If you squint at the covers, you'll see Koda Kumi.

Really? HAHAHAHA....what will koda-kun say when she say the cover? HEHEHEHE

[xLuna&1LOVE]

The cover of scawaii is indeed a bit weird because of her facial expression, but overall... it's not awful. I really like Ayu's new style - or appearance -

^you are missing the point.
FAMOUS people, whether musicians (AYU), actresses, or "party queens", are always surrounded by people because they are famous and popular. whether it's friends or fans. on the outside it looks like everything is wonderful and they're happy, but they're actually really lonely and sad.

i think that's what Ayu means by the meaning will become clear after the album is released. i'm sure the photobook and music will tell us alot more.

well obvioulsly she thinks that fans are psychic or something cuzonly after she explained, i understood, however i see no CLEAR hint in either the title or the covers. I do get the "party queen" = "popular,famous" relation....makes me think it's like Britney's "Lucky" lol

I'm so disappointed with these covers, especially the CD+3DVD one. The others are nice, especially her smile.

I think that they could have done SO MUCH with the concept "Party Queen" (even thought I hate the name of the album!), but they decided to go for cheap.

Okay, their decision, but the woman on these covers is not the Ayu I love!

my thoughts exactly? i hate how everyone's like "stop being a hater love these covers" but honestly... opinions aside, anyone who can tell me that these are not her least creative covers and mean it will surprise me LOL

they basically didn't have a photoshoot for the covers...

Yes, I also hate how everybody in this thread is treating people, who don't go like: "WAAAAHHHH~~ awesome covers" like a hater! (but hasn't it always been like this on AHS?).

I have been a fan of Ayu since nine years and I always loved what see did (I even thought that "FIVE" was an okay-album, even though I was very disappointed with the lyrics of the songs and the PVs!), but since some time I just don't feel Ayu anymore.


I'm NOT a hater! I LOVE Ayu, but I don't have to be okay with everything she does and I don't see anything wrong with voicing my opinion.

on my phone so idk if anyone replied yet, but I think she has far less creative covers than this. The covers for most of her recent singles are just her sitting or standing in froń of a solid color background looking cute or pretty, which IMO falls a little bit below these in the creative department. That doesn't mean they're good covers though lol.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost forgot about him xD

Fingers crossed for a last minute cover change - I didn't buy Super Manuel so I can't say I'd like Ayu's version of the poses on my Ayu shelf...

Exactly what i feel =|
I am Speechless ..
She is way higher than this
I really love Ayu .. But
I will pretend that i didnt saw the "CD+2DVD first press" cover so i will keep seeing her my ideal
by the way the rest of the covers are very nice

First reaction to those covers: holy crap

I like them, although the execution could have probably been a bit better. I certainly don't get the "sad famous person" vibe the photographer was aiming for, if that's what the goal was. Just looks like what timmy said - Ayu bent over in her panties like a dog. Don't think anyone is going to be able to look past that to get the cryptic underlying meaning which isn't plain to see.

These are shock-factor images - no doubt they will work.

CD+2DVD cover is so porn! I don't like it

[ALfromHELLSING]

I doubt that I will get an answer here 'cause of the craziness over the covers, but I'll try to ask will CD+2DVD version have "special case, transparent sleeved special DVD package" in that special box, basically will be first press? THANKS

Special box? The first press of the CD+DVD+DVD version is the "special case, transparent sleeved special DVD package". ^^
