very underwhelming covers yet again, but whatever.
she looks like she's trying WAY too hard. (also, I didn't recognise her..)

no cover will be as embarrassing as party queen covers.
the photos of sixxxxxx are just tired.

I like them bcause they dont look like Hamasaki covers. It does have Kumi or Korean Pop sth. With american touch of it. She looks a lot like BoA, she doesn't look like her.

I just like them... because they are not "pretty peppy ayu in white sheets with pink light or peach sunset". They are very unexpected. Thats why I like them.

Those covers could have been really good if the angle/focus was a bit different and above all if she wasn't doing this stupid facial expression again.
At some point I thought it would never return. Too bad, because it is ruining the whole thing for me.

I could have really enjoyed them. I really like its """""concept""""" : /. It's kinda refreshing for a summer album.

I'm getting the one I'm enjoying the less (BD one). The DVD one is quite fine.

I can't help imagining them without those horrendous expressions. They could have been really good... Damn you ayu and your awkward tastes.

Also like the font (man they are really improving on that part).

The concept of the shoot is pretty obvious. Número Tokyo is doing a spread with Ayu that has her in natural makeup and simple/feminine outfits, and this is part of it. They mention seeing "the real face of Ayumi Hamasaki" and the spread is even titled something like "All of Ayumi Hamasaki". To link to the teaser image again...



I will say that it seems like she's done this sort of shoot at least once a year, but this one is the most natural of all of them.

The CD+DVD one is the best
Funny how recently I was wondering why does she have her hand by her face on almost every cover and now *BAM!* another one...

But the title placement on these covers is the worst (except for the CD+DVD one). Usually I don't have any problems with that (even when she uses the same font on 90% of her covers) but this time... just no.

I show to my sister ( who knows mi love for Ayu) without telling nothing about it and she told me "who is she?" so Then I said it was Ayumi and was the new mini album covers, then she told me "she doesn't look lIke her and "what a boring cover, looks like a shoot from a magazine" that said I thought it is just a matter of taste, Im not a fan of duck selfie photos and I was hopping for a summer cover with vibrant colors or something. Nevertheless, It looks nice, like the loveAppears booklet.

About the "hipersexuality" lol people she is a human, not virgen, she is sexy (my heterosexuals friends always say when they see my posters of her that they would f... Her Hard) and is not like she is Nicky minaj in Anaconda cover... She is just showing she is fierce, she is Ayumi looking younger everyday

I think a less glossy lip and a different angle would've been a bit better.

Also...ayu can look how she wants. Even if women with sexualized images in the entertainment industry show something about male influence, it is still not wrong for a woman to choose to show herself in sexy way. If someone objectifies her because of that, that is the fault of the person doing the objectifying. Ayu has no responsibility to go around being conservative all of the time to avoid being objectified. That is just living your life around what men think. The point is being able to do what she wants regardless.

^I, and this is my opinion, don't think the Koda one is sexy... And not because some "Koda can't be sexy" shit, but because it really doesn't seen what they were trying to do.

Now, this is pretty much only based on the interpretation of the expression both of them have on their respective covers... The thing is both look similar, but both aren't really anything special as far as creativity goes, and there are tons of other similar covers out there.

@Andrenekoi I don't think SEOHYUN is saying that she invented this pose tho.

And that cover from Kumi isn't trying to be sexy, maybe a submissive woman (as the song was about a woman saying to a man that she loves him no matter what, and how obsessive she is about him).

I agree, Kumi's covers are aiming for something different: vulnerable or even desolate. Ayu's are more sultry. Interesting. Now that we're comparing the covers, I kind of like ayu's a bit more for the simple fact that her photoshoot looks a bit more "raw" (lacking the word right now), there's a bit of a grain. Although Kumi's appearance seems just as disheveled there's a more polished look to the overall picture. But that's just me.

I think Kuu looks weird when she's with her mouth close, she doesn't even look like herself, and I think even she feels that way, since she poses with her mouth almost all the time.

This is a good example:

Anyway, this is an Ayu topic. haha
Yeah! I agree. I have no issue with Kuu's fish lips just like I have no problem with ayu's. I just think it's odd that ayu's is such an issue in the fandom. I think she pulls it off pretty well. If you guys wanna see some jacked up fish lips, you should see mine! Lol

Koda well executed, ayu .... Need a hairbrush, and the CD only is the worst photo I see of her.
But I feel very good that on this occasion set aside the perfect cover to make way for the abstract covers

You guys have Internet connection right? You can find the same mouth from like 15 years ago.

And Ayu's been overtly sexy for a very long time. If anything the fact that she's a grown women means being sexy is far more appropriate. And there's a very big difference between feeling like she needs to be sexy, being told by her company to be sexy, and feeling comfortable with her self that she wants to be sexy.


Can we talk about how similar the Sixxxxxx covers are to this picture?!

You must not have seen very many photos of Ayu.

I wonder if Ayu was influenced by the teaser image that AyuAngel made, since she uses it as her Twitter banner and the actual CD looks like it has almost the same font.



I really hope that's not the case...

"Oh Ayu, why so much photoshop?"
"Eeeew, there's no airbrush!"

Ok...
