It's not the best cover, didn't seem any way artistic until I read the whole thread. Looks like there is a reason for it. The way everyone talks of the diary, and the way the cover looks reminds me of the scene from Grease where the girls have a sleepover, and some of them are dressed like that...

Why's eveyone think this cover is selling sex? She's NAKED on two covers and nearly naked on I am... as well! And that leopard outfit for Duty...if My Story is sex then how is Duty not sex as well? I mean...LOOK at the Duty cover, she look so provocative, with a POLE or CAGE like a STRIPPER.

I mean, I'm playing the devil's advocate here I guess...but I just don't think this cover is selling sex or anything. She actually has her clothes ON this time! It's definitely different, but if you look at all her album covers...they're all extremely different from eachother.

Sometimes I think people just instantly say anything new is "bad."

As for myself, I really don't like the covers for A song for xx, Loveppears, or Duty...but maybe I am the only one?

I must admit that the cover looks much better in the big version, but I still don't like it as much as most of her past ones.

Thanks for sharing!

Amen to that, I agree. It's almost always like this. Half year before the release everyone is excited and loves ayu.
Suddenly when the day comes ppl are turning there back, ppl expect to much. I mean come on? Can you do a better cover? I dont think so, you "maybe" are looking better than Ayu? Nah!

If you dislike it, dont make a big thing of it or you wont buy it because of the cover. That is the most worthless reason not to buy it. You buy her cd's because of her songs and her music not because of her outside? If you guys dislike it so much why dont you try to make a good cover that at least everyone here in AHS will like it...pls try it! If you like to complain do it on the newspaper and send some insiders or something.

LOL and ppl are claiming that ayu sell sex with her covers? LOL that wouldnt suprise me, because she can have sex whenever she wants because of her look. But have some of you have sex? *cough cough*

I buy her cd's because the main reason is the music and her looking is a +

Sometimes I think people just instantly say anything new is "bad."

I know!!! Sometimes I fell I'm too old and maybe I guess I learned another definition of what the word "sex" means. I mean, good god, ayu just puts a bright pink lipstick and for people it is already a XXX, ****tish cover. Just because her shoulders are visible: "Oh god she's a ***** stripping to the cameras, ayu has really changed so much1111111111". It just reminds of the things mentioned to the INSPIRE PV "the most hardcore piece of porn movie people must have ever seem", basically just because it shows ayu almost in a space suit in the desert and the beach while the guys are shirtless. For those who thinks such things are really immoral please never go to a tropical hot country or you might have a panic attack when walking in the streets during the morning, specially if you go to a beach .

And the "ayu has changed, anything new is automatically bad, I am.. is the only best ayu album, she's turning into JPOP (I wonder what cathegory has ayu always been put into btw?)" is getting old

wow, 7 pages of heated discussion... I'm glad someone firgured out the key/diary/my story symbolism... but have you figured out the pose... It's vunerable (in a sexy way) Vunerability about having someone look into your diary/life... plus Ayu has been noted at cute and innocent for so long... ALOT of artists hate that image as they get older... Ayu could be doing ALOT more crazy things to try and get people to see she's not a little girl anymore...

I think the cover is inciteful and artistic... Ayu isn't looking her best in my opinion... that could have been done better, but maybe everything ayu sees means something to her... and you don't always want your fans to know everything you silently put into you creations... somethings are for only you to know...

I am VERY looking foward to this release! After hearing 30 second previews of About You I can't wait. Ayu has been working all year so I know it will be good... whether it sounds pleasing to everyone else I don't know... But I KNOW I'm going to like it
