..

Well, I'm sure I'll love it anyway.

I like it, it's different. I don't see why people should be concerned about Ayu having a fake tattoo for a photoshoot, it's not the first time she's done this, and hey, it's only temporary Ayu has different styles, sometimes she's 'nice' and sometimes she's not. Would be a bit boring if anyone stayed the same all the time

Whats with people wanting ayu to be "nice" and preppy? She's reaching her 30's, give her a break and let her grow up! If you want typical girl pop, check out Morning Musume. -_-

It had a lot of dark themes in the album though, so I liked how the cover was "misleading" Although I still think they should have done better with the actual photoshoot.

I like the unicorn. It's not very well drawn IMO (It's kind of ugly), but it symbolizes a lot of strength and power, if you look at how muscular it is and it's position (It's almost galloping or leaping into the air) it fits well. I think instead of focusing on ayu's looks or body you'll see her strength through the cover AND the songs.

Well, I personally loved the cover. I agree with others, it's nothing but paint for a photoshoot that can wash right off.

Aside that, I was happy to see Ayu doing something different from her recent works. That photo was nothing, absolutely nothing I expected to see. This new photo brought upon wishful thinking. Creativity of crea coming back?

I'm hoping there will be more of this different-ness and new-ness from Ayu I think this is exactly what she needs to boost her sales.

I don't mind the idea of the tattoo, but I hate the tattoo itself. Unicorns are horrible, and it's drawn very poorly. I do like the color scheme very much, though. It feels very mature and classy, but dark and sexy. I just hope the unicorn isn't actually on the cover.

Well at least I can say it's a surprise. I just find the tattoo's illustration to be a little lackluster and almost too childish looking compared to the black and white used (possibly in contrast with red title text if that is what they do). Still, it's starting to grow on me more by the minute.

I think it's cool! The tattoo isn't the best, but I really like color scheme.

Someone should've taken the tattoo design to Miami Ink They would've know what to do with it!

Anyways, The color scheme is very interesting. We usually dont get that from ayu so it's a breath of fresh air. so far everything is turning A okay for Secret IMO so I'm really really excited.

Well, she'll definitely go back to the cutesy pop at one moment or another, she's ever changing.

Lets get this straight before future discussion, the "unicorn" got wings, it's a pegasus. Pegasus.

I don't see anything wrong with the tattoo. I think it's creative.

Wait a sec. I think I learned about this in Latin class... isn't Pegasus just the name of a mythological unicorn with wings, but not the actually name of every single one of them since there were others as well and anyone could have named them whatever they wanted to?
