And now we have again with Maro on it, but you can't really tell it's him which was probably the point.
Ah, indeed.. Though I remember the white version of H only has Ayu by herself sitting on a motorbike. Thank you for your answers Exodus and happiness.

Off-topic: I just realized that if we also included her covers for singles, DREAM ON, a song is born also feature someone else together with Ayu. I might have forgotten another single though.. Oh well. Fuzzy memory is fuzzy. That or my brain is slowly discarding information about Ayu to make room for other things and people..

I'm sure she'll be able to handle it (working with him constantly despite also dating) though I'm a bit worried because if this doesn't end up working out or if they 'split/stop dating' exactly a year from now when/if she releases an album, people are just going to do exactly what they did when she split with Mannie.

I really don't think it's that big of a deal. I thought it was a bit odd that he was in LA with her (then Hawaii... and now Paris) but now that we know why it makes sense. It's possible that this all started up at some point during HOTEL Love songs which led to You & Me and now some of the material on again.

As a fan, I really don't care too much about who Ayu is with or how often we see it. I get that it's very different from the Ayu of 'before' but maybe until 2010~ or so, we never really had a chance to really see the 'real Ayu'. I mean up until 2008-2010, most fans couldn't have even dreamed of seeing her and now some of them have met her several times and even gotten rather close to her.

Oh~ yeah, I saw his blog entry first and then the TA one so I just assumed.

Also, I HATE how on the CD-only, it looks like everything is gaussian blurred (not just Maro) except for Ayu's face.

Kinda ambiguous, but not.

Yeah, but the way they did it looks crappy.

Also, what's the difference between the "original" covers and the ones on her site?

Foyuki compares two in the first post. I honestly don't see any difference.

It's funny how the reaction of japanese fans on Facebook are exactly the same as on here. Loads of "the timing is suspicious" and "please keep your private life out of your career" but also a lot "you can't help falling in love" and "leave Ayu alone, I will always support her". Ayu fans have more in common around the world than I thought.

I feel both of these emotions. I understand what each of the members have to say here and I weirdly agree with the nay sayers as well as with the people who like it. I think, Ayu has been having "people" phases starting with Mannie in 2010. And this is the Maro phase. Because I always thought he was attractive and I liked him, this phase doesn't rub me off as much as the Timmy phase, but I understand if it does because it IS kind of weird. Now obviously we have accept to have Maro too, when we want to see Ayu. And if they ever break up, I wonder if he will be discarded. It wasn't the smartest move, but then I don't really get what Ayu is thinking, since said Mannie phase started 2 years ago, anymore anyway.
