These photos aren't that great. I'd rather have photos of Ayu herself looking hot than her wearing some awkward clothing that makes her look uncomfortable and disproportionate.

no one else seems to care to bring it up I think it just has more to do with the fact that ayu is just a crappy model.

At the same time, I'm fairly certain that they had a concept in mind with these poses, and she was trying to be very, static and majestic.

I personally prefer more natural posing and expressions, but. Can't have it all


I have a somewhat hard time trying to figure out why they've decided to portray her this way though for this album~ She's very intimate in some pictures, and then very imposing and distant in others. And the contrast between the primary colors and the grayscale is nice I think.

COVERS WHY U NOT LIKE THE BOOKLET

I never understood why they use such basic and boring cover photo when they have so many fierce pictures for the booklet! I do believe a great cover photo can help your sales.

she is so skinny though >______<;

billboards!!

Didn't see one yet, but I'm glad to know there's finally promotion on the street

I'm not gonna look at the booklet pictures, the release date is so close I'm gonna wait my copy.

I just realized... on the Fanclub versions of the album's cover, Ayu's ears are folded and it bugs me a lot x_x

To be honest I don't like the visual polution caused by those billboards. They should just put it on places like Shibuya crossing and not on these traditional japanese buildings. Here in Brazil we have some rules regarding the visual polution.

Anyway, better quality shots of the booklet

In japan it's everywhere, if it wasn't Ayu's picture there, it would be any other promotional picture anyway...

Realistically, probably about $70 + half a kidney + your first born
