Opinions on Party Queen covers?

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Oh how did I not see these kuu comparisons coming?

I love the covers, specially the ones that weren't revealed before (CD+DVD was seen before so)


J-pop has such low standards and most of it is crappy and awful. Their covers are usually boring and tasteless. But you all seem to cheer for them. Cheer for these random and meh sounding tunes, super simple covers, and what not. But when it comes to ayu, you always feel so damn disappointed. I don't even.

They are horrible. The whole leapord print... the "13th album" sticker thing, the barcode, everything... I know she was going for a tabloid themed thing but that doesn't make it any less tacky looking.

I was really hoping she'd go for the "HBIC sitting on her throne wearing a crown" look ala Koda's "Kingdom" and Gwen Stefani "L.A.M.B".

But... It's just a cover, let's hope the remaining songs are good atleast. Oh well.

[spanishfan]

Love them <3

[sugarbasil]

Yeah, we're done with the Koda Kumi comparisons now. Not even one more post about it.

OMG it's like someone really understands me here, on AHS?

I have noticed she's not 'my old Ayu anymore' veeery long time ago

don't you ever dare to touch my favourite Ayu first best-sold album!

I applaud!

imho, they are horrible. I can see no hidden concept, neither in covers nor in song titles, guys, a song NaNaNa for example can't really have any deep meaning behind it, lol, like really?

she killed me with her new lips, then with FIVE, then with latest ViVi, now with this
as a long-time fan there are no words to describe my sincere dissapointment and much frustration

as for isthisLOL? don't take it srsly, guys. I have learned his arguments by heart! "you've been ignoring my post", "you have no logic", "you're stupid", "you're an idiot", "I'm telling you facts" etc...

[kaled kalil]

I used to love Ayu's sexy style (like Secret CD Only / Startin') because she still very classy, but doggy-style is way too much for me. Even that have a concept behind everything, it's a little trashy.

[panda♥]

she's doing something she's never done before, and she's happy with it.
that's all that matters. i like them.

[letter]

Oh God. What's next? A playboy cover to show that she's still "got it" at the age of 35? They look like the kind of covers a DJ would have on albums, not to mention the font and the "13th album" stamp. Her face is about the only thing I like about them.

[jbrat2219]

I like the covers. I don't see anything wrong with them.

[Ayu-roBeat 13]

Yeah, a lot of people already summed up how tacky these covers are...I mean if that's her choice and it's what she really wanted for these covers then whatever, that's her choice. Still not gonna change my opinion about how horrid they look. After seeing the wonderfully lovely pink-hair pics, I expected something similar, but she went the other way. Kinda worried people might get the wrong idea about her if this is the first album they look at of hers.

Still looking forward to the album itself! But the covers: DO NOT WANT. D:

[Kouyou]

There are a few good things to consider. She didn't do "duck lips", she's not wearing those blue contacts, and she's not poorly photoshopped.

I didn't think about that before your post. Oh, jeez, I hope this isn't anyone's first look at Ayu. They will definitely get the wrong idea.

[spanishfan]

I think they could be better with long dark hair like startin'/sparkle PV, much more better. Or maybe not, I don't know lol

[alternarist]

even MY STORY covers look better with the back drop. this is just ayu in a doggie style position, tooching her booty. and the colours and fonts of the words. just look like a trashy magazine. and whats up with the huge logo that says "13th album"?

[Snowfox]

I love them and all the possible meanings one could extract via analyzing. My favorite is the one where's hugging the shoe.

[JackieRos]

Is the same 5 people who are saying how horrendous the covers are and
with each post are saying the same exact thing. We get it move on.

These are the covers whether you like them or not.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I think she still looks classy in them after all

[panda♥]

i find it hilarious how people are so up in arms about this.
Ayu is sexy, let her show off her "Party Queen" side for once.

Considering her market consists mainly of Asia where she is already massivelly known...

[YuriChan]

I'll quote myself from facebook..

I seriously love the covers! ♥ It's showing that ayu is a very risque, but yet sophisticated artist.
