ja~ honestly, the only thing I don't like about the covers is that they're sooo lazy to me.

Like, I wanted something pretty and wintery!

But I guess these are simple and whatever. I also think that, having Maro in some winter themed concept cover would probably look really awkward. The natural tone to these lets him be there, and lets it not be so weird.

but blah I hate her hair like this :irked I thought it was gone forever after the summer :laugh

I don't really like them. They're nice and maybe I'm being a pessimist but if the relationship doesn't work out, these pictures will be out there forever..

It's clear for us who actually recognize her dancers by their hairstyle... Most people over here could love Ayu the same amount they do and wouldn't have noticed it's Maro if they weren't members of the forum.

I imagine other people who haven't even heard of AHS have probably twigged it's Maro in the covers. Including the Japanese media.

I think if they really wanted to flaunt it, they would of done it on both covers..
and the covers where you can kinda see his face, text wouldnt be over it.

The japanese media, mainly the part interested on it, pretty much... People who don't care/notice her dancers I really doubt... And a lot of people over here only recognize a lot of details of her career because they are actually constantly brought into discussion over here. If it was Shu-ya and his blond mohawk, I could see some people who watched her videos noticing him, considering his looks are not as usual... But Maro's style is pretty common.

My opinion: I like it. That's all.
It's sweet, very nice~

Que manía de rayarse así. Solo los fans de Ayu son tan rebuscados, mijitas y criticones hasta dar ganas de cagar. I said.

This same hair style again...? (I LOLed to myself a little about the pun.)

And I can see it now:

I don't know what to think about this anymore. :|

You&Me Missing again
(soo that's the message xd).My fav is CD+DVD ^^

I wonder what would happen if her next mini-album cover will be with her, Maro and a baby.

AHS would explode :laugh.

^ that would be epic.

But they could photoshop Mannies head on the baby.

ugh really?!

I feel this is like having a tattoo of an ex name on your body.
I wonder how will she feel when they break up and remembers this cover.


These covers make me feel more negative ugh.

^ I dont think she will care..
Look at Love Songs.

look at all the songs she wrote about her first boyfriend over...

if it bothered her she wouldnt do it again
hehe... i wonder how long this will work..

but, LOL, it's not even my cup of tea.

a bit difference from offcial site

So ayu make the you&me video, the missing video, and the covers for again the same week or the same day sooo that's what it is, and I prefer other type of cover but I accept this.

Some people really need to chill out.
IT'S A DAMN COVER! You don't even see his face!
I also don't really like the heavy mix between professional/personal life but as other people said it's not something new. Ok, it's more and more recurrent but still. If it's hard for her to separate both, what can you do?
I'm a bit fed up about reading something on her love life on every post, yet it's also because of her obsessive fans who bring this topic up on and on.

As regards the covers, I always wanted something like this. Natural, like an old photo with desaturated colours. Something summery. So I'm very happy. Still, her hair looks like a pony tail (a real one) and the composition of the image is not very good. I also don't like her expression on the CD+DVD version.
Overall, seeing a man next to her is a nice change. She is not showing his face and I like that. Like on H covers. It's kinda subtle.

Did she fire her old design team or something (I would after that A-Summer mess)? I guess not though since the fonts are still....=/

Anyway, she's looking great these days.

Wow you all seriously need to CALM DOWN. They're just covers for a glorified maxi-single :/ And Ayu was already lovey dovey with Maro in the You & Me PV and it was hinted that there would be a continuation. Why is it such a big deal that they're actually dating??? The covers are beautiful and Ayu looks truly happy in them. Also, Ayu's written about more than just ~*love*~ the past 2 years LOL... It's also been a theme she's been using since ASFXX?????? Seriously CHILL OUT PLEASE... Let Ayu be happy (:

And yeah, I thought of these covers too lmao. I bet these were scandalous too, because the guy is ~*shirtlesS UH-OH*~

^Ah the H covers!! thats the hot, playful concept with a guy, why isnt anyone complaining? seriously, not making sense

So if ayu used a random male model...you guys would then say she hasnt mixed private and career?? o gosh.... she can do the same person with ANYONE in the world but she chose to use Maro because the feelings are more appropriate. its just a conceptttt...its not as though Maro's face is blatantly on the cover...
