More than that, I doubt she was trying to go for a glam fashion magazine shoot with these like she did for GUILTY's photobook.

"Being completely exposed" seems to be part of her concept for what we see on the cover. Though I agree that she probably could have posed in a different way. She could have done a shoot like AYU NAKED TALK and people would be raving!

I really hope there's gonna be a slipcase, and under them different covers with her in tears, a lot darker.
If that's the case I would love them. It would also explain why she's saying she looks sad and lonely in them, and also the "you'll see why when you get them" tweet.

It does seem that way right now... Love songs' were not announced and it doesn't look like this one's is either if it does indeed have a slipcase.

yeah.. i can't see how anyone can deny these are supposed to be like magazine covers. it's kind of obvious.

^^Wow toniayu you are really not seeing the covers until March 21. I admire you!

I think she likes to act very sophisticated but she needs to be careful with that. Not everybody could discover a very sad party queen in this photoshoot. Not everybody thinks twice when they see an album-cover. Maybe it's just me, but I don't like it when an hidden meaning is actually not able to be found / solved. It was amazing what has been found in de FIVE font for example, and that we are still trying to discover the identity of the lady on the portrait in HBYA, but there is only a small amount of people who actually see those coincidences. I feel kind of fooled by her. Especially this time.

This is unrelated somewhat, but I remember reading people mentioning that she has never been referred to as a "party queen" before. Does anyone else recall that rumor/tabloid that she was having hotel parties and part of some kind of drug ring with her close female friend? And also the rumor that she was having sex parties with gay men / at gay clubs? Lol.

The album begins with "Party queen" and ends with "How beautiful you are"... The concept is not hidden at all.

I do think that when we have the album in our hands, we will get it. The 'hidden meaning' may not be so hidden. This probably isn't the best idea though for casual listeners though since they may stray away from it because the cover frightened them off.

I feel as though a lot of people just were not expecting this at all which is understandable. She went to London and did all of the work for the album there so why is she using a set of photos she took in New York?

Does anyone else recall that rumor/tabloid that she was having hotel parties and part of some kind of drug ring with her close female friend? And also the rumor that she was having sex parties with gay men / at gay clubs? Lol.

That rumor was because her friend was a part of a drug ring, and since Ayu was friends with her... that somehow made her attached to the drugs as well? I was thinking more like when she had to be escorted out of a bar because she was too drunk to walk on her own.

ayu tweet;
"ではヨシに従いましてドロン。笑 明日もこの最高に残酷で美しすぎる世界で思い切り生き抜きます。 Love this beautiful n cruel world..."

i'm starting to get worried..

There were also the STD rumours, the abortion rumours, the one that she trashed a hotel room in taiwan during AT07, the one about her entering a bath tube with a younger man last year (people assumed it was Juno, or Naoya or Juno's brother I forgot the name), all of her gaijin boyfriends rumours...

And the list goes on...

that would be so great! i would love if under the slipcover we got a similar cover but super dark. omg yes yes yes!

but i doubt it will happen.

I'm getting worried for Ayu. Looks like she's going to bed since it's 3am where she is but I hope she's okay.
