so this proves that Ayu is right on the money.

Because tastes differ and some people prefer something that they like to look at and that looks pretty on their shelves to something with meaning. In fact, even a lot of Western fans don't care about the meaning and concept if the cover doesn't look pretty (Party queen). Besides, not everyone agrees that these covers have a meaning, some people think it's just a pic with a rope, so yeah. That's why everyone's opinion is different

I think she looks super pretty in the PQ shots! (again, taste differs)

PQ covers are not the definition of something pretty to put on my shelf xD

I quite like it when she toes the line between trashy and pretty, because that's kind of what her music is like nowadays. It demonstrates a certain level of self awareness that feels intelligent, in control, and empowered to me. But I definitely understand why many people dislike it. It's not my favourite cover, but there was, for me, at least an idea behind the shoot that was coherent to the album theme.
