tbh these covers are far from her worst; but i'd rather have her a bit more dressed up. party queens dont need to be in their undies. but at the same time, why not? |

That would mean they didn't have any photoshoot left for the book and she had to make other ones before the release. Maybe the recent ones with the pink wig are for the Life style book ? Also it would explain why she's releasing a photobook of "Party Queen", because she'd have the scrapped original photoshoot (from November) not used in the covers / booklet.

well, at least you can tell that some lines on her face as well as the shape of the muscle on her arm are softened.

She has done slipcases before, so I don't think that it can be ruled out just yet.
When I was talking 'real' covers, I meant that the cover underneath when you actually take the album out might be different. I think she just wanted to take it to the extreme for some reason. Maybe it wouldn't be obvious enough? Quote:
The recent shots in the pink wig appear to have been taken by Leslie during a video shoot (Masashi Muto was present) so that is either for the tour or an upcoming release. And the Party Queen photobook is said to be never before seen shots from the album's shoot, which implies that we will probably get shots from that shoot in the album as well, otherwise there's no reason for it to be tied into Party Queen. We don't know if anything is scrapped until we actually have the album and look through the booklet/whatever else so I don't know if it's the best time to assume that whatever she did in London was trashed.

And sometimes, the final product must be ugly in order to convey the intented idea, like (miss)monkeysmile cover for example... It's not pretty, but conveys perfectly both the lyrical themes of the album and the music aesthetics she took inspiration from^^ |

Defending these as "parodies of magazine/tabloids" is ridiculous. Koda has been doing faux magazine covers for the past two calanders of her and they turned out fan-effing-tastic. Regardless of the idea behind them, the photos are amateur and cluttery. It's not the idea behind them that I am upset about, it's the photos themselves that they chose to use. They are just so terrible (except CD only) and the design behind them.

hey, that's not so bad. at least they didn't edit her jaw like they used to in her shimoko shoots.

About the concept... Really, the sarcastic feeling of the cover is really easy to notice after taking a quick look on the setlist. The damn album starts with a person being a party queen and ends with someone saying that they don't know how beautiful they are. It's kinda obvious...

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.
