You know, the CD/DVD cover has grown on me... Ayu looks nice despite having hay hair.

I wish she didnt have the beach hair, but besides that I wanted long hair and man did I get it!!

Hardy Har Har ;)

It's my decision to laugh (get it? me so funny....)

Wake me up, Ivy, with your snowy kiss on my sweet scar.

I think people are just flipping **** not because of Maro being in a relationship with Ayu, but how the reveal was handled. Deli and I were talking about it earlier, and we get the impression Maro wanted to make it public, not Ayu. He was the one who posted a blog about it first after all. If he hadn't, Ayu probably wouldn't have posted anything until the relationship was a bit more serious and people would've just thought she was just doing a continuation of You & Me, or that Maro was just Ayu's "favorite" at the moment, like Shuya. But because Ayu's "weak" - and Deli hated admitting that - she went along with him. Ayu seems like the type to do anything the guy says, too. So now, the relationship is revealed, right before a new album, and the next day we see them shopping in Paris for rings, and now the covers. And instead of it looking cute, it's just looking shady as hell.

And Deli didn't agree with me, but wanna make a bet Ayu didn't develop feelings for Maro until they started filming You & Me? I mean, he's been there for how many years? I honestly think she just loses herself in her work now since her break up with Tomoya and wants it to be reality. Look at her and Mannie.

^That bit about getting lost in her work and wishing for it to become a reality--it would actually be very interesting if it were true.

Bigger covers

God, ayu's hair in the CD/DVD pic looks so crusty to me
I can just snap it right off...
Must be the weave that she's wearing.

What I thought was that they both posted about it because they knew the tabloid was coming out the following day. TA was down for a few hours due to too much traffic shortly after he made a post, so all we knew was that he had a blog entry on ameblo.

i really like these covers!
they grow on me everytime i look at them.

I can always rely on AHS to bring the drama! You guys never let me down.

:popcorn

I like the simpleness of the cover but maro ruins it for me,
Even if he's somewhat blocked.

These covers feel rushed also.
"We been dating for a month, let's put you on the cover."

Maro is cute but idk.

The h covers are amazing btw.

I thought the same thing.

:roflmao

zZzzzZAHSzzZzZZzzZ

LEAVE AYU ALONE. I will make a video. Just wait.

But seriously, I would laugh so hard if in the end, the male model wasn't Maro after all. A lot.

People here said 'omg, when they started to date, it was out of nowhere!11!!1". He was recently in process of divorce, just like Ayumi. Maybe that approached them and... the rest you know.

I admit that the pictures are not my favorite but I like the simplicity. I find cover number 2's photo a bit awkward though.. Perhaps it has something to do with the angle.

Question: Is this this the first-ever CD cover featuring someone together with Ayu in it? I can't recall any of her covers with another person in them so I believe this is a first..

H & Love Destiny

yea the one where ayu, Mannie and a male friend in san fransisco airport meeting fans.. that's real.. no bodyguards no staff at all with her at the time right??

anyway who knows the guy in H Cover is Tomoya Nagase?
and i think Ayu and Tomoya kept their relationship for so long and didn't get tomoya in ayu's works because they are from different companies, u know how strict Jhonny's entertainment's rules, they don't allow their artists to date, so OPENLY.

thanks for sharing the bigger covers, now i love them even more <3
Ayu looks so natural in those covers.

This is the third time she had had another person on a cover.

LOVE ~destiny~ had a man she was hugging on the cover. (first #1 single)
H had her with 3 different covers featuring a topless male model on a motorcycle.
And now we have again with Maro on it, but you can't really tell it's him which was probably the point.

^ Are we really not supposed to know? I wonder...

I wonder if they hadnt even announced it if people would have noticed or would have cared so much.

LOVE ~Destiny~ and H are completely different than again.

We KNOW the guy on again is Ayu's lover. It makes it totally weird. =/

I just feel this relationship is now so in your face for the past few days. Covers, PVs, pictures on twitter, now he's with her greeting fans... I dont really care if she wants to have a relationship with her dancer, if it makes her happy, that's great. But it's just too much to have him dancing with her on stage, doing bed scenes, performing as her boyfriend in PVs, being on the CD covers... especially for japanese fans, where public displays of affection are still very much frowned upon.

I just feel really bad about this. Ahhh. And she looks so so pretty on the covers too. And Im pretty sure her music is going to be really good, since she demonstrated how much she grew as a singer in LOVE... Im so conflicted. I just feel kind of like... sick from the way Maro is in your face. I dont even know how to describe my feeling.

just to let everyone know Sweet scar has been uploaded for us!
