Haha, looks so sweet... Ayu is an attention seeking b**** lol

Yea, it's really ironic when she tries to keep her relationship on low profile, yet her album cover is she and maro.. Which is attracting so much attention...

covers are very pretty and romantic, not at all winterish, lol, I still hope for good old cry winter Ayu ballad thing to happen, soon, I hope :)

the lighting is really good too. natural and pretty. happy with Ayu covers again :D

I LOVE THEM!!

Just seen this after reading the blog post and oh God. They look okay (though given my situation when seeing them I think I couldn't afford an objective assessment). I'm not a fan of her hair there (looks too similar to A SUMMER BEST hair and Lord knows how much I hate it). And Maro's there. Um. Yeah speechless and bug-eyed here. Bye world.

Sweet!!!
CD only version always get better cover..

I would not use ANYONE in first place.


I'm pretty tired of LOVE-theme, because Ayu is one this artists, I look forward to listen in that deep statement (not just for enterteiment.) I read lyrics, I think about her song meanings. And it's pretty hard for me to be happy with her lovey-dovey life right now, when your boyfriend broke up with you after 6 years XDDDDDDDD I'm not moaning right now (yes, I AM jelous! XD), but her music was just not-about-love back then, and I'm missing it. It's "I love you so much" or "I miss you so much" mostly. Even Song 4 u is STILL A SONG FOR SOMEONE CLOSE etc. I'm not a fan of love-showing. I hate when my friends shows off "how happy they are" even back then when I was in happy relationship. I think it should be in their personal space.

I don't see the big deal about covers you make guys :shrug.
Maybe they took advantage on gossip magazines. You know, You&Me PV where she's kissing Maro and now this cover.. everyone would be suspicious they're in love for real LOL. Better say the truth before magazines will do.
Call me naive, but I wouldn't scream market strategy so soon.

Both covers looks really cute though, still prefer LOVE ones but they're not so bad.

Loving these covers! It's nice to see someone else in the picture for a change. Reminds me of one of Koda Kumi's covers.

this cover remember me LOVE destiny... very beautiful and different from the other covers from 2012

Lovely covers, I really like them <3

ayu can't help but put her private life in her work, that's how she is :)

She continues to look more natural I like it.

I wake up and see 269 posts?
Something MUST have happened.
Time to view the covers~~

What sweet covers...
CD DVD it is.

i really really like the CD only cover...
the CD+DVD... is nice... truing away to look at us...

I think over time I will come to REALLY like these covers...

I don't like the fact these cover will make speak about them otherwise they are pretty !

Hm, not a big fan of those covers, don't like them.
And Maro and Ayu are together? Really??
Hm, leaves a weird feeling for me. :(

I'm trying to look at it from another point. May be now ayu treats her music very very personal and thinks like "this is my album, these are my songs, this is my life and I want to have a cover with my dear man and me, this is how I am, take it or leave it". May be now she doesn't understand where "ayumi hamasaki" ends and ayu begins. She used to divide them well in 00s.

these photos look really nice. but tbh I'd love them more if she were alone. not sure if her male Japanese fandom will like it, but she doesn't seem to have big male fandom so I guess it's OK :laugh

and I'm also not sure if it's appropriate to have covers like this in winter. but since she was filming some PVs in Hawaii, I guess we'll have a summer hit in winter :laugh

Totally agree with Koumori..

Guess this cover is something totally new compare to her previous covers ^^ love it even thou its maro =x

*how i wish they could swap the covers. i actually prefers the CD's cover but yet im only buying her CD+DVD T.T nooo.....

These covers leave me totally disappointed. Wtf Ayu...

Agree!

yep :yes :yes
