WoW....
 
:thud

The covers are surprising, I never thought she do a cover like that. After the shock wore off, it's not terrible, just waaay sexier (raunchier) than I expected. It looks fun. I'm getting the CD only and I actually like that cover the most.

Maybe it's a photo reply to Super Manuel?

does the HOTEL Love songs come with the limited editions too ?

In the other thread, there was an hypothesis consistiing of a slipcase around the album, hiding the real covers. But, look at the picture of the boxset :

You can clearly see that on the left of the CD case, there's a caracteristical shadow of an Obi.
Then i'm afraid that there won't be any slipcase, nor any other cover to see :(

luckily i didn't bought the limited edition...it was a good idea to buy the album separately...and i got all of the versions ;)

LeeLeeNeko 29th February 2012 10:44 PM

Then again it doesn't have to be a hidden cover, it might also be the pictures inside the booklet.
I think we should just stop making assumptions for now and wait until we get our copies. :laugh

I'm glad I went for the CD + 2 DVD version rather than CD + DVD as that cover is the only one I don't like. (It's just so boring) And a part of me is kinda loving the trashiness now.

I check CDJapan just now, it stated that ;

" special case, transparent sleeved special DVD package "

maybe, the CDL is the one with the special case, not the album.

ayuspain 29th February 2012 10:53 PM

the covers are amazing! I don't think they're porn related and I'm not gonna hide them! she's OUR queen :) and everything she does it'll be awesome for me :love

AyuBlackwind 29th February 2012 10:57 PM

There's nothing to worry about. I'm sure the booklet will be well done and the covers will make more sense and mean more once we hear the album. Not to mention the fact that you don't really look at the album art all that much when you're listening to her music. Everything will work out in the end. :yes

Amrai-chan 29th February 2012 11:06 PM

With her comments about the covers I wonder if she is lonely?

Kouyou 29th February 2012 11:39 PM

She's wearing a red bracelet (from what I can see) on the album covers. A red bracelet is a symbol of anorexia, worn by people who are "pro-ana" and want other pro-ana people to recognize them. I wonder if she did that on purpose or if it was purely accidental. Not trying to say she has an eating disorder, just saying it might add to the "sad party queen" image she is trying to convey.

this made me laugh.
it's the same bracelet that represents TeamAyu i think? i think it's the same one one that she wears all the time. i could be wrong though.

Tom Punks 29th February 2012 11:45 PM

Yeah, the bracelet has nothing to do with anorexia.

LeeLeeNeko 29th February 2012 11:47 PM

Yeah lol, it's just her TeamAyu bracelet she wears all the time. :laugh

There has been releases (not by Ayu) where there was an obi for the slipcase. Who knows. Even if it was in a slipcase, the "real" cover might just reveal an even trashier Ayu haha

Kinda disappointed with the covers, the only version i like is the cd only version. Hmm lol

I think you're right.





Even if there is a message behind the covers, they are still no fun to look at. Ayu could have conveyed the message, even in a trashy way, that were still fun to look at. I want something visually simulating, even if its "trashy". And the message/parody thing doesn't make them any more fun to look at, either. It justified the trashiness, but that's not the part that bothers me. I don't hate the covers, but I don't love them.
