He he. Avex is trying to pull a fast one on us. They have smart marketing strategies to quadruple there profits from Ayu cd collectors. Japanese businessmen are so smart these days.they make great tacticians.(WOaah Earthquake!!! @ 2:58am)

Yet isn't Avex's marketing strategy a bit "old?" I mean, it's kinda silly to see people go head over heels to spend so much money on the same CD just to get different covers. I'd be satisfied with the CD itself instead of deciding on which cover to buy.

WOWIE! they're purdious! I like the hug one sooo much!
And you're right, even though I love ayu much, I wouldn't spend so much money just getting a different cover for the same cd...
I wonder how many people are going to buy them all...

Now that I think about the covers (including the kissing one. I think they can represent a number of things.
Here it is in the order from what I THINK is most likely to what I THINK isn't.
1) represent's the two sides of ayu... a=innocent/true self
b=its either mature/sexy or as in ayu's words, "ayu the product"
2) She could be showing the theme "love," but could not use another person. Sure there was a guy in the HANABI single covers, but did it ever show his face? Maybe it has something to do with that. She is with ????(I forgot his name but I think it's something like nanase or nagase or something)
so she want's to show love in her album cover.
3)Some sort of yin yang peace and harmony stuff ....
oooooh!!!! About the kissing thing again! I just had a thought! Maybe she sleeps with her mouth parted or a little open or something?
