oh my god that is looking extremely ****ty.....

God, please.

LOL WUT

yikes.

is she being an AV actress???

Btw, these pictures were taken like, almost 1 year ago. When she went to NY and subsequently couldn't appear on Music Station.

the covers are very sexy..but i like them *-* i don't adore this pitonato pattern XD
beautiful also the DVD covers **

OMGGGG the first coverrrrrrrrrrr woww..
so the covers are not taken recently with the pink hairrrrrrrr..
LOLs!

Omg what the hell? oO

*waits for forum to implode*

I guess I should have expected something like this from the title of the album but still. Never really expected her to have album covers like this. Even if she has done sexy in the past, for me this is kinda trashy. I expect things a bit more classy from Ayu. Ayu fans: umm yeah, no more claiming the high ground in Koda Kumi discussions. :)

I like the concert DVD covers though.

what happen to the field thing?

And...and the covers in London??
The CD+DVD cover is very old and we already saw it >>

Btw I love the CD and CD+DVD+DVD <333

AYU--

LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.

This is unlikely to turn out being fake, right? Because I'm kind of disappointed

Oh my O____O

WTF?! DDDD:
Worst covers EVER!! DDDD:

OMFG love it!!

Ooooh Myyyy Gooood! Those pictures are soooo old!

Overall, this is BAD. Really really bad! :tired:no:shakehead

The horrendous-ness of the album covers aside, the PoM cover makes me want to vomit. That picture is so BORING. And the text placement is awful.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. D:<

OMG O________O

and why is it leopard stripe AGAIN?

T__________T

someone please tell me it's fanmade.

I'm more offended by the font placement.

I don't mind the pictures at all, 'cause Ayu's hot and shouldn't be ashamed to flaunt it. I'm just wondering how the covers relate to the music on the album... There's only three songs that sound like they're gonna be fun, upbeat tracks...

Of all the things to critique, you chose the leopard print?

...lol

What.. the what? D: these pics are so old! I expected something different lol. They're not so bad but ugh it bothers me that they're rycling pics.

Now waiting for the drama *eat pop-corn*

Tackiness aside.....what is with the poses? Her head against the bottom of a shoe? And in the CD version it looks like she is about to give herself an eye drop. lol. These were really taken a year ago?.....and in all that time they couldn't come up with better shots?

^^ waiting? it has already been here since the first post.

Please tell me it's a big fake xD

Wow Ayu. *_*
I don't hate it, but yes, the first cover is a lil' bit ****ty. :o

Loving these comments haha. I'm just sitting here lmao.

I like the voyeuristic aspect of it, but it's really messy. Text is bad, and I don't like how they cropped things and added like...a leopard background? If it were just the pictures (while they aren't great with) with a better text or something...

So basically, I don't really like them lol. Don't hate them, but I mean, there's not a lot to -really- like.

She has disappointed me before with a bad album cover but the music will be great.

I don't like Ayu's Party Queen covers, worst covers to date! #ayuDay

Oh wow, this is unexpected.....Sorta. Well, the CD only cover looks great. Too bad I want the CD +3DVD version, lol. XD

And is that...a broken lamp behind her head? In the shoe-against-head- picture. o_O

I prefer the covers of CD+DVD & CD version, but I ordered the CD+3DVD version.....

WTF is goin on wi that hashtag LOL this aint twitter

At least she's giving me no hard time at all to cancel this album.

hmm even tho those pics are old, i love the cd+dvd and cd only covers.
the cd+dvd+dvd cover, she looks sexy, but still need time to digest what's going on LOLS.
need bigger picture of course.

and i think she was DRUNK when she took the photoshoot haha XDDDD~

and CDL & POM Covers are so NICE!

Seriously though, I would take Sunrise/Sunset over this hot mess any day.

Wow, I've never been so disgusted with Ayu. Every shred of dignity she once had is gone. :|

I just copied my tweet here xD lol

I hope we are being trolled lol

o.m.g...she acutally looks great on the CD only but that said...what?!?!?!?
i feel trolled...seriously..

HOTEL LOVE SONGS Cover looks gd. it was that same photo from..what..ViVi?

and yes, ayu has that body to flaunt it..but really..does she NEED to??
ok sorry, im just too used to Ayu not being like that. Im sure if Kuu did it, everyone would be RAVING over it. SEE JAPONESQUE (but that was really classy)..
my issues are the text, the colour, the old photos (even though she looks great and i loved the photos when it just came out..in the CD+dVD and CD only)
and that random leopard print banner??? HUH???

Yi...kes..........WTF

Okay after I'm freaking out for 5 minutes.
The cover is...okay? fit to the title even I'm expecting more.
Ayu gone wild.LOL

all my dreams and expectations for this album are instantly ruined... o.O

whatdafuq is happening here? Did they just scrap those beautiful pink-haired-ayu photos or... OMG... i'm just speechless... :(

Isn't the CD+DVD cover in her TA dairy when she said there will be a life style book???

And where's the book!? LOL

Oh wow. That is definitely...different. >.<

THIS! And it seems like all of her team was drunk when they decided to accept these as album covers :D

But seriously, CD+3DVD is disgusting

Where did it come from, anyway? TA?

Well... This is officially bad cover day.
Luckily this will only strike every forth year.

I mean seriously my intuition is perfect latelly.... I don't really mind the portrait shots... but Ayu, c'mmon... okay okay.... she just prooved me that PQ is definitelly not going to be my Era...

I kind of still hope she's just trolling us >_>

!!!!!

:thud

hmmm still kind of a toss up for me. :) Although this might take the cake by a hair.

I usually like her album covers or I'm at least indifferent about them. The only ones I disliked were Next Level and the awful Miss Understood cd + dvd cover. Now though......can we go back to those days please? ;)

I'm laughing, but I'm also crying inside.

The Hotel Love Songs cover is okay... and, uh, I guess I like the CD only. But they look like photobook covers rather than actual album covers.

I ordered CD+DVD, so I'm hoping that cover isn't the same cover as the Life Style book that it was promoted with. o_O

MU CD+DVD? :'( You don't mean the horrible monkey smile on the CD-only? :rofl

the covers are fantastic. definitely a notch up from missteps like Next Level and Rock n Roll concert (liked the Love Songs one slightly better though)

Ayu used to be like, a classy person who would never resort to such trashy, downright ****ty shots. Wtf happened to her? She's not at all the artist she used to be. :irked

Wait, so if we ordered the CD+DVD+DVD set, are we going to be getting two separate items?

Are they REALLY official? I'm not a TA member anymore so I can't check the website!
Anyone else? lol
Sorry but I don't like them, I think it's the worst shoot ever!

OMG is that Ayu?? That's so not her style.

I dun like covers like that, especially for Ayu!!

Oh sorry, yeah I mean that one. :)

You get the cover of Ayu on all-fours with the CDL DVD, packaged together.

^Lucky day. Lol.

IM GOING TO EXPLODE

I
FREAKING
LOVE EM.

AHS IS GOING TO BURN!

I seriously feel like someone's trolling us. If I'm right, then the troll has done a reeeally good job

lol. That's the nicest way how you could put it.

I honestly think that cover is, like, Public Enemy #1.

:tired

Since when has Ayu's covers for anything stated something like "13th album" on the front. I'm thinking (and praying!) that these are fake. They just don't seem professional and well thought out.

i think that her posture in the first cover is a little too ...
but i don't consider that these covers are so bad..ayu looks "normal" without too use of photoshop XD i don't like the fact that they are old

tokyoxjapanxfan is a credible poster. They are real. :thud

The CD DVD DVD and CD Only are soooo bad o_o
At least the CDL cover is kinda cool, but this is the only good thing right now.

they are official from TA sadly.
LOLS.

I guess they were posted on TA??

Some of y'all are being overdramatic. The Duty cover and entire booklet shoot was on a similar level of trashiness - and for no apparent reason. Subtle trashiness is no better, imo.

And is this really an old photo shoot?

http://i47.tinypic.com/2mi3hht.jpg

Yeah, I think I see what they were going for aesthetically... executed poorly tho. I'm thinking if they had the cover photos as polaroids it would have enhanced the voyeuristic aspect.

Ero Ayu hihihi. 8D Doesn't look that bad imo. She would do something worse than this tbh. I'm kinda happy she ditched that innocent angel style for a change and went for a more sexier one. :)

I love CDL11-12 and PoM covers too. Especially PoM cover which is gorgeous. :)

Not to mention 2 of the pictures are ones we've never seen before lol. Unless avex itself is trolling us, these are definitely real. Unfortunately. :grumpy

wow, sexy Ayu. nice buttocks~
so this is how Ayu wear when having a party. xD

PoM DVD is going to be a real treat. Let's be positive in this dark hour, AHS!

:laugh





Whomp whomp whomp!

101 viewers in this section. It certainly got the attention.

I feel an AHS break down. Very soon.

I never really considered Duty trashy actually.

except for the fonts and layout of the covers (which really looked fan made), it's better than what I'd expected (except the DVD cover)... The tour DVD covers ain't that bad.
But another difficult to stow box set again.... this seems longer than RnRC?...

Duty? Really? What are you smoking? o_O Either you're high, or we have two different album booklets.

And yes, we've seen the CD+DVD cover before in the first double-paged ad that showed up in Vivi last year to promote the LIFE STYLE book.

I dislike only the fact that we had the CD+DVD right in front of us all that long.

But I love CD+2xDVD and CD ONLY!

Someone mentioned that there will be leopard print and I guess we have a champagne glass for you ;d
I don't like the "casual-arial" font, but I like the colors/how they put them.

honestly, at first I was 'nooooo' cause of the cheap pose, but honestly... I end up smiling. I love her because she's so shocking and I'll never know what she's gonna do next. I'm so proud after 13 years and 6 years of stanning the **** out of her she still amazes me and shocks me lol. I love her to death. And animal print is my life so Im proud to be Ayu stan once again lol. Now bring the music !!!!!!!!!!!

you are right! i have never seen any ayu album with "XXth album" on the cover :thud

Haha AHS will explode!!

Not the covers I am hoping for, but to me they are better than Love songs CD+DVD's big lips.

I will be defending trashy Ayu in the name of love.

well done Ayu
I need to buy the CD+DVD+DVD now

I love them omg

Ah! Now I get it. You're blind!

She might be half naked on the CD+DVD+DVD cover but my first thought was: THOSE SHOES. lol

I actually like the CD and CD+DVD covers. I usually dislike styled back hair but she pulls it off.

lol Duty trashy.

What the actual ****?

I knew I made the right choice not preordering this album.

somehow.... In Naked Talk photoshoot she showed even more skin but it was very tasteful and classy...how come she's wearing more here but looking totally ****ty and untasteful?

AYU if leslie took the pics... you really need to quit him....

lol I have a feeling 2012 is the year world ends because there's just too much "WTF" going on with the artists on my fave list xD

Edit: they're up on the official site now http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/discography/index.html

Duty was the first thing I thought of---she was literally a pouting sex kitten. Indulging fans' voyeuristic tendencies isn't really new, even though I think these are poorly done. It seems like people go off the handle about Ayu somehow becoming "****ty" every few years (months, even?) then immediately forget about it.

"Packaged together" meaning in a three-disc case like A BEST 2 , right? I think that's what the copy says--and that's what I was expecting--but the way they've visualized all of the different covers and tracklistings is confusing.

OH COME ON

SPARKLE PV IS MORE EROTIC THAN THIS. AND WITH NO CLASS.

come on guys, she's sexy and she knows it.

Thank god I didn't expect much or I would be just devastated.

I don't know, every single time someone picks up that record off my bookshelf I end up having to defend the album's integrity. They think it's a porno VCD.

Dude... She's in a cage dressed like a cheetah...

Not my fault some of you guys are sexually boring and have no imagination, going by the "OMG SHE HAS NO CLOTHES ON = TOO TRASHY" mentality. Is this middle school?

i like how for some people, lingerie instantly means trashy + not classy.

i think these pictures are styled very differently from something specifically porno. for one, the pulled back hair does a lot to undercut some of the overt sexiness, for me.

i wish people could look at things a little more analytically instead of jumping to unwarranted conclusions by just focusing on the obvious.

I'm really laughing (inside).

I like when she comes up with something she hasn't done so far.

Yet, this is just SO bad.

The CD+DVD cover is "fine", the dvd ones are really good.
But come on! The CD+3DVD looks fanmade, I can't believe a pro took it. It's just bad in a lot of ways. The amateurish feel can be really good when it is well done and clever, but it doesn't work at all when Leslie tries to go with it (it just looks really bad, hello Manuel's photobook).
The CD only must also be a joke. Is she eating... seriously? :rolleyes (in bra...).

And I don't want to go further as regards the font, its placement, this beautiful leopard print, the colors, the compo...

I'm not really offended by seeing her ass up or things like that. I'm offended by so much bad taste.

If the songs are *******ing good, I won't complain, but if they turn out to be as unoriginal and fogrettable as 4 songs on FIVE...

And hello cheap "grand-beautiful-limited-deluxe" packaging again...

It's Ayu, b**ch haha
