I get it...her hands tied is a metaphor for the social standards and expectations of a Japanese made women.

That image is powerful o_o




Also I honestly thought this album was being released in July?! Lol
How is she getting 2 videos done?! Unless they've been done??? I'd imagine the CDs need to go into production soon???

Free Ayu for TA
Bound Ayu for the general public

Perhaps this is a commentary on how she feels about the two.

The bound ayu rocks (in those pics). Not a fan of TA covers. Too plain.

I thought of exactly the same thing, I think it's nice that she's showing her fans that she's comfortable and feels free with them. Would have been kinda weird to have her bound in the fanclub covers too IMO

The general fans are trash or what? Why with TA fans she is free? Because they pay? xD I don't see the point because I'm not in TA and I love her too xD
Anyway I don't think TA covers are meanigful, they choose two random pics and nothing more xD

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I think Ayu has stated many times that all Ayu fans are included in the Team Ayu brand
I don't think she measures a fandom based on if they're a paying member or not

But the general public is far more critical and harsh with her since she's peaked.

I don't think its a coincidence that she just happened to use unbound pics for TA.
Had it been the other way around, it'd be a completely different message.
